I quote "It is probably an unintended Budget consequence, but there is a high likelihood of a meaningful reduction to the tax base as many older and professionally advised Australians take advantage of the intergenerational opportunities in SMSFs to reduce the overall tax payable by themselves and their families."

You have to hire a tax geek to figure out the best way to lower you tax rate down to 15% or zero in your example? Doesn't this simply show that a flat tax no duductions would be a superior and less costl way of dealing with things. The system is a joke and this shows it up.
