My Partners Income is Reducing My Age Pension
Gino from Beckingham writes " My partner and I live together but keep separate finances. I am 68 and retired whilst my partner is 65 and still working full time. The age pension I receive is greatly reduced because of my partners income. This seems unfair because we keep separate finances and I don't benefit from my partners income. Is there anything I can do?"
Using delisted.com.au to get a tax loss
Bruce from Mount Hawthorne writes. “Years ago I invested $20,000 into a speccy mining stock that went nowhere. It’s no longer trading on the ASX. I’d like to use this loss to offset a capital gain I have made from an investment property this year. My accountant says I can’t do this as the company hasn’t been fully wound down. Is there anything I can do?"

I have read that the Government is imposing a extra tax on super funds above $3M. Can you please provide some more information on this?”
