Federal Budget and superannuation

The federal budget is presented by the federal government each year, typically on the second Tuesday in May. The budget profiles the current government’s social and political priorities, and presents Australia’s economic outlook for the coming years.

The 2021 Federal Budget was announced by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Tuesday, 11 May 2021. For an overview of the superannuation, tax and retirement related announcements see SuperGuide’s 2021 Federal Budget overview.

Set out below are the latest articles that relate to federal budget and superannuation.
