In this week’s edition of ‘It depends’, associate Sacha Robinson talks about whether duty is payable in a transfer of shares in a private company.
In the 2017 Budget, the government announced that the concept of ‘non-arm’s length income’ (NALI) for SMSFs was to expand to specifically include where an SMSF expense was not incurred, or less than would have been incurred had the parties been dealing on an arm’s length basis (NALE) – see for further information:
Section 65 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act) prohibits the trustee of an SMSF making a loan to a member or a relative, or providing other financial assistance using the resources of the SMSF. Section 62 contains the sole purpose test and requires the SMSF to be maintained for particular purposes.
Income that is NALI is taxed to the SMSF at the top marginal tax rate rather than the usual concessional rates, so having additional amounts deemed to be NALI can result in a significant increase in tax for an SMSF.
