Normally the transfer balance cap is calculated using December CPI figures but inflation is still high enough to make that call now and it will rise to $2m. Question for retirees is whether to start an income stream now or wait for the new threshold.
Inflation has risen enough to indicate the general transfer balance cap will increase again at the start of the of 2026 financial year. ow.ly/io3B50SNQTN #SMSF #financialplanning #financialservices #ausbiz #accounting #superannuation #smsmagazine

Seems we are back at square one in regards to NALI with the ATO ruling it will apply to all capital gains even if part of it was gained by non-arm's length dealings. This was the argument used in regards to general expenses but was changed after 5 years of debate.
The ATO will continue to view all capital gains in an SMSF as NALI where some of it has been the result of non-arm’s-length dealings. ow.ly/BZqi50SEW8a #SMSF #financialplanning #financialservices #ausbiz #accounting #superannuation #smsmagazine

NALE - the gift that keeps giving...more headaches and less certainty. Hopefully it takes less time to fix the gaps then it did to get this bill into law.
The recently passed law to clarify the NALE rules is an improvement over the previous regime, but several issues of concern remain unaddressed. ow.ly/InAA50SuiW3 #SMSF #financialplanning #financialservices #ausbiz #accounting #superannuation #smsmagazine

While the Division 296 superannuation tax rules won't apply until 1/7/25 they may not be law at that time if an early election is called. It took 9.5 months for the NALE bill to become law & I suspect that's because the end of the financial year was looming. @SMSFassoc @smsfchick
