What laws apply to my super?
There are different pieces of legislation which apply to superannuation (from when the amount is contributed to when the benefit is taken as a lump sum pension).
Broadly, the Government imposes laws on:
- The amount an individual can contribute into super,
- The operation of the super fund while your benefits are accummulating or being paid,
- When you can access your super benefit; and
- when and how your beneficiaries recieve your super benefits.
Refer to contributions, accessing my super, retirement, tax and security sections for more details on the laws and limitations which apply to superannuation.
