SMSFA welcomes tax white paper
The SMSF Association (SMSFA) has welcomed the 'fairness and complexity' focus of the Tax Discussion Paper released on Monday.
SMSFA said it looked forward to contributing to the debate on Australia's taxation system especially in terms of tax settings for superannuation and retirement benefits.
"It is good to see that the Tax Discussion Paper has acknowledged the broader retirement income goals of superannuation and its interaction with the age pension," SMSFA managing director and chief executive, Andrea Slattery, said.
"The SMSF Association will be providing information to our members and consulting with them to ascertain their views on the issues raised before making a formal submission on the paper."
