Webinar - Understanding the 2017 Superannuation Changes

In the May 2016 Federal Budget, the Government announced significant changes to superannuation. However, with a closely fought Federal Election soon afterwards, many of these proposed changes came under intense scrutiny. Now the dust has settled, the resultant superannuation changes have been locked in place and are due to take effect from 1 July 2017.

In the upcoming Webinar, Understanding the 2017 Superannuation Changes, Superannuation consultant, Monica Rule will work through three of the major changes affecting Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs).

In this one hour webinar, Monica will use various scenarios to explain the new laws as well as things to consider when determining the best course of action for SMSFs to mitigate any negative outcomes.

Monica will address the SMSF changes as they relate to:

• concessional contribution limits;
• non-concessional contribution limits; and
• limits on pension accounts

These changes are expected to have a massive impact on individuals with superannuation balances of more than $500,000 and superannuation pensions worth more than $1.6 million.

SMSF trustees and professionals need to understand these changes so that they can put effective plans in place before 30 June 2017. Being aware of the changes may enable SMSF members to avoid avert incurring on excess contributions, investment earnings and on their pension income.

This webinar is suitable for professional advisers and SMSF Trustees. It assumes a basic knowledge of SMSFs.
