This paper was presented at the SMSF Association National Conference on February 14 2018 by Tim Miller of Miller Super Solutions.
1 July 2017 marked the most significant changes to the taxation of superannuation since the 2007 superannuation reform. The introduction of the Transfer Balance Cap has resulted in a number of changes to how pensions, and in particular transition to retirement income streams (TRIS) can be operated within a Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF).
The paper focuses on TRIS and identifies the key differences pre and post 1 July 2017 whilst reaffirming many of the important definitions linked to paying a pension, some of which have changed as a result of super reform.
The paper assumes the reader has an understanding of the Transfer Balance Cap and when amounts are credited and debited to and from an individual’s transfer balance account, it also assumes an understanding of the concept of the Total Superannuation Balance.
