cm0gbv6t3000d08l7esl31urv Accessing super from age 60 to 65

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

From 1 July 2024, the rules for accessing superannuation became somewhat simplified: the preservation age when you can begin to access your benefits is now effectively age 60. However, until you reach age 65, there are still potential restrictions on how you can access your super. If you’re aged between 60 and 65 and wish to access some of your super, now is a good time to re-examine the rules.

clwu9dexa000b08l6578sdq1v Div 7A loans: minimum repayments

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

As the end of the financial year approaches, along with the company lodgment date, now is the time for the decision-makers of private companies to ensure that arrangements are made for loans to shareholders and associates to be repaid before the company lodgment date, or alternatively, to ensure that complying loan agreements are in place. This avoids the application of Div 7A, which captures payments such as loans to shareholders and associates and treats them as unfranked dividends.

The ATO recommends that taxpayers not lodge too early, and instead wait until the end of July or later to lodge, to avoid having their returns flagged as incorrect by the system.
