01:24 [SMSF Members are leaving Australia – What do we do?]
The consequences of becoming a non-resident SMSF are extremely severe. First, you pay 47% on the accumulated concessional component in the fund upon becoming non-resident. Then, you pay another 15% when you become a resident fund. Whilst you are non-resident you still pay 47% tax on your fund earnings and as you are still a regulated fund you still need to comply with the requirements of the SIS Act. Worse still, the ATO has no discretion to state that you are not a non-resident fund.
In this scenario, Peter will offer up his ONLY solution that he offers his clients that state they are leaving to go overseas.
