Treasurer Scott Morrison is reportedly considering a further tweak of the planned changes to superannuation tax concessions as the government seeks to appease some of its backbenchers.

Plans to limit lifetime non-concessional superannuation contributions to $500,000 could be lifted to $750,000 or the cap made prospective instead of applying from 2007, the Australian Financial Review said on Friday.

Cabinet minister Josh Frydenberg wouldn't confirm the report, but told ABC radio: "Scott Morrison is consulting with colleagues and with industry on the implementation".
