Technical Summit 2021
Treasury released draft legislation to implement the Government’s two proposed measures from the 2019-20 budget with the goal to minimise the complexity of the current rules and reduce costs for SMSFs. A consultation period on the draft legislation is open until 18 June 2021. So, what’s the verdict – does the draft legislation achieve the goals or is there potential for additional complexity and administrative cost?
In this session there will be a focus on the draft legislation, including:
- Which SMSFs will be eligible for ‘trustee choice’ for claiming ECPI;
- How ‘trustee choice’ will work for SMSFs claiming ECPI;
- A case study to illustrate how ‘trustee’ choice may affect an SMSF’s claim for ECPI, and;
- Practice considerations to enable implementation of the new ECPI rules.
The session will also consider:
- The implications of an SMSF not complying with the SIS pension standards, and;
- Legacy pension conversion measure announced in this year’s Federal Budget.
At the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Explain the new ECPI choice rules for an SMSF;
- Identify which SMSFs will be eligible for trustee choice when claiming ECPI;
- Compare the different methods for an SMSF claiming ECPI;
- Assess the implications of an SMSF failing to meet the SIS pension standards, and;
- Evaluate the options for dealing with a legacy pension within an SMSF.
