Q: If I transition to a retirement income account am I still eligible to use bring-forward and carry-forward options to increase my pension pot?

A: Yes, you can still use carry forward and bring forward contribution rules if you have a transition to retirement pension. Contributions must be made to your accumulation account. Pension accounts (including transition to retirement pensions) can’t accept contributions.

Getting closer to retirement sharpens the focus on building your balance and can bring the peak of your potential to save. If your 30 June balance was less than $500,000, take the time to consider turbocharging your super and tax savings by contributing more than the usual annual cap with carry-forward.
