TAXATION LAWS AMENDMENT (SUPERANNUATION CONTRIBUTIONS) BILL 2000
Public Hearing
Monday 27 November 2000
On Monday 27 November, in Canberra, the Senate Select Committee on Superannuation
and Financial Services will be holding a public hearing into the provisions
of the Taxation Laws Amendment (Superannuation Contributions) Bill 2000.
The Bill will amend the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, the Income
Tax Assessment Act 1997 and the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment
Act 1986, in order to clarify the definition of ‘eligible employee’,
to deny deductions for employer superannuation contributions knowingly
made to non-complying superannuation funds, and to ensure that only contributions
made on behalf of an employee are excluded from fringe benefits tax.
In referring the Bill to the Committee for inquiry and report, the Selection
of Bills Committee determined that the principal issue for consideration
is the use of offshore superannuation schemes for tax evasion.
The Committee will be taking evidence from some groups and individuals
involved in the superannuation industry and taxation planners, as well
as officials from the Australian Taxation Office.
The draft program for the hearing is attached.
