Division 296 Frequently Asked Questions
Who does Division 296 affect?
Division 296 only applies to people whose total superannuation balance is over $3 million at the end of the financial year. If you take money out before that date and bring your balance below the threshold, the tax won’t apply.
However, depending on your situation, you may still be taxed on withdrawing funds from your superannuation. You should seek professional financial advice before making decisions.
What are unrealised gains?
An unrealised gain is an increase in the value of an asset or investment that an investor holds, which has not yet been sold. For example, if an individual owns a property in their superannuation fund which they purchased for $1 million, and the next financial year it is valued at $1.1 million, even though the asset has not been sold, they will pay tax on the unrealised gain of $100,000.
Under Division 296, unrealised gains can be taxed if your TSB is over $3 million.
Should I take money out of my super if my balance is over $3 million?
Not necessarily. Withdrawing could trigger other taxes, like capital gains tax (CGT), and may affect your financial situation. It’s important to get professional financial advice before making decisions.
How do I pay this tax?
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will send you an official assessment once it receives your tax return and contribution information from your super fund. You can pay the tax personally or request money from your super fund to cover it.
What counts as my super balance?
Similar to the existing super balance definition, but with some changes. For example, certain outstanding loan amounts linked to your super (LRBAs) might not be included.
What about defined benefit pensions?
If you have a defined benefit pension, its value will be counted towards your super balance. Special rules apply, and any tax might be deferred in some cases.
What if my super balance goes down?
If your super has negative growth (loses value), the loss can generally be carried forward and offset future earnings. This can help to reduce future tax payments.
Will the $3 million threshold increase over time?
No, the Government does not currently plan to index the tax or adjust it for inflation. Assuming the economy continues to inflate over time, it's likely that Division 296 will apply to more and more Australians.
What if I’m about to make a big profit inside my super?
Large capital gains inside super need careful tax planning. Division 296 applies each year to any unrealised gains, but super funds can still offer tax advantages when selling assets.
Are some people excluded from Division 296 Tax?
Yes. For example, child pension recipients and people who have received structured settlement contributions won’t be taxed under Division 296. Some special funds are also treated differently.
When do I need to make my first tax payment?
The tax will first be due in the 2026/27 financial year after the ATO reviews superannuation earnings from the 2025/26 financial year. If you are in a self-managed super fund (SMSF), the tax assessment will happen after your fund submits its return.
Does Division 296 apply to self-managed super funds?
Yes, Division 296 tax liabilities apply to SMSFs. Some differences may apply for SMSFs compared to public fund members due to variations in how the funds are set up.
For example, public fund members may request money from their fund to cover this tax. SMSFs are entirely responsible for their own tax obligations.
While there are a few differences to keep in mind, Division 296 tax liabilities are broadly similar for SMSFs and public fund members.
