The Law of Superannuation in Australia

Superannuation law has been driven by a perplexing array of taxation, compliance and prudential issues. Trustees and their advisers complain, rightly, about the difficulties of operating within this legislative maze. The Law of Superannuation in Australia addresses this urgent need for authoritative guidance on the legal aspects of superannuation.

Respected author Noel Davis explains, clearly and concisely, the principles of superannuation, trust and taxation law relevant to the administration of superannuation funds. He examines the powers, duties, rights and liabilities of trustees, administration and governing rules, contributions, fund audits, complaint procedures and taxation of benefits. The product also provides relevant superannuation and related legislation.
