How superannuation tax concessions help the rich get richer
Manage episode 431567956 series 119180
Super tax concessions make inequality worse and are at risk of becoming more expensive than the aged pension.
Superannuation tax concessions are meant to encourage saving for retirement, but the system is being gamed to help the wealthiest avoid paying tax. Australia Institute Chief Economist Greg Jericho joins Ebony Bennett on this episode of Follow the Money to bust some super myths and discuss what a fairer system should look like.
This discussion was recorded on Tuesday 30 July 2024 and things may have changed since recording.
