- Superfund taxation
Part one of a two-part series unpacking a broad range of superannuation and taxation requirements SMSF trustees need to contemplate when considering property development.

- The raft of regulatory issues that stem from an SMSF undertaking property development or as part of carrying on a business;
- The strict borrowing restrictions that apply;
- The issues that can arise with related party builders; and
- The importance of undertaking property development on commercial arm’s length terms irrespective of the relationship between parties.
