Division 296 is changing the way high super balances are taxed from 1 July 2026.

If your super balance is approaching or above $3 million, now is the time to understand what this means for you and put a plan in place before 30 June 2026.

Because Division 296 sits between tax and financial planning, having the right advice matters. At Advisory Partner, our accountants and financial planners work together under one roof to help you make confident decisions with clarity.

Get in touch with your Advisory Partner Accountant or Client Manager, or book with our Financial Planning Team to find out where you stand.

For many business owners, the EOFY becomes about asking "what can we still do before June 30?" But by then, most of the meaningful options have already passed.

We've seen simple strategies make a real difference when there's time to plan. One client, who had a higher-than-expected income year, made a $20,000 super contribution before year-end and saved around $6,400 in tax, while also strengthening their longer-term position.

If you haven't checked in on where your numbers are sitting yet, now's a good time.

We put together a short read on where we see the biggest impact for clients heading into EOFY.
