Whats new?

Submit tax deduction claims directly in North Online without needing to upload or return a signed form for the online process.

Claims submitted online are now processed through a more automated, straight-through workflow, with immediate updates once they’re submitted and finalised.

Workflow steps, notes, forms and progress updates are now consolidated into a single workflow, making Activity Management clearer and more efficient for advisers and support staff.

Why this matters

These improvements are designed to reduce admin, improve
efficiency and help you spend less time chasing paperwork and more timesupporting better client outcomes.

Key benefits include:

  • Faster claim processing and immediate transaction updates
  • Less manual handling for advisers and support staff
  • A clearer, more streamlined workflow through Activity Management
  • Support for compliance requirements through electronic attestations and declarations in the online process. 

Important to know

The option to upload a Tax Deduction for Personal Contributions form in North Online has been removed for clients, while advisers continue to have that functionality available.

Edit access to tax deduction claims has also been restricted. Users who previously had editing permissions can still view and make changes up to the pre-submission stage, but they can no longer submit the claim. There is no change for users with read-only access. 

Need to use a form?

If you do not have the appropriate written authorisation to accept the declaration and submit the claim online, you’ll need to complete the Notice of intent to claim a deduction for personal super contributions form available on the ATO website, or use the North Notice of intent to claim a deduction form available in North Online under Products > Forms for the previous financial year only. The signed form can then be uploaded through North Online > Activities > Upload forms. 

Need support?

For more information, advisers can refer to the how-to guide in North under Support > Training Resources > How to claim a personaltax deduction.

If you need a walkthrough, reach out to your Business Development Manager or North Training Consultant. You can also explore other recent platform updates on the Platform Enhancements page.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

This article includes forecasts, statements and estimates in relation to future matters, many of which are based on subjective judgements and/or proprietary internal modelling. No representation is made that such statements or estimates will prove correct. The reader should be aware that forward-looking statements are predictive in character and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions and/or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Results ultimately achieved may differ materially from forecast results. No independent third party has reviewed the reasonableness of any such forward-looking statements or the assumptions on which those forecasts are based.

The performance results in this article are hypothetical back test results for a model portfolio. They do not reflect the performance of actual investments. The back-tested results were achieved by means of the retroactive application of a model that was designed with the benefit of hindsight. This cannot reflect all of the complexities of actual investing and there are many material factors that would have affected actual results, including those relating to the markets in general, the impact of fees and expenses, liquidity activity and other factors, any or all of which may have adversely affected actual performance.

A number of the statements are based on information and research published by others. We have not confirmed, and do not warrant, the accuracy or completeness of that third-party information or research.
