In this episode of the SMSF Adviser podcast, hosts Keith Ford and Aaron Dunn dissect the draft Division 296 legislation with SMSF Association CEO Peter Burgess, including the fresh challenges around equity, complexity and “system neutrality” between SMSFs and large APRA funds.
Breaking down the association’s submission to the draft legislation consultation, Burgess stresses that while the sector “won the battle” on unrealised gains, the new fight is ensuring that realised earnings allocated to in‑scope members are fair and transparent, especially given the different calculation methods across fund types.
Tune in to hear:
- Why the TSB integrity measure is a red flag for the SMSFA.
- How the issues that remain in the draft legislation can be fixed.
- When to expect the bill to enter Parliament.
