On the last day of Parliament for the year, the Senate has agreed to split the ‘Treasury Laws Amendment (Better Targeted Superannuation Concessions and Other Measures) Bill 2023’ to isolate the controversial Division 296 measure – being the proposed additional 15% tax on super balances exceeding $3 million from 1 July 2025. As a result, the Division 296 measure will be in a standalone Bill, the ‘Treasury Laws Amendment (Better Targeted Superannuation Concessions) Bill 2023’. This will be considered by the Senate upon the resumption of Parliament next year (currently scheduled for February 2025). ⚠️ Tax agents and advisors will have to stay tuned for further developments as there may be further changes that could impact superannuation strategies and compliance requirements for clients!

Div 296 is fair and very much needed tax measure. At the moment a person with over $5 million sitting in super is only taxed at a concessional 15% tax on all investment earnings. What? The majority of Australians are unfairly and illogically helping/subsidising these very wealthy Australians get even wealthier. If the income was taxed at marginal rates it would be much higher. This legislation fairly taxes the investment earnings for a super account over $3 million buy an additional 15% to 30%.
