Super fund would lose $50k in credits

QMy wife and I have a selfmanaged super fund that stands to lose about $50,000 in franking credits should modified tax rules be imposed if a Labor government is elected. What alternatives do I have to maintain my income?

Many of us are in the same boat, Thomas. Personally, I am going to wait to see the detail and timing if we get a change of government. Like you, I don’t want to see any excess franking credits that are in my super fund go to waste.

A change in strategy has to wait until we know the exact details, but I suspect many people will look at their assets inside and outside super and plan accordingly. While I hate shuffling my investments due to changing tax rules, it may be necessary.

If we do get a Labor government, Money will analyse the rule changes and provide potential solutions.
