The $3.4 trillion in superannuation accounts across the country is set to play a role in funding initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has outlined key areas for change in the superannuation sector, but has appeared to contradict one of his colleagues with his comments.

An individual’s declaration the work test has been satisfied is now more significant as it must be made to the ATO and not the super fund.

Superannuation will definitely play a more specific and significant role in the economic policy of the Labor Party should it win the federal election.

SMSF trustees are allowed to employ short-term borrowings in some specific circumstances to satisfy certain financial commitments of a fund.

The budget has corrected an administrative oversight removing a requirement for SMSFs to report fund information only relevant for retail and industry superannuation funds.
