Due to the economic downturn and reduced superannuation account balances, the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, and the Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law, Senator Nick Sherry, announced relief from minimum account-based pension draw down requirements.
"This will occur through a 50 per cent reduction in the minimum payment amount for 2008–09,’ Minister Sherry said.
This is a temporary relief. ‘The Government will continue to closely monitor market conditions and examine options for a longer term solution to this issue following the Australia’s Future Tax system Review,’ the Treasurer said.
