Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced tax on superannuation earnings for balances over $3 million will double from 15 per cent to 30 per cent from 2025.

Chalmers pointed out that 17 people have more than $100 million in their super accounts, while one person has more than $400 million, and was at pains to stress the government was not coming after the super balances of normal Australians.
Chalmers said he has no plans to index the $3 million threshold – meaning the level at which higher tax will be levied would not rise over time.
