Sanity Prevails: Breaking Down the Latest Superannuation Tax Changes and Payday Super
#9. Neil and Sarah sit down to discuss the latest developments in Australian superannuation policy.
After two years of debate and lobbying, the government has announced changes to the proposed Div296 tax on high-balance super accounts, opting to tax only realised capital gains rather than unrealised gains. They also explore the introduction of a new 40% tax rate on income from super balances over $10 million, and consider the broader impact of these reforms on both high-net-worth individuals and everyday members. The conversation covers updates to the low-income super tax offset (LISTO) and the rollout of Payday Super, which will require employers to pay super contributions within seven days of payday.
Neil and Sarah reflect on the legislative process, practical challenges for employers and funds, and how these changes might affect the retirement landscape moving forward.
