Less tax is paid on super savings than other forms of income. But if we want a fair and sustainable superannuation system, reform to super tax breaks is essential.

On a recent podcast, Grattan addressed the question of super tax breaks for balances with over $3 million. But reforming super is a much broader task, that if successful, will result in a fairer system which could repair the budget by billions.

Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, and Joey Moloney, Senior Associate, discuss their new report on superannuation reform with host Kat Clay.
