What do superannuation funds, including the many thousands of self-managed funds, have to do to implement the GST and the new tax system? A comprehensive ASFA (Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia) Seminar in Sydney tomorrow 4 May will provide the answers. During this major series of Seminars across Australia on The New Tax System and Superannuation, ASFA's panel of super and tax experts – including local presenters – will guide participants from go to 'whoa' through the new tax system as it affects super funds. ASFA presenter and Principal Researcher Ross Clare said, "Implementing the new tax regime will be demanding and time consuming for most industries, but it will be particularly difficult for the superannuation industry. Super funds need to know what to do and how to exercise the best available options to maximise retirement savings of Australians." The seminars will build on an earlier ASFA workshop series on the GST but have been designed to provide much more detail and step-by-step guidance, particularly in the light of recent ATO rulings and capital gains and other tax legislation. "The New Tax System and Superannuation Roadshow is a demonstration of ASFA's commitment to assisting funds, particularly small and medium funds who may need help to come to grips with the GST," said Mr Clare. The ASFA Roadshow will also visit Adelaide on 1 May; Perth 2 May; Brisbane 8 May; Canberra 9 May; Melbourne 10 May and Hobart 16 May. Sydney attendees have a choice of two identical sessions. "GST, PAYG and CGT – What Funds Need to Do" will be held at 8.30 for 9.00 am AND 1.00 for 1.30 pm on Thursday 4 May at the Sheraton on the Park, Sydney.
