SMSF | Taxing an SMSF

OVERVIEW

This module explores a complying superannuation fund’s taxation obligations. It considers the taxation of contributions, the applicable capital gains tax (CGT) provisions, how foreign transfers are treated and ordinary income.

This module also identifies income from transactions that are not maintained on an arm’s-length basis and imposes a higher rate of tax for income that is deemed not at arm’s length. It also explores the deductions allowable for a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) both in accumulation and retirement phases.
