Description

The Australian Superannuation Handbook 2026–27

Superannuation remains one of Australia's most tax-effective wealth creation and retirement savings vehicles, but ongoing legislative and regulatory reform continues to increase complexity for advisers, accountants, SMSF professionals and other practitioners.

Current to 1 July 2026, The Australian Superannuation Handbook 2026–27 provides practical, authoritative guidance on superannuation taxation, contributions, benefits, compliance, retirement income streams and social security. Written in clear, accessible language and supported by practical examples, it is an essential reference for anyone working with superannuation. The edition includes comprehensive coverage of the major reforms reshaping the superannuation landscape, including Payday Super and the new Division 296 tax on large superannuation balances

What's New in the Australian Superannuation Handbook 2026–27

  • Completely rewritten Superannuation Guarantee chapter with comprehensive coverage of the new Payday Super regime and employer obligations from 1 July 2026.
  • New dedicated chapter on Division 296 tax, covering the additional tax on earnings attributable to superannuation balances exceeding $3 million.
  • Updated rates, thresholds and contribution caps applying from 1 July 2026.
  • Expanded guidance on retirement income streams and retirement planning strategies.
  • Analysis of the latest ATO, APRA and ASIC developments affecting superannuation funds, trustees, advisers and employers.
