The bulk of these changes apply from 1 July 2007, and thus it’s important going forward that clients are optimising their pensions and any contributions to superannuation within the relevant limits. This presentation outlines the issues and strategies regarding superannuation from 1 July 2007, as well as other financial planning considerations. Areas covered include:
- contributions to super
- pensions
- estate planning and superannuation
