- Exposure draft legislation – SMSF related party transactions: ED legislation has been released proposing that certain transactions between self-managed superannuation funds and related parties must be conducted through an underlying market where one exists, or alternatively supported by valuation
- Recent cases – payment into executive share trust in substitution of bonus entitlements assessable: On appeal, the Full Federal Court has upheld a decision of the Federal Court that a payment made by the taxpayer’s employer to an executive share trust was assessable to the taxpayer as ordinary income.
