The SMSF Association agrees the objective of superannuation should not be to provide tax concessions for individuals with excessively large superannuation balances. However, the superannuation system already contains a myriad of contribution caps and balance thresholds, some of which over time will address the issues that the proposed model also seeks to address. The SMSF Association has been a long-term advocate of the need to simplify the rules by reducing the number of superannuation caps and thresholds. The proposed model achieves the exact opposite and risks making a complex system even more complex.
