About Super

Factsheets

Ordinary time earnings
From 1 July 2008, all Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions must be calculated using ordinary time earnings (OTE) as the earnings base.

Government co-contribution scheme
If you are eligible and make personal contributions to your superannuation fund, the Government will match your contribution with a co-contribution up to certain limits.

Accepting an employee's choice
Eligible employees must be given a choice of super fund, but there are circumstances where employers can reject their choice.

Where is your super?
It is easy to find out where all your old super amounts are currently and consolidate them.

Contractors and superannuation
Some contractors are defined as employees under SG legislation and are entitled to receive super contributions.

Beneficiary Nominations
You can choose who will get your super and insurance payments if you die before your retire, however your choice may not be legally binding.

UK Pension transfers
Professional Associations Superannuation Fund, of which Accountants Super is a division, is now a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS). This means no extra UK tax will apply if you transfer your UK pension(s) into your Accountants Super account, provided certain conditions are met.
