Non-arm’s length income – the important changes, must know issues and key strategies paper

Published on 24 Nov 22 by NATIONAL DIVISION, THE TAX INSTITUTE

The ATO has adopted an extremely broad view on what is NALI. There is also the potential for certain amounts to be both NALI and a contribution. The ATO are still consulting on the difference between what might be NALI versus a contribution. There is now currently considerable uncertainty on many common place strategies which we will seek to clarify. This paper provides an overview of:

  • NALI/NALE – the key risks and latest developments
  • NALE with specific expense versus general expense nexus
  • What can a trustee do without invoking NALI
  • The ATO’s latest views on what is a contribution versus NALI (consultation draft ruling TR 2010/1-DC)
  • SMSF purchase 50% of business real property from a related party and the related party contributes the remaining 50%
  • What documentation is required to minimise risk.
