The bring-forward measures and 6-member SMSF bill passes Parliament
Bring forward measures – increase in age
The bring-forward measures will amend the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to enable individuals aged 65 and 66 to make up to three years of non-concessional superannuation contributions under the bring-forward rule.
Previously, members under age 65 at any time in a financial year may effectively bring forward up to two years’ worth of non-concessional cap for that income year, allowing them to contribute a greater amount up to $300,000 without exceeding their non-concessional cap.
6-Member Bill
The 6-member SMSF bill was passed to increase the maximum number of allowable members in SMSFs from four to six.
SMSFs are often used by families as a vehicle for controlling their own superannuation savings and investment strategies so increasing the allowable size of these funds increases choice and flexibility for members.
