Frequently asked questions
The benefits of providing your tax file number (TFN) are:
- Australian Ethical will be able to accept all permitted types of contributions to your account(s).
- You will not pay more tax than you need to. This affects both contributions to your super and benefit payments when you start drawing down your super benefits.
- It will make it much easier to find different super accounts in your name so that you receive all your super benefits when you retire.
- Australian Ethical will be able to use the ATO SuperTICK service to verify your TFN, name and date of birth.
Australian Ethical Super is authorised by law to ask for your TFN.
Providing your TFN will make sure you won't pay more tax than you need to. There are other benefits of providing your TFN.
When we have your TFN, we will only use it for lawful purposes based on current legislation. We may pass your TFN to any other super fund or account to which your super is transferred in the future, unless you request in writing that this is not to be done.
Once you have provided your consent above, it will remain effective until such time as you advise us to remove it. To remove consent please contact us on 1800 021 227 Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.30pm AEST/AEDT.
First you need to make sure you have an account with us. You can do this by joining online. During the limited service period, we will securely hold onto your details, update you regularly via email, and process your application as soon as we can. After your application is processed, we will send you your new account details to commence combining funds from your SMSF to your new Australian Ethical superannuation account.
Australian Ethical must use SuperStream to roll over your super benefits. This means your SMSF will need an electronic service address (ESA) and Australian business number (ABN). You can get an ESA from an SMSF messaging provider or through your SMSF intermediary/administrator.
For more information, please refer to the ATO self-managed super fund rollover page.
You can do either of the following
- Login to Australian Ethical's member portal and go to Combine Super page to search for your other super funds to consolidate
- Fill in our super rollover form and uploading it via your member portal or by calling 1800 021 227
