Superannuation

Proposed changes to superannuation. This information is important for ADF members as the election period for the first MSBS Retention Benefit recipients to be affected starts very soon after the legislation is due to be passed. It is important that those members, and indeed any member considering one of the various retention/completion bonuses, get financial advice to maximise the tax-effectiveness of their bonuses.
Please Refer to the relevant Superannuation website.
