Financial Standard Comments - Greens propose scaled super contribs tax The Australian Greens have proposed that rather than tax superannuation at a flat rate of 15%, it should be taxed on a sliding discounted scale based on a fund members' marginal tax rates. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=22455554 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:11:05 +1000 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:11:05 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Richard Baker (MBAFS) Why not just let people make contributions to super as they see fit, as much as they can afford and, at the very least, go back to the $50k limit on concessional contributions for over 50's.

As if the super system isn't complex enough....

Leave it to the Greens and we'll all be in a bigger mess than we are today.

Let's allow some experienced business people to make decisions from now on.

If it's all about helping those on low-incomes why did I invest so much time and money (that I didn't have at the time) on my education to drag myself out of a low-income future...maybe I shouldn't have bothered...just wait for the handouts....Labor and Greens to the rescue...gotta love a class war when we have compulsory voting don't you.
