(1) If you are an individual, you can choose to disregard all or part of a * capital gain if:

(b) if you are under 55 just before you make the choice--you contribute an amount equal to the asset's * CGT exempt amount to a * complying superannuation fund or an * RSA; and
Note: For the non - deductibility of the contribution, see subsection 290 - 150(4).
(c) the contribution is made:

Note 1: Section 103 - 25 tells you when the choice must be made.
