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. We’ve now reviewed the exposure draft and explanatory materials in detail and have included our learnings in a special section of the Companion devoted to this measure, including:
- 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.
- What we know so far about defined benefit funds.
We understand that with any change, there is an adjustment. If you have feedback or ideas on how we can improve your experience, please share with us by submitting feedback via Heffron IQ.
