Individuals may accrue unused basic concessional contributions cap amounts from the 2018–19 financial year onwards. These amounts may be used in later income years (2019–20 onwards) if the member’s total superannuation balance is less than $500,000 on 30 June of the previous financial year. Accrued unused basic concessional contributions cap amounts may be carried forward for a maximum of five years. For more information see the FirstTech Super guide. |

The bring-forward rule may allow an individual to bring forward up to two future years of non-concessional contributions caps into the current year (in addition to the standard non-concessional contributions cap), depending on a person’s age, past use of the bring forward rule and total superannuation balance at 30 June 2025. |
