In 2007, the Scottish government underspent its budget by £275 million . It had to negotiate a deal with the Treasury to allow it to roll over the underspend into the next financial year.

While contribution caps are not expected to increase for the 2023/24 financial year, the ATO has confirmed the general transfer balance cap (TBC) will be indexed from 1 July 2023. This may provide some important contribution and advice opportunities for clients with large super balances.

Several of the country’s CBDs have recently witnessed an increase in office vacancies and thus falling property yields, despite the end of COVID and employees returning to the office on a hybrid work arrangement. The demise of some of these offices is the result of business tenants seeking to reduce costs as inflation and interest rates rise – and seeing reducing the amount of office space as a means to reduce their expenses.

We never expected the review of the Your Future, Your Super performance test instigated by the Minister for Financial Services Stephen Jones to recommend the significant changes necessary to make the test less costly and more effective. This would require moving the performance test from a legislative to a regulatory framework, and empowering APRA to utilise multiple metrics and a qualitative overlay.
