With a number of superannuation measures still sitting in
Parliament and an upcoming election, 2022 looks set to be another
eventual year for the SMSF industry.
As 2022 kicks off, hosts Aaron Dunn and Miranda Brownlee examine
what the major changes will be for this year and what SMSF
practitioners should be paying attention to. There is still some
uncertainty around whether the legislation relating to ECPI, the
work test changes for the bring-forward rule and other
superannuation will be passed before the election. It is also
unclear whether there will be any policy surprises as we head
towards the election.
With SMSF professionals still getting to grips with new processes
around director identification numbers and SuperStream, the SMSF
industry is also expected to encounter some ongoing practical
issues. The advice space may also see a shake-up with the
government set to conduct a review into the quality of financial
planning. The government will also look to modernise documents and
payments through its consultation on improving the technology
neutrality of Treasury portfolio laws.
Aaron and Miranda discuss where all this may lead for SMSF
professionals in 2022 and how professionals can plan
ahead.
