30/06/10 CLIENT UPDATE: Extension in Drawdown Relief for Account-Based Pensions
The Government has today announced that it will extend the drawdown relief currently provided for account-based superannuation pensions to the 2010-11 year.
The law requires that minimum payments be made from a superannuation account-based pension at least annually. Minimum payments are determined by age and account balance on 1 July each year.
The relief will again be in the form of a 50% reduction in the minimum payment amounts for account-based, allocated and market‑linked pensions.
Paul Cleary has considerable expertise in the provision of specialist financial services and would be pleased to offer strategic superannuation legal advice.
