Income tax: should you apply to the Taxation Office for early release of superannuation benefits?

No, the Taxation Office does not have the authority to deal with this question.

Section 9 of the Occupational Superannuation Standards Act 1987 gives this authority to the Insurance and Superannuation Commission (ISC).

Please contact the ISC Hotline on 008 811 117, or you can write to P.O. Box 254 BELCONNEN ACT 2616.
