Division 296 represents another significant change to the superannuation regime. In this session our speakers explored:
- What is Division 296?
- How does it apply? When does it apply? What are realised earnings?
- What are the transitional measures?
- How does Division 296 apply in the context of a member death?
- How is the total superannuation balance calculated? What are the cost base calculations and adjustments to be undertaken?
- What are the planning opportunities which can arise for advisers in preparing for Division 296? Can clients undertake contributions/withdrawals, valuations, asset transfers, other restructuring opportunities?
- Is the client better off with investing their monies in a different structure outside of superannuation?
- Practical case study and scenario analysis to present the modelling of taxation outcomes under Division 296 and where those monies are held outside of superannuation.
