Budget 2008-09: SMSFs and In-house Assets
18.12.08
The Tax Office has also released a Draft SMSF Ruling in which it explains the Commissioner’s preliminary view on the core concepts in the definition of ‘in-house asset’.
The core concepts are ‘asset’, ‘loans’, investment in’, ‘lease’ and ‘lease arrangement’.
Broadly, the in-house asset rules prevent SMSFs from lending money to or investing in assets held by its members.
Contravention of the rules may result in an SMSF becoming non-compliant.
