Making contributions

Payments by EFT

Contact us on 1300 130 780 to obtain the details necessary to make an EFT payment.

Required Information

By law, we cannot accept superannuation contributions unless we receive basic information about who the contribution is for.  For each contribution you must provide the following information for each new employee:

• full name
• date of birth
• current address
• tax file number and
• contribution amount/s separated into SGC (company) contributions, Member (after-tax) contributions and Salary Sacrifice (pre-tax) contributions

In addition to this information, LUCRF requests that the contribution report clearly provides:

• the payment period
• each employee's LUCRF Super membership number, unique payroll number and/or employee number
• full details in an electronic format where possible.  We have options available via our Employer Online (EOL) facility and Electronic Data Interface (EDI)

Processing of your employees' contributions may be significantly delayed without this information.

EDI preferences - data & format specifications

When we receive contribution reports electronically, we have a preferred format.  This format ensures that we can quickly and accurately distribute your contributions into the correct accounts.  Our preferred format includes:

• Either an Excel spreadsheet or a comma delimited CSV file
• One (1) line of data per member (only) 
• Different contribution types (SG, member and salary sacrifice) detailed in separate columns
• Text data such as names and addresses need to be all in capitals.
• Monetary amounts should be shown as plain numbers.  If the amount for a particular contribution type is nil, use zeros (0) instead of blank spaces.

Note: Please do not add any extra data at the end of your file, all termination dates need to be included in the comments section.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If we do not receive the minimum required information within 90 days of the contribution being made, we are required to refund contributions to you.  Our contribution refund policy stipulates that we will seek to obtain all necessary information from the employer prior to a refund of contribution being made.

Effective from 1st July 2007 legislative changes, if we receive a member contribution for a new employee that you have not provided a tax file number (TFN), we will not be able to accept this member payment and it will be returned back to you.

If you wish to have a list of employees that we do not have a TFN for, please contact us on 1300 130 780, email us at employers@lucrf.com.au or contact your local LUCRF Super Area Services Manager directly.
