'Quasi-cap' could help create a fairer super system

Super System Reform

A proposed "quasi-cap" could lead to a fairer superannuation system, particularly benefiting low-paid workers.

Changes to superannuation, including a tax on accounts over $3 million at 30% and over $10 million at 40%, aim to prevent wealthy individuals from exploiting the system.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers proposed these changes, with thresholds tied to inflation to protect lower-income Australians.

Independent economists support these tweaks, stating they "had to happen" to create a more equitable system.
