Section I: Taxation of Financial arrangements (TOFA)

Complete Section I only if the taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA) rules apply to the SMSF.

The TOFA rules apply to an SMSF only where:

  • The value of the SMSF’s assets is $100 million or more, or

  • The SMSF has elected to have the TOFA rules apply to it.

For the purposes of this test, work out the value of the SMSF’s assets at 30 June of the current income year. If the SMSF came into existence during the current income year, work out the value of its assets at 30 June of the current income year.

Once the TOFA rules apply to an SMSF, they will continue to apply to that SMSF even if later, the value of its assets falls below $100 million.

Section I comprises these labels:
