Superannuation Fund not listed

An employee has quoted his Super Fund as Colonial First State, with an ABN 98 002 348 352. The 2 funds on the list in MYOB listed funds have different ABNs. I checked ABN Lookup and it shows that ABN as Colonial First State Investments Ltd so it seems to be genuine. Can you advise me what to do please?

  • Hi PeterLeonard 

     

    Looking into that information provided, it looks like 98 002 348 352 is the ABN of the Colonial First State Investments Limited, which is the provider of the Colonial First State superannuation funds, not for the actual fund themselves. This is confirmed by the Super Fund Lookup tool provided by the ATO.

     

    I would recommend going back to the employee and the fund provider to ensure that you do have the actual correct superannuation fund information, including the USI for the super fund.

      PLease cancel the last question. The fund is listed in MYOB as "CFS First Choice Personal Super" Spin number agrees. Problem solved
