Legislation extending the age at which members can trigger the non-concessional ‘bring-forward’ rule has passed both Houses of Parliament and awaits Royal Assent.

Under the new rules, clients can trigger a bring-forward period from 2020/21 onwards if they are under age 67 (previously age 65) on 1 July at the start of the relevant financial year.

This is good news, as it provides more opportunities for people to make non-concessional contributions later in life. In addition, it provides certainty that additional contributions made in the hope that the legislation would be passed will be assessed under the new rules.
