SuperGuide members Q&A: June 2023
Thursday 22 June 2023 at 11:00 am AEST
In this webinar super expert Garth McNally will answer recent questions from SuperGuide members.
- Value your fund’s assets at 30 June for your annual tax return. Listed assets are valued at their closing price on 30 June. If you have real property in your SMSF, given the volatility in the real estate market over the past 12 months on the back of rising interest rates, you may want to consider an independent valuation if you feel the value has materially changed. Collectables also need an independent valuation when you are disposing of them. The ATO also says that “it may be wise” to seek an independent valuation for some other assets – such as unlisted securities and unit trusts – if the valuation of the investment is likely to be complex.
- Make sure ALL contributions for the current financial year are received by 30 June. In most cases, these amounts need to be physically received by the SMSF Trustees.
- Make sure that ALL pension payments have been paid out from the SMSF by 30 June. This requires actual payment of these amounts; they can not be accrued.
- Finalise prior year contribution splitting applications by 30 June. Concessional contributions that were made in the prior financial year and subject to a contribution splitting arrangement should be reallocated by 30 June.
