Grandfathering ban moves a step nearer

The Federal Government has introduced draft legislation to ban grandfathered commissions paid to financial advisers from January 2021.

The change will also force product manufacturers to rebate consumers for any grandfathered commissions that would be paid after that date.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has been ordered to monitor and report on industry behaviour in the preceding three years.

Treasury is taking submissions on the draft legislation until March 22.
