Hi, just a big downvote for UniSuper from me. Due to work related stress I retired early and over a period of two years drew down my super paying the required tax because I was under 60. I recently received a massive tax bill from the ATO who discovered that UniSuper had not with-held tax on all of my withdrawals only some of them.
I had no idea this had happened until I received the bill. The ATO has been through the account and seen where they failed to withhold tax.
I have been in touch with them and they advised me to put everything in writing and submit it to the complaints section which I did several months ago but I have heard nothing. Hugely unimpressed by this and will never recommend UniSuper to anyone.
Just FYI! They have messed things up for me big time. Paul
