There are limited options to handle any late payments made to members of an SMSF in wind-up, requiring awareness of what is still outstanding at the time. ow.ly/rFFX50StqOb #SMSF #financialplanning #financialservices #ausbiz #accounting #superannuation #smsmagazine

While the Division 296 superannuation tax rules won't apply until 1/7/25 they may not be law at that time if an early election is called. It took 9.5 months for the NALE bill to become law & I suspect that's because the end of the financial year was looming. SMSF Association Tracey Scotchbrook

NALE - the gift that keeps giving...more headaches and less certainty. Hopefully it takes less time to fix the gaps then it did to get this bill into law.

Seems we are back at square one in regards to NALI with the ATO ruling it will apply to all capital gains even if part of it was gained by non-arm's length dealings. This was the argument used in regards to general expenses but was changed after 5 years of debate.

SMSF trustees do not need a detailed breakdown of armโ€™s-length fees for any service charged to the fund, but will need to make a reasonable attempt to determine that figure. ow.ly/g2oN50SNQWF #SMSF #financialplanning #financialservices #ausbiz #superannuation #smsmagazine

Normally the transfer balance cap is calculated using December CPI figures but inflation is still high enough to make that call now and it will rise to $2m. Question for retirees is whether to start an income stream now or wait for the new threshold.
