Superannuation remains a cornerstone of financial planning for most Australians. In this issue, we provide you with a practical to-do list to make sure that your super is working optimally for you. This to-do list includes consolidating your super, reviewing your investment strategy, checking your beneficiary nominations and insurance within your superannuation. Undertaking these tasks can significantly impact your long-term financial health and security and will be crucial for ensuring your retirement savings are working effectively for you.

Tax challenges can arise in unexpected ways, such as dealing with lost or destroyed records. We provide guidance on how to navigate missing records to ensure compliance and accuracy in your tax affairs.

In this issue we also provide the latest values for goods taken for private use, and note that lesser or greater values may be used if you provide the evidence for your valuation.

We provide insights into how you can actually have two “main residences” for Capital Gains Tax purposes – but this is a complex area and there are many conditions which must be met. Let us know if you need help with this issue.

We alert you to the ATO’s more robust approach to tax debts, the particular areas on which they are focused, and ways in which you can in certain instances restructure your debt. 

Lastly, we look at the taxation of superannuation death benefits. There is much you can do to ensure that your beneficiaries will not pay tax on your death benefits. A vital task is to ensure that your beneficiary is a “tax dependant” and we explain what this means.

We hope this edition provides you with valuable insights and practical advice.

In the November edition of the Client Newsletter we delve into the intricacies of nominating a superannuation beneficiary, examining the various types of nominations and the legal requirements they must meet.

Additionally, we tackle the complexity of tax residency in Australia. As the recent AAT case reveals, citizenship is not the sole determining factor; other elements, including double tax agreements, are pivotal to consider.

This edition also introduces you to the prospective Energy Incentive, offering a bonus tax deduction aimed at enhancing energy efficiency within your business.

Qualifying as an interdependent or financial dependant is another topic we explore, shedding light on how to ensure potential beneficiaries receive a death benefit.
