TRUSTEES OF SELF MANAGED SUPERANNUATION FUNDS NEED TO BE READY FOR THE NEW RULES REGARDING COLLECTIBLES FROM 1 JULY 2016



Collectible assets need to be held for the sole purpose of providing retirement benefits and not personal enjoyment in the current day environment.

The website link below from the ATO goes into more detail regarding holding collectibles such as artwork, antiques, coins, motor vehicles, jewellery and other collectibles.

The new rules focus on requirements regarding usage, storage, insurance, selling, leasing and valuations.
