Federal Budget 2022-23 | March: Superannuation

The Government has broadly left the superannuation system unchanged, with a minor extension to the minimum drawdown percentage to 30 June 2023.

The Government confirmed that it will continue with the 50% minimum pension drawdown reduction for account-based superannuation pensions, extending the measure for a further year to 30 June 2023. This measure is intended to minimise the forced sale of investments to pay pensions, due to the ongoing volatility in investment markets.

The table below details the reduced minimum drawdown requirements for the 2023 income year.
