Sneaky new Super Tax.

If your SMSF invests into managed funds and ETFs, this change to the treatment of losses in managed investment trust will impact the tax your SMSF pays.

Under the draft rules, the managed fund is forced to use its losses in a less flexible way, and the SMSF is stuck with the result — so some gains that used to be taxed at an effective 10% in accumulation can instead be taxed at the full 15%.

This is the National Press Club address from the assistant treasurer Daniel Mulino which happened last week we’re here announced a whole lot of proposed changes to how you set up and operate an .

I’ve added my commentary in to put things in context and to call them out on the things that don’t add up!

A frog placed in lukewarm water that is slowly heated to a boil.
The frog fails to notice the gradual danger, stays in the pot, and dies, serving as a warning about ignoring slow, creeping threats.

With yesterday's National Press Club speech from Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino, it is very clear that SMSFs are the frog.

At first glance, the announced changes impacting SMSFs appear 'reasonable' and 'proportional' and for 'consumer protection'.

But, in my opinion, it is a series of steps on a slippery slope of Government interference in OUR super money and restricting choice and control.

The change to ban SMSFs from using limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBAs aka SMSF loans aka bare trust purchase) for residential property are now law.

This means the cut-off date to enter a contract to purchase a residential property (using a bare trust + SMSF loan/LRBA) is 10 August 2026 being 45 days after the law obtains royal ascent (which happened 26/06/2026). Settlement can happen after.

How fast this has moved is ridiculous. We have never seen anything like it in 20+ years working with SMSF investors.

The government has agreed to ban SMSF borrowing for residential property as part of a deal with the Greens. Here's what it means, who is affected, and your alternatives.

The ban on residential property LRBAs landed in 2026 and shut the door on the strategy most SMSF trustees had in mind when they googled “borrow inside my super”. No more using a limited recourse borrowing arrangement to buy a house, unit, or apartment inside your fund.

There is, however, one property strategy where LRBA borrowing remains completely intact — and it is arguably more powerful than anything residential ever was.

Your can still borrow to buy commercial property, provided that property qualifies as business real property under s.66 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act).

An SMSF commercial property loan structured as an LRBA is legal, lender-ready, and — if you are a business owner — one of the smartest wealth-building moves available to you.

The change to remove SMSFs ability to borrow for residential property investment passed the Senate yesterday (25/06/2026) meaning we're on track for a mid-August cut-off for new contracts to be entered into.
