4. What ways can a SMSF invest in property?

5. Strategy 1 – Buy outright A SMSF can acquire either residential or commercial property. This can be outright within the fund or as tenants in common. Think about trustee structure Appropriate ownership on title Owning property inside super Individual MTR vs. Super Tax Rate (15%) Pension Phase (0%) Personal tax deductions (building allowance) • Capital growth Pension Phase (0%) Can acquire BRP from a related party Business Real Property (commercial) Potential use of Small Business Concessions to reduce or eliminate CGT Some states have stamp duty exemptions/concessions available Cannot transfer residential property into a SMSF SMSF should be in existence prior to acquisition

6. Can and can’t do’s…

7. Strategy 2 – Ungeared Unit Trust A SMSF can acquire units in an ungeared unit trust to acquire residential or commercial property. This strategy is commonly used where a SMSF has insufficient capital to acquire an asset and includes other unit holders (i.e. individual). Looking to acquire land to develop • subdivision Business Real Property can use to acquire own business premises transfer units across to SMSF over time Does allow for the transfer units to SMSF with residential property • must meet strict requirements outlined within SISR 13.22C Common arrangement for development

8. Example (3). Unit trust acquires property with $600,000 of subscribed capital Unit Trust (Ungeared) Tenant (inc. related party) (1). SMSF applies for #300,000 @ $1.00 units = $300,000 (4). Lease agreement between Unit Trust and tenant (can be related party for commercial property) (2). John & Jane redraw against own home (investment loan) and apply for #300,000 @ $1.00 units = $300,000 (5). Distribution paid to unit holders SMSF (6). Repayments made back against redrawn equity Employer

9. Key Requirements SISR 13.22C (ungeared unit trust) Fund must have < 5 members (SMSF or SAF); and Asset cannot be leased to a related party unless it is business real property (BRP); and Lease agreement must be legally binding with a related party; and The trust does not have outstanding borrowings; and The Assets of the Trust do not include either: An interest in another entity; or A loan to another entity, unless it is a deposit with an ADI; or An asset in which there is a charge; or An asset acquired from a related party after 11/08/99 unless BRP An asset that was owned by a related party since the later of 11/08/99 or 3 years before the date in which it was acquired

10. Strategy 3 – Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements A SMSF can now borrow to acquire property using an SMSF Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA). This strategy allows for individuals to leverage inside superannuation and use income and contributions to service the debt, plus obtain tax concessions ordinarily available within super. Section 67A (SIS Act) The borrowings must be for the acquisition of a single acquirable asset Can include expenses in connection with the borrowing The asset must be held on trust Asset is held on trust so that RSF Trustee acquires a beneficial interestin the acquirable asset Rights of the lender or any other person are limitedto the rights relating to the acquirable asset When the borrowing is fully repaid, the Fund has the rightrelating to the acquirable asset to become an asset of the SMSF Section 67B – Replacement Asset

11. How does it work Personal guarantee Bare Trust

12. What can the bare trust hold in custody for the SMSF? Custodian (Bare) Trust Custodian (Bare) Trust Custodian (Bare) Trust Custodian (Bare) Trust The Custodian can only hold a ‘single’ asset or collection of assets in the same way that they apply to a single asset (e.g. #1000 BHP shares)

13. Gearing in Super – Lender Options Superannuation law allows for a SMSF to borrow money from any lender (including you), as long as the loan is on ‘commercial terms’. SMSF Bank loans Mainstream product from lending institutions Residential LVRs up to 80% Commercial LVRs up to 70% Borrowing must be for the acquisition of a single asset Banks will not lend on land Will almost always require a personal guarantee

15. Example (6). Rent paid to SMSF as beneficial owner of property SMSF (2). SMSF borrows money from related party on arms-length basis (1). Individual redraws on equity in own home to provide a loan to his SMSF (7). Repayments made by SMSF back to lender (principal and/or interest) – subject to terms of loan (5). Lease agreement between SMSF and tenant (can be related party for commercial property) Custodial Trust (Bare Trust) Lender to SMSF Tenant (inc. related party) (3). SMSF acquires property in name of Custodial Trustee using an SMSF LRBA (4). Lender’s rights in the event of default are limited to the property only. (8). Lender makes repayments back to own bank where money originally drawn.
