Show Notes:
What if the government’s proposed superannuation tax changes weren’t just targeting the ultra-wealthy, but could one day hit everyday farming families?
In this episode, Ben Law is joined again by leading agribusiness lawyer Kylie Wilson to cut through the political spin and lay out what these changes really mean for families on the land. From the extra 15% tax on balances over $3 million, to the lack of indexation, and the controversial tax on unrealised gains — this conversation gets to the heart of how the rules could reshape retirement planning, succession, and the future of family farms.
You’ll hear why “don’t panic, but get advice” is the message for now, why off-farm assets are still the ultimate superpower in succession, and how failing to plan early could force families into selling the farm when it matters most.
If you’ve ever wondered how these changes could affect your super, your succession, or your kids’ ability to take over the farm, this episode is one you can’t afford to miss.
