While much of the focus has been on the complexity associated with the introduction of a new tax on superannuation earnings for those with large superannuation balances, with the Government recently introducing the Treasury Laws Amendment (Better targeted superannuation concessions and other measures) Bill 2023 into parliament, the time has come to start developing a deeper understanding of the mechanics that will underpin this new tax, should it become law.
