Superannuation and Tax

The latest report from Mercer - Tax and Superannuation: The Shortcomings of the Superannuation Taxation Expenditures - suggests that focusing on superannuation tax concession expenditure figures to shape superannuation policy, without considering age pension savings is short-sighted and misleading. Our report highlights the need for a more holistic approach to setting long-term policy, factoring in the role superannuation tax concessions play in reducing the cost of the age pension.

The publication follows the Government's announcement of changes to superannuation which were primarily at the margin of the superannuation tax framework. Mercer experts have reviewed the proposed changes and outlined what they will mean for Australians, superannuation funds, and employers.
