Super law changes to NALI and LRBA

Integrity measures included in Treasury Laws Amendment (2018 Superannuation Measures No. 1) Bill 2019 have now been enacted with an effective date of 1 July 2018. There have been amendments made to non-arm’s length income (NALI) provisions and Limited recourse borrowing arrangement (LRBA) amounts will now be included in total superannuation balance (TSB) calculations.

NALI provision amendments:
From the 2018-19 income year onwards, the ordinary or legal income of a super fund will be NALI and taxed at the top marginal rate. This has been introduced to ensure SMSFs and other complying superannuation entities cannot evade the NALI rules by entering into schemes involving non-arm’s length expenditure, including where expenses are not incurred. Any capital gains from a subsequent disposal of an asset may also be treated as NALI.

LRBA amounts included in TSB calculation:
Where an SMSF has an LBRA that was made under a contract that has been entered into on or after 1 July 2018, the calculation of an individual’s TSB will now include any outstanding LRBA amount attributable to each member’s interest. This will apply if:

If you’ve already lodged your 2019 SMSF annual return and are affected by these new measures, you may need to amend your return.
