I'm not against additional taxes for 'very high' super balances, but the following would improve the proposal: 1) Indexing the $3m cap; 2) Using a notional earnings calc similar to excess contributions; Seems a very rushed policy. afr.com/politics/feder…

Industry flags ‘enormous flaw’ in super tax proposal Good article outlining the two major flaws in the proposed policy: 1) No indexation; 2) Calculation method will tax unrealised gains. Easy fix: Index the $3m cap + use notional earnings calculation. moneymanagement.com.au/news/policy-re…

If only there were thousands of highly trained financial professionals capable of giving non-comprehensive financial advice on areas such as superannuation and SMSF 🤔 Nah, it’s cool. Let’s just get bank and super fund employees to do it 😐 afr.com/companies/fina…
