It would be great to have an opposition that pushes the current government to perform better. Competition increases performance. The Coalition looks like a toddler taking on a newly seasoned professional prize fighter. Laughable, clown like, pathetic … ... See MoreSee Less

Whether you think the new super tax is going to hurt you or not... You should be contacting your local member and senator. The tax is going to be retrospective and backdated. This is WAY outside the norm for anything that resembles a fair tax. Jim Chalmers MP is proving to be disappointingly dangerous. ... See MoreSee Less

Treasurer going against department advice if Div 296 backdated
www.smsfadviser.com
If the Division 296 legislation is backdated to 1 July 2025, the Treasurer will be going against the advice of his own department, the SMSFA has said.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Retrospective, unrealised and unindexed and thus unfair on at least 3 counts. The government's first serious adjustment of the tax system is not a good sign for the future. Jim Chalmers MP should be ashamed. Having a Super Super Tax is as reasonable as having a super profits tax, but it should be implemented well. Post legislation, indexed and on realised gains. ...

Neither of Australia's major political parties is willing to take on the fossil fuel industry. The result - we give away Australia's natural resources and don't keep any value for it.

Div293 tax was pushed through with the same justification in 2012-13 - "It will only impact a few and it's only an incremental change". Div293 impacts an increasing number of Aussies every year. Anyone on a "good" income pays 30% on their super contributions today.The proposed Div296 is also a fundamental change, taxing unrealised gains and, like our personal tax rates, is not inflation-indexed. It's a sneaky, underhanded way to introduce a big tax that will impact everyone in future. Contact your senator and complain. The house is lost.Jim Chalmers MP you know what you are doing and you are not being honest with the public. ... See MoreSee Less
