Hi All, I just checked my super account balance. I was shocked to see Esuperfund taking a payment for themselves to a value of $701. I have emailed them and expecting a reply. Can someone please let me know what I might expect this payment to be for: I joined in 2010 September (setup in November), the setup was free and the first years accounting and auditing cost is free. They have just completed our return. So afaik, 2010 July -> 2011 June (Audit, tax return) should be free. We are yet to do 2011 July -> 2012 June, so why have I been charged $701. Wondering if they are trying to recoup the setup / first year tax return costs. Anyone able to shed some light and report back if you have also been charged a similar amount. Cheers, Slam
Having a look at their website, the fee may be for the 2012 annual compliance payable in January. Would be handy if they sent me an email to remind me, lucky I had funds to actually cover the payment. Slam
I just signed the forms, one of them is an automatic debit from your account to them at the start of each year to cover the audit.
