CPD hours

This webinar examines the compliance framework and practical considerations when SMSFs invest via interposed entities. It reviews the superannuation obligations that commonly arise, including arm’s‑length dealings, the sole‑purpose test, in‑house asset limits (and the special considerations where the interposed entity is un‑geared), together with the income tax consequences, with particular focus on non‑arm’s‑length income (NALI).

The session translates these legal and tax principles into practical checkpoints advisers and trustees can apply when assessing and documenting such investments.

Alongside the technical rules, the webinar considers the commercial and operational risks that can flow from investing through an interposed vehicle. For example, creditor exposure, recovery challenges and the ripple effects if an underlying activity (such as a property development) fails.
