Book Description

AUSTRALIAN SUPERANNUATION HANDBOOK 2009-10: Including all amendments as at 1 July 2009, the Australian Superannuation Handbook 2009-10 is an ideal companion for financial planners, accountants, auditors, lawyers, superannuation trustees, fund administrators, and other participants in the superannuation and financial services industry. With superannuation becoming a primary investment vehicle for individuals attracted by its concessional tax status, advisers of all descriptions must have a working knowledge of superannuation law. Arranged into chapters that track the superannuation lifecycle in a modern context, the handbook enables the easy location of relevant issues for individuals (and their advisers) looking to comply with their legal obligations. AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL PLANNING HANDBOOK 2009-10: Written in plain English, the Australian Financial Planning Handbook covers all key aspects of financial planning: superannuation, compliance, finance and investing, estates, taxation planning, retirement planning, social security, risk insurance, salary packaging and executive remuneration, family law requirements and small business issues. The Handbook contains around 1,000 case studies, checklists, examples, practical tips and warnings of traps to avoid for financial planners, and takes into account changes coming out of the 2009 Budget, including social security and superannuation changes.
