Coming clean with the regulator – The SMSFAdviser Show

   

In this podcast with the SMSFAdviser Show, Daniel Butler, Director of DBA Lawyers, provides tips and insights on guiding SMSF clients through the ATO’s early engagement and voluntary disclosure service.

With contraventions on the rise, big penalties that can be imposed and the ATO undertaking more reviews, Dan explains the types of circumstances where SMSF clients may want to use the ATO’s voluntary disclosure service.

Dan also discusses what SMSF clients need to do to prepare when making a voluntary disclosure and how the ATO may respond.

He further explains the kinds of proposals that might be included in a voluntary disclosure including an enforceable undertaking and advises SMSF professionals on the importance of warning clients on the potential consequences including penalties and the fund being rendered non-compliant.

Naturally, DBA Lawyers is available to represent SMSF trustees, prepare and lodge disclosures and be the key contact with the ATO in these matters.
