Episode Synopsis

In this episode of SMSF Insider, host Troy, founder of Blue Chip SMSF Services, discusses the recent reversal of the unrealized capital gains tax announced by Jim Chalmers. Initially, super funds with assets exceeding $3 million were set to be taxed on amounts over that threshold regardless of whether the assets had been sold. However, due to significant backlash against taxing retirees on unsold assets, the decision has been overturned. Troy emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes for those managing self-managed super funds and provides insights into how to navigate these new developments.
