Company and super fund tax now due

Payment is now due for 2016 income tax returns for companies and super funds. Assessment letters are no longer issued to these taxpayers by the Australian Tax Office.   As we may have lodged your return some months ago you may have forgotten about your obligation. If you are uncertain, please contact us for details.

Changes to Super

From July 1, there will be changes to superannuation which will affect many people. One of those changes is the transfer balance cap. This means there will now be a limit on the amount of super you can transfer and hold in tax-free retirement phase accounts. Initially, the cap has been set at $1.6 million so if you already receive a pension or annuity, you will need to make sure it is under this amount. If you don’t, you may have to pay excess transfer balance tax and be required to reduce your balance.
