The Government has provided a further update of the proposed $500,000 lifetime non-concessional (after tax) Contribution cap from the 2016/17 Budget.

At this stage the Government is now likely to scrap the idea of a lifetime limit and reduce the maximum yearly after Tax Contribution limit to $100,000 (down from $180,000).

It appears the new proposal will retain;

• the 3 year bring forward provision
• the work test for over 65's
• Prohibit further after tax contributions for individuals with a balance of more than $1.6m in super.

Please keep in mind that this proposal has not been legislated and we suggest will still have changes to come.
