Executor of an estate?

Question:
Can the executor of a deceased person’s estate make a contribution to the deceased person’s super fund with the intention of claiming that contribution as a tax deduction?

Answer:
The executor can’t make the personal contribution on behalf of the deceased. The contribution would need to have been made before death.
However, if a contribution was made before the person died, the executor does have the ability to submit a Notice of Intent to claim a deduction on their behalf for the deceased’s final tax return.

Interest rates have been reduced by 0.25% down to 4.1% officially.
The big question is Will the banks pass it on?

Newsflash
General transfer balance cap will increase to $2 million on 1 July 2025

The December quarter CPI figure of 139.4 released today confirms that the general transfer balance cap (currently $1.9 million) will increase to $2 million on 1 July 2025.

This increase means that clients commencing their first retirement phase income stream in 2025–26 will start with a personal transfer balance cap of $2 million. Clients who already have a personal transfer balance cap that they have not fully utilised at any time in the past will see their cap increase on 1 July 2025 by a smaller amount (than the general cap increase) due to proportional indexation. Further information about the general and personal transfer balance cap can be found in section 21 of the FirstTech Super and Retirement Income Streams Guide.

The increase in the general transfer balance cap also impacts other super rules and concessions in 2025–26 as follows:

•
A member’s total super balance at 30 June 2025 must be less than $2 million to access the standard non-concessional contributions cap. Note that the two lower total super balance thresholds that govern access to the non-concessional cap bring-forward rule in 2025–26 (currently $1.66 million and $1.78 million) are not yet known as they also depend on average weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE) data that will not be released until late February.

•
A member’s total super balance at 30 June 2025 must be less than $2 million to access the Government co-contribution.

•
For a client to receive a spouse contribution tax offset, the receiving spouse’s total super balance at 30 June 2025 must be less than $2 million.

•
The defined benefit income cap (currently $118,750) will increase to $125,000.
