May 13, 2007 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- The 2007 Budget attempts to overcome a problem that arises when separating couples split their superannuation. The issue concerns capital gains tax (CGT) rollover relief, which is not available when the do-it-yourself super funds of the spouse with less super are transferred to a new fund. An Australian Taxation Office ruling confirms that CGT is payable on the super of a divorcee who transfers his or her own savings to another fund. New laws will permit a spouse who switches all of the interest out of a fund to escape paying the CGT.
