Lump Sum (one-off) Withdrawals
If you are planning any large acquisitions in July that will require drawing down on your investments, superannuation or pension accounts, please be aware that most investment managers delay redemptions in the first weeks of the new financial year as they finalise their end of year accounts.
To avoid any issues, we recommend you redeem any cash that will be needed in July, by no later than 15th June 2020 – or if possible, defer any large purchases to late July.
PLEASE NOTE: All your regular payments (pensions etc.) will go through as normal. This temporary hold only relates to one-off withdrawals.
Contributions
If you were planning to make superannuation contributions before the end of this financial year, please allow 5 to 7 working days for your superannuation contributions to be processed by your super fund.
We recommend that if you are wanting to make additional super contributions for this financial year please do so by the 19th June 2020.
Please see following information about the superannuation contribution caps that are applicable for the 2019/2020 year:
Concessional Contribution Caps for 2019/2020 (Contributions that are Tax Deductible):
