The year 2024 will arguably be known as the ‘cost of living crisis’ year. So many Australians are feeling the pain of this high inflation environment, particularly with everyday consumer items and mortgage stress. Unfortunately, our Chief Economist, Michael Knox, is not expecting an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia until mid-2025.
As we enter production of this edition of Your Wealth, the proposed $3 million super tax – or Div 296 as it is known - faces an uncertain future. Will it be tabled in February when Parliament resumes? If an early election is called, it could effectively be off the table until after the election.
We hope it gets shelved completely. We have always viewed this as bad policy; in fact, the worst policy that has ever been proposed for superannuation.
This latest publication will cover Australian retirement intentions, the new Aged Care Act 2024, Trump's trade negotiations policy, expected to reduce tariffs, contribution strategies for older generations, and understanding the benefits of the Legacy Pension Amnesty which is now law.
