Thinking about setting up an SMSF to purchase residential property under an LRBA?

Time may be more limited than you think.

With upcoming legislative changes affecting new Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs), it is important to understand that establishing an SMSF is not an overnight process.

From ATO registrations and trustee structures to bare trusts and lender requirements, there are several important steps that need to be completed before an LRBA can proceed. Planning ahead is essential if you are considering this strategy.

Our latest blog covers:
- The upcoming LRBA changes
- Typical SMSF establishment timeframes
- The key requirements before entering an LRBA
- Why early planning is so important

We are pleased to invite you to our July webinar, "Dealing with the Death of an SMSF Member."

When an SMSF member passes away, there are both taxation and SIS compliance considerations to contemplate. Not only is the fund required to pay out the deceased's balance in a timely manner, but it is also required to maintain its complying status, which amongst other things means satisfying the definition of an SMSF under s17A of the SIS Act. There is a lot to consider for any surviving trustees and/or the deceased's legal personal representative.

In this webinar, Tim Miller from Smarter SMSF looks at all the issues a member should consider whilst they are alive as well as all the requirements a fund will face once the member has passed away. Amongst the matters to be highlighted will be compulsory cashing requirements, the various forms of nominating beneficiaries, the role of the legal personal representative as well as any additional reporting or processing obligations. The session will also highlight a number of key issues taken from a long line of legal cases that will help ensure your clients don't become one of those cases.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this webinar, participants will have an appreciation for:

- All the critical steps that must be followed when a member passes away.

- What role the legal personal representative of a member plays when the member passes away.

- The key timing and tax considerations of paying death benefits.

- Whether the documentation held by the fund helps or hinders the process.

The countdown to 30 June is on.

Planning to make SMSF contributions before EOFY? Don't leave it too late!

Remember, contributions generally count in the financial year they hit the SMSF's bank account, not when they're initiated. If you're using a clearing house for employer contributions, processing times can vary and may impact when funds are received.

A little forward planning now can help avoid unwanted surprises at year-end.

At SuperGuardian, every client is supported by a Client Manager throughout the year, helping keep key deadlines, contributions, and compliance obligations on track, so nothing is left to the last minute.
