What's brewing
SMSF and property – preparing for a smooth audit
For many SMSF trustees, property is one of the most significant assets held by their SMSF. Unlike personally owned assets, there is a legal requirement that all SMSF assets are valued each 30 June. This can be a simple process for assets that have a ready market like listed shares, however the process for other assets like property can be more onerous.
Discretionary trusts and the proposed 30% minimum tax
Discretionary trusts, often referred to as family trusts, have been a popular structure for Australian families and businesses for many decades. They are commonly used to operate family businesses, hold investments and assist with succession planning. Their flexibility, together with asset protection and estate planning benefits, has made them an attractive option for many groups.
Penalty units increase from 1 July 2026
From 1 July 2026, the value of a Commonwealth penalty unit increased from $330 to $364. While this may sound like a minor administrative change, it has a direct impact on many ATO penalties, increasing the cost of a range of compliance failures.
New reasonable travel and overtime meal rates
The ATO has released its updated reasonable travel and overtime meal allowance rates for the 2026–27 income year in Taxation Determination
TD 2026/4.
Although these figures are widely publicised each year, they are often misunderstood. A common misconception is that employees can
automatically claim a tax deduction up to the ATO's published rates, but in reality, the rules are much narrower, and applying them
incorrectly could lead to deductions being denied as well as interest and penalties.
