25.01.2022 Superannuation Death Benefit Limitations As an SMSF trustee, you need to take special care when paying death benefits as you are responsible for ensuring that the payment rules are met. Strict rules apply, affecting who can receive a death benefit, the form in which the death benefit can be paid and the timing of such payment.

24.01.2022 The NSW Government has announced an increase to the reward for information into the disappearance of a Redfern man more than 15 years ago. Simon Knight was 32 w...hen he was last seen at a hotel on Crown Street, Surry Hills, on the morning of Thursday 21 July 2005. When Mr Knight, a chef, did not arrive for his shift at a café in Newtown later that day, he was reported missing to police. Despite extensive investigations at the time, and over the years, Simon has never been found. A coronial inquest conducted in 2008 found that it was unlikely that Mr Knight had died but he has not been seen since and a body has never been located. A reward of $100,000 was announced at the time. Detectives from South Sydney Police Area Command are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Mr Knight’s disappearance under Strike Force Glenlea. To assist with ongoing inquiries, the NSW Government announced the reward for information has been increased to $250,000 from today (Friday 6 November 2020). Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, said he hopes the $250,000 reward will be the catalyst for someone to provide the information that helps solve the case. No parent should live with the pain of not knowing if their child is safe, or where they are, or what harm might have come their way, Minister Elliott said. I implore you to contact the police if you have any information, no matter how insignificant, that could help solve the case of Mr Knight’s disappearance. South Sydney Police Area Commander, Superintendent Andrew Holland, said that investigators are seeking any information from the community that may lead them to answers about Simon’s disappearance. We believe there are people in the community who have vital information about Mr Knight’s movements on the day he was last seen, and possibly, his whereabouts; information that could help us solve this case, Supt Holland said. At this time, we are keen to speak with anyone who lived or frequented Crown and Oxford streets, Surry Hills, in July 2005, particularly if they knew Simon and have not yet spoken to police. Please cast your mind back and try to recall if you saw this young man around the area even a small piece of information about Simon’s movements could make a big difference to this investigation. At the time of his disappearance, Simon was described as being of Caucasian appearance, 183cm tall, with blue eyes, a fair complexion, red hair and facial hair. When he was last seen, it is believed he was wearing a dark green T-shirt and blue jeans. As the investigation continues, Simon’s parents, Robyn Conlan and Bob Knight, are hopeful for answers. Our son has been missing for over 15 years and his father, sister, brother and I need to know what happened to him, said Robyn. Of course, we are extremely grateful for this opportunity to hopefully find out once and for all what occurred all those years ago, she said. Although it is now more than 15 years since Simon disappeared, we are very grateful to the police for their assistance and the work they have done in relation to the reward increase, said Bob. Both Supt Holland, and Det Sen Cst Mabberley, have been very helpful and, like us, are hoping that new information will come to light so we can find out what happened to our son Simon. The $250,000 reward is available for information leading to the discovery of Simon Knight’s whereabouts or disclosing the circumstances of his disappearance. Anyone with information about Mr Knight’s disappearance is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information is treated in strict confidence. The community is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.

23.01.2022 When did you last review your SMSF’s investment strategy? You may be aware that the Australian Tax Office (ATO) has issued letters to nearly 18,000 SMSF trustees as part of a campaign to ensure trustees are aware of their investment obligations. Of key concern is ensuring that trustees have considered diversification and liquidity of their assets when formulating and executing their fund’s investment strategy....Continue reading

23.01.2022 Superannuation death benefits review succession plans. Regardless of the size of your superannuation benefits, it is vital that you sort out your estate plans to ensure that you have a well prepared estate plan so that the right assets go to the right beneficiaries. You need to make sure that you get holistic estate planning advice and have arrangements in place to review your estate plans regularly. Estate plans are not to be set and forgotten.

23.01.2022 COVID-19 Accessing your superannuation early You may be aware that the Government recently announced measures which allow individuals affected by the economic impacts of COVID-19 to access a limited amount of their superannuation early. Making the decision to access your superannuation early is a significant one and if possible, should be encompassed by financial advice.... The Australian Taxation Office have now released guidance on the process for accessing superannuation early from SMSFs to assist in cushioning the adverse economic effects of Coronavirus. https://foxtonfinancial.com.au/covid-19-accessing-your-sup/

22.01.2022 The economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis are causing significant financial distress for many businesses and individuals. If your SMSF has a property and a tenant in financial distress, you may be able to provide your tenant with rental relief under an agreed commercial arrangement. This may even be the case when the tenant is a related party or yourself. Ordinarily, charging a tenant a price that is less than market value in an SMSF is usually a breach of superannuation la...ws. However, the ATO have provided guidance which allows SMSF landlords to provide for a reduction in or waiver of rent because of the financial impacts of the COVID-19. For the 201920 and 202021 financial years, the ATO will not take action where an SMSF gives a tenant who may also be a related party a temporary rent reduction during this period. https://foxtonfinancial.com.au/covid-19-providing-rental-r/

22.01.2022 Is your SMSF adequately diversified? SMSF trustees need to truly understand diversification and better diversify their portfolios. The benefits of a well-diversified portfolio are numerous but the key ones that SMSF trustees should focus on are the benefits of mitigating volatility and short-term downside investment risks, preserving capital and the long-run benefits of higher overall returns. By spreading an SMSF’s investments across different asset classes and markets offer...ing different risks and returns, SMSFs can better position themselves for a secure retirement. However, did you know that 82% of SMSF trustees believe that diversification is important but in practice many do not achieve it? https://foxtonfinancial.com.au/is-your-smsf-adequately-div/
