Go-To Guide – Transfer Balance Account Reporting (TBAR)

  • Go-To Guide
  • Income streams, Setup and management

The SMSF Association has compiled a new Go-To Guide on TBAR (Transfer Balance Account Reporting) to ensure you are confident in your understanding of the Transfer Balance Cap and event-based reporting framework.

Reporting requirements commence for all SMSFs on or before 1 July 2018 where an individual has a retirement phase income stream at 30 June 2017 that continues to be paid to an individual on or after 1 July 2017.

As event-based reporting is a significant shift in SMSF administration processes, it is essential SMSF Specialists, administrators and advisors understand the event-based reporting framework and get it right.

Go-To Guides are comprehensive technical documents which contain practical guidance, an interactive checklist, detailed case studies and a white label document that can assist you in communicating with your clients on how event-based reporting may affect them and their SMSF.
