Hi the end of the year is near and that means the time to contribute into your super is short. For those who I have recommended to make member concessional or any other contributions other than Salary Sacrifice contributions the dates and types of contributions have different processing times.
If you would like to make a contribution and you need me to come and see you to pick up a cheque please email Meegan and clientservices@pivotalplanning.com.au to arrange a time.
Thanks for your time.

Cheques received in planner practices between 20 June and 30 June 2014 Cheques received by planner practices between 20 June and 30 June 2014 must be sent immediately to AMP.
Cheques you do not expect AMP to receive until after 3pm 30 June and before 5pm 2 July 2014, must be accompanied by an EOFY Cheque acknowledgement form. This form will be made available in June.
Cheques with an EOFY Cheque acknowledgement form attached, will be processed as an EOFY payment (effective 30 June 2014) if received at AMP before 5pm Wednesday 2 July 2014. Note: Couriering should be considered if there is any doubt about the timeliness of the mail service.
Cheques received after 5pm Wednesday 2 July will be processed with an effective date of the date received.
By law, AMP is unable to backdate a payment. AMP applies contributions to a plan using the date the contribution and all relevant documentation is received, not the date the payment was sent, nor the date the cheque was mailed or received at a planner's office (except with the EOFY Cheque Acknowledgement form).
