The possible move by the government to impose a cap on superannuation balances has met with opposition from another industry body.

Any government policy aimed at making changes to the superannuation system should be taken to an election to allow Australians to vote on the issue.

The possibility of the Labor government introducing a cap on superannuation asset balances has again been criticised by the SMSF Association.

It has been claimed the current superannuation tax concessions require amending as they do not enable equity in the retirement savings system.

The new Labor government has confirmed a review of the tax concessions contained within the superannuation system is one of its policy objectives.

The SMSF Association is encouraging non-SMSF superannuation specialists to attend its next national conference, saying its content will have wide application.
