From the 2021-22 income year an SMSF may have a choice of how to calculate and claim exempt current pension income (ECPI). However, this will depend on a number of questions:
- Did the SMSF pay retirement phase pensions?
- Does the SMSF have a period of deemed segregation?
- Does the SMSF have disregarded small fund assets?
- Has the SMSF trustee segregated assets between retirement phase and non-retirement phase interests?
- Are any of the pensions defined benefit pensions?
Once it is determined that an SMSF has a choice of calculating and claiming ECPI, the next steps are: determining what those choices are; the implications of making one choice or the other and how to implement the choice made.
In this joint webinar with SuperConcepts we will review the ECPI choice rules and the implications of each choice. We will also show how to perform a comparative analysis of the choices using both our Accurium actuarial portal and SuperConcept’s SMSF administration platform, SuperMate.
