Fewer than 1% of households with multimillion-dollar super balances could struggle to pay for Labor’s additional tax on retirement balances above $3m.

New ANU research also reveals that households liable for the extra earnings levy have 12 times the wealth of other households, including an average of $3.2m outside super and the family home. They also have more than two-and-a-half times the disposable income.
