Why compliance and technical go hand-in-hand

Technical Summit 2023

In this workshop, Mark Ellem presents case studies for attendees to consider technical issues that can arise during the preparation of annual financial statements. The case studies address the following technical issues:

  • Case study 1: An SMSF receives insurance proceeds in respect of a member. We consider the taxation and superannuation compliance requirements and issues.
  • Case study 2: Should an SMSF adopt tax effect accounting? How does this affect an SMSF member’s entitlement to concessions and caps? How can it be implemented simply
  • Case study 3: Distributions for related trusts and what happens if an SMSF is paid more than what they are entitled to.
  • Case study 4: Dealing with capital gains in an SMSF and treatment where the asset sold had its costs base reset in 2016-17.
  • Case study 5: Exempt current pension income. Reviewing the options for an SMSF claiming ECPI we will look at a number of different scenarios
