Government Must Consult Farmers On Superannuation Changes: Australia’s peak farming body has warned that superannuation changes announced by Treasurer, Jim Chalmers could cool investment in agriculture, unless the detail is worked through with farmers.
National Farmers’ Federation CEO Tony Mahar is now calling on the Government to undertake formal consultation before the measure is budgeted and legislated later this year.
“For many farmers, their farm is their superannuation, and it’s not uncommon to hold land assets in superannuation – particularly as the next generation enters the business.”
“Now is not the time to dampen investment in one of Australia’s growth industries that creates jobs in regional Australia and plays a central role in our transition to a low carbon economy,” Mr Mahar concluded.
