The proposed new $3 million super changes: What you need to know

Thursday 27 April 2023 at 11:00 am AEST

We take a look at the proposed new tax regime for super fund members with balances above $3 million, how it will work, when it may come into play, and what you should be considering now.

Find out more

If you’d like to contribute more to super in your pre-retirement years but you’re worried about the concessional contribution cap, checking your eligibility to use carry-forward concessional contributions is critical.

This measure could allow you to contribute more than you think – boosting your balance and reducing your tax bill.

Learn more about catch-up contributions here.
