Class Super

Non-Concessional Contributions via Excel Loader - users can now upload historical Non-Concessional Contributions via the excel loader. The Excel loader will automatically capture when the Bring Forward Rule was triggered, streamlining transitions into Class. 

Work Test Exemptions for Contributions – updates have been made in various areas of the application to incorporate the changes to age limit restrictions that came into effect on 1 July 2020.  The change to age restrictions will impact superannuation contributions (both concessional and non-concessional) as well as spousal contributions. 

Feeds

Bell Potter Securities now supports International markets. Customers with a Bell Potter Securities data feed will be able to receive automated transaction and balance data for any foreign investments, reducing manual data entry that was previously required to enter this data into Class.

The authority process for Morgans Financial has been updated. Customers will be able to download an updated authority form to activate Morgans Financial Data feeds. These feeds will also be electronically sent to the provider when uploaded to Class to simplify the activation process.
