Proportional indexation of transfer balance caps from 1 July 2023.

The ATO reminds taxpayers that, from 1 July 2023, the general transfer balance cap will be indexed.

Individuals will have a personal transfer balance cap between $1.6 and $1.9 million, based on the highest ever balance of their transfer balance account between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2023.

While indexation will occur from 1 July 2023, the ATO won't be displaying member’s updated personal transfer balance caps until 11 July 2023.

The ATO encourages all SMSFs to report any events that occurred prior to 1 July 2023 by 30 June 2023, to ensure member’s personal transfer balance cap calculations are based on correct and up to date information.

From 11 July, both members and their agents will be able to view the member’s personal transfer balance cap on the ATO’s website.

After 11 July 2023, a member's personal transfer balance cap will be recalculated if the ATO receives reporting of events effective prior to 1 July 2023.

Individuals can continue to report transfer balance cap information to the ATO between 1 July 2023 and 11 July 2023, however these will not be processed until after this period.

This means the ATO won't be able to issue or revoke excess transfer balance determinations it has sent to a member, or commutation authorities it has sent to a fund.

Processing of any reported events will continue as normal after 11 July 2023.
