AustralianSuper Chief Strategy Officer, Paula Benson today acknowledged the Federal Government’s policy announcement about taxation on superannuation.
‘AustralianSuper welcomes the Treasurer’s proposed changes and congratulates the Government on initiatives that will make our already world-class super system even more equitable,’ said Ms Benson.
‘The Treasurer’s landmark reforms will make super fairer and help Australians build their retirement savings with confidence.
We are long-time supporters of lifting the LISTO to help people who need it most, especially women with low incomes. The indexing of the Division 296 proposal and taxing of realised gains will ensure the system remains fit for purpose for future generations of Australian workers.
‘It’s important for Parliament to legislate the changes to ensure Australians can retire in their best possible financial position.’
