A tax cut to save the future

Article Abstract:

The recent changes in taxation of contributions towards superannuation funds in Australia are discussed. The need to have more tax cuts so that more and more savings flow towards this type of retirement savings is emphasized. Such tax policies are necessary because Australian population is aging, and the provision for old age is inadequate. Consequently, the government will have to bear the costs, which it can ill afford at that time.
