About this figure

The time in which a fund can still accept voluntary contributions, counted from the end of the month in which the member reaches the age limit for accepting all types of contributions. The ATO gives this rule for the 2022-23 financial year and later. The ATO page shows the same number of days for earlier years, when the work test also had to be met.
