Webinar – SMSF Benefit Payments – Tips and Traps

Recent ATO statistics highlight that more and more SMSF trustees are being disqualified for illegal early access of their superannuation benefits.  Whilst the overwhelming majority of trustees and members do the right thing when it comes to withdrawing super, there are plenty of things to consider to ensure the SMSF and/or the members don’t fall foul of the rules.

·  Member benefits v death benefits
·  Taxation of benefit payments
·  What happens when it goes wrong
