We expect to begin sending your clients the following documents from mid July 2024:
- An Insurance Premium Summary for your Zurich clients with an Income Protection policy (*) where the total premium paid during the 2023-2024 financial is greater than zero.
- Annual Statements for your clients with lump sum policies held in super (*) where the policy is still in force at 30 June 2024.
(*) Excludes policies held in the Zurich Insurance-only Superannuation Plan (ZIOSP). The administrator of this Plan will send your clients:
- An Annual Member Statement if the policy is still in force at 30 June 2024 – sent late August.
- A ‘Notice of intent to claim a tax deduction for personal super contributions’ form (Section 290-170 Notice) if your client has made personal contributions during the 2023-2024 financial year and their policy is still in force at 30 June 2024 – sent from late July.
The trustee will send an Acknowledgement letter the next day after receiving a completed section 290-170 notice.
This form is also available or from the ATO website at:

It is important to remember that one of the eligibility criteria required by the ATO is that there must be an active membership in the Plan at the time we receive the completed notice. If a member has left the Plan (e.g. through cancellation of the policy) we are unfortunately unable to action the notice. Please keep this in mind when considering changes to your client’s membership, and ensure notices are submitted prior to the closure of membership.
