The Strategy Stacker - Luke Talks Money

Luke on 2CC – The difference between deductible and non deductible super contributions


Listen Later

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 19 May 2025. The topic for this week is: What is the difference between deductible and non deductible super contributions. Luke and Leon however start the show by talking about the principle of taxing unrealised capital gains which may be coming to superannuation in the not to distant future. Could it leak into other kinds of investments and what would the consequences be? Would you have to sell an investment to pay a tax bill? Luke believes this isn’t the right approach to tax and could have lots of unintended consequences if the principle was to be extended of taxing unrealised capital gains.
