Downsizer Contributions – Eligibility requirements
Downsizer Contributions: Who’s Eligible and How Much Can They Contribute?
This training is recommended for all practitioners working with SMSFs
A Live Instructor Led Webinar
The Downsizer Contribution rules offer a powerful opportunity for eligible clients to boost their superannuation, but the eligibility criteria are more complex (and time-sensitive) than they seem.
In this must-attend webinar, SMSF expert Natalie Scott will break down the real-world application of the rules so you can confidently identify which clients qualify, how much they can contribute, and the key timing traps that could derail their strategy.
- How the timing of the sale and settlement of a home can affect eligibility.
- At what time is the age of the contributor important?
- Splitting proceeds from the sale of the home between spouses.
- Do proceeds have to be allocated in the same portion as ownership?
- How the 10-year ownership period is measured.
- What if a home is compulsory acquired?
- Interaction of CGT main residence exemption.
- How much of the proceeds can be used if only partial CGT exemption applies?
- How much of the proceeds can be used if only partial CGT exemption applies?
This session is your shortcut to understanding one of the most underutilised and misunderstood contribution strategies in superannuation.
