Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the role of an adviser regarding taxation of a self-managed superannuation fund and is limited by whether or not they are a registered tax agent.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply taxation requirements when advising clients/trustees in self-managed superannuation funds. It does not encompass taxation planning but does encompass identifying and providing explanation of self-managed superannuation fund taxation requirements, with specific relation to investment product decisions within the fund.
Importantly, this unit is not about the provision of taxation planning advice. Instead it is limited to advising on the potential taxation implications of particular products being considered for the fund.
This unit is applicable to individuals working within enterprises and job roles subject to licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements including legislation administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
