Managing Expenses in an SMSF (correctly): The New Rules

Uncomplicating the complicated:
a guide to NALI and NALE

How the new rules for expenses in an SMSF work in practice
The ‘red flags’ and problem areas
What is and isn’t a scheme and what to do about it

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

The ATO has held off applying compliance resources to non-arm’s length expenses in superannuation funds but with the new rules imminent, that compliance holiday is over. 

The Managing Expenses in an SMSF webinar walks through the practical application of the new rules to the typical client scenarios you are likely to encounter. 

The new rules create their own set of challenges. Accountants will need to integrate the new methodologies into their work, be able to identify scenarios at risk of falling foul of the rules, and manage impacted arrangements. 

We’ll explore various structures and issues where NALI and NALE may be present and what to do about it. Plus, we’ll walk you through the latest guidance.

What we cover
