About this listen

The updated rules on when a pension commences and ceases have created confusion in the SMSF sector. On this week’s episode of the SMSF Adviser podcast, hosts Aaron Dunn and Keith Ford delve into the intricacies of TR2013/5 with Tim Miller, head of education and technical for Smarter SMSF.

Miller explains how the revised ruling, which was updated in June 2024, primarily reflects changes from the super reforms introduced on 1 July 2017. He provides a fresh perspective on what needs to happen when a super income stream fails to meet the pension standards for a financial year, particularly with minimum pension requirements.

Listen as they discuss:

  • How the consequences of failing to meet pension standards have become more stringent.
  • The trust law aspect of pensions.
  • The importance of understanding the minimum pension obligation and the consequences of failing to meet it.
  • The retrospective application of these rules.
  • The complexities surrounding TRIS.
  • The time frame for losing ECPI beyond the traditional 12 months.
