Description

This course provides a general introduction to the taxation of superannuation in Australia, in particular to the main types of superannuation funds and how their income is taxed, the treatment of contributions to those funds, and the taxation of benefits paid on retirement or termination of employment. The concessional tax treatment of income earned by superannuation funds and the benefits paid out are examined in detail. The course also explores areas such as the superannuation guarantee scheme, which is the Government's main tool for implementing its retirement incomes policy, and the superannuation contributions surcharge.
