The ATO is stepping up its compliance activity around the Alcohol Manufacturers Remission Scheme, following concerns that some operators are exploiting the scheme to produce excise-free alcohol for the illicit market.

The scheme provides eligible alcohol manufacturers with an automatic remission of excise, designed to support legitimate Australian producers. The ATO has now announced greater scrutiny of new licence applications and businesses in their first two years of operation, building on measures introduced in July.

For legitimate breweries, distilleries and other alcohol manufacturers, the message is simple: make sure your eligibility, records and excise reporting are in order.

Eligibility requirements include holding the appropriate manufacturer licence, meeting manufacturing requirements and being legally and economically independent from other manufacturers accessing the scheme.

Did you know? Australia now has the fourth largest pension system in the world.

Australia's superannuation system has grown to over $4.4 trillion, making it the fourth largest pension market globally, behind only the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. It's also one of the fastest-growing retirement systems in the world, with forecasts suggesting it could become the second largest by 2031.

For Australians, this highlights just how important superannuation has become in building long-term wealth. For many people, their super will be one of their largest assets in retirement.

That's why it's worth taking the time to review:
✅ Whether your investment strategy still suits your goals
✅ If you're making the most of contribution opportunities
✅ Whether your insurance and beneficiaries are up to date
✅ How your super fits into your broader retirement and estate planning

Small changes today can make a significant difference over the long term.
