New content – everything you need to know now about the proposed tax for members with super balances of more than $3m
Recently the Government released draft legislation for their proposed new tax for members with superannuation balances of more than $3m.

- How the measure will apply to members when they die.
- How the measure will apply to members who inherit superannuation from their spouse.
- Modifications when funds have in place limited recourse borrowing arrangements.
- How and when negative fund earnings are able to be carried forward.
- The impact of holding death and disability insurance inside superannuation.
