It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
re the proposal to tax SMSF earnings at 15%, can we assume the same rate will apply to the earnings in pension phase of the Industry Funds? And why would the tax on realised capital gains be higher in Pension phase than in accumulation phase (at 10%).
Also why are franking credits so much more of an issue for SMSF than the other types of funds?
Are we serious about discriminating between funds, individuals etc as to who gets the benefit of the franking credit?
