Better targeted superannuation concessions web content
Members provided feedback on recently published ato.gov.au content on better targeted superannuation concessions (BTSC).
Members were advised new Division 296 website content and updates to the existing total super balance content were published for the 1 July 2026 start date, based on feedback from the BTSC working group. In addition, the ATO finalised the public advice and guidance plan and are aiming to have draft rulings published by the end of 2026 for consultation.
