National Conference 2020 – Technical Paper
The number of divorces equal 40% of marriages in any year – and then there are the breakdown of de facto relationships on top of this. This Technical Paper covers the various superannuation and related tax issues that arise in relation to a family breakdown including splitting super between separating couples. SMSF advisers need to be aware of the strategies that are involved in maximising the outcome for their client and it’s not just a matter of getting a bigger dollar payout as there are tax and other drivers at play.
The Technical Paper examines:
- Key points about negotiating a Super split;
- Key rules at play eg. preservation, proportioning (tax free and taxable) and related Super rules;
- What happens when a pension is on foot and what TBC and TBAR issues arise
• CGT roll over relief – do you claim or is it better to give rise to a CGT event? and; - Practical considerations.
