On 24 March 2020, the Federal Government passed legislation to assist superannuation and pension members respond to the financial impacts of the coronavirus. These changes, applying in both FY20 and FY21, allow:
- Eligible members in FirstChoice Personal Super to withdraw $10,000 from their account as tax free payments; and
- FirstChoice Pension members to temporarily reduce the minimum amount that must be drawn from their account by 50%.
To learn more about these changes and how you may be able to take advantage of them, go to here.
