Description

With the ongoing Henry, Cooper, Stronger Super, Future of Financial Advice (FoFA) reforms set to shake up the superannuation industry, new risks and opportunities have emerged in navigating the superannuation system.
 
Stay up-to-date with the ever-changing world of superannuation with the Australian Superannuation Handbook 2012-13, an ideal reference for financial planners, accountants, auditors, lawyers, superannuation trustees, fund administrators, and other participants in the superannuation and financial services industry.

By tracking the superannuation life cycle in a modern context, the Australian Superannuation Handbook 2012-13 provides a complete and authoritative guide to the operation of the entire superannuation system.  Current to 1 September 2012, the Handbook incorporates coverage of legislation proposing to implement the Henry, Cooper, Stronger Super and FoFA reforms.
 
Key changes for 2012-13 and beyond include:
  • Refund option for excess concessional contributions up to $10,000; 
  • Government low-income contribution up to $500 for those earning below $37,000; 
  • SMSFs – new rules for investments in collectables and greater powers for Tax Office to issue penalties against trustees; 
  • Limited recourse borrowings – Commissioner’s views on “repairing” acquirable assets (as distinguished from the prohibition on improvements); 
  • MySuper - low-cost default product from 1 July 2013; 
  • Trustees to be subject to new duties from 1 July 2013, together with additional obligations for MySuper; 
  • FoFA – start date for “opt in” requirement deferred to 1 July 2013; 
  • APRA standards-making powers - trustees will be required to comply with APRA’s new prudential standards.
Australian Superannuation Handbook is available on Thomson Reuters' Tax and Accounting Online platform, and is updated in March and September each year.
 
~NEW~ This is also available as an eBook on the Thomson Reuters' Proview eReader.
