Frequency of transfer balance account reporting
With the introduction of the transfer balance cap (TBC) regime from 1 July 2017, nearly five years ago (doesn’t time fly!), SMSFs are required to report certain transfer balance account (TBA) events that occur in relation to a member’s retirement phase pension.

Transfer balance account reporting revisited
This webinar will take the opportunity to revisit the transfer balance account reporting (TBAR) regime and its requirements.

The transfer balance cap started at $1.6m, however, legislation allows for the indexation of the cap in $100,000 increments in line with the All Groups consumer price index (CPI).

However, submitting a TBAR may be a little bit different than expected in the situation where the minimum pension standards are not met and the income stream is forced to commute.
