The Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, is set to release the details of the superannuation changes foreshadowed for inclusion in the Federal Budget.

At the centre of those details will be the changes relating to a double of the contributions tax for higher income earners.

The Budget papers are expected to give further detail on the proposals impacting superannuation and, in particular, the impact of the changes on Government revenue.
