Description

In this episode of the SMSF Adviser Show, hosts Keith Ford and Aaron Dunn explore some of the key developments shaping the SMSF landscape, including whether the Division 296 tax on high‑balance members could lead to a spike in wind‑ups.

They also break down how the proposed financial adviser education reforms could create a more flexible pathway and grow the number of advisers in the profession, and take a look at how bankruptcy is being treated for SMSF trustees.

Tune in to hear:

• Whether the introduction of Div 296 will drive SMSF wind-ups or if any change will be a drop in the bucket.
• How the proposed changes to education standards could improve access to SMSF advice.
• Why the Federal Court might allow an SMSF trustee to stay on despite bankruptcy.
