‘Our policy stands’: PM downplays Treasury advice on doubling tax rate for superannuation over $3m

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reaffirmed his government's stance on superannuation tax policy, despite recent Treasury advice suggesting a potential doubling of the tax rate for balances exceeding $3 million. This decision comes amid ongoing debates about taxing unrealised gains, which have drawn criticism. Albanese's commitment to maintaining the current policy is significant as it reflects the government's approach to wealth management and fiscal responsibility, impacting many Australians' retirement savings.
