Section I: Taxation of financial arrangements (item 17)

Complete Section I only if the taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA) rules apply to the SMSF.

The TOFA rules apply to an SMSF only where:

• the value of the SMSF’s assets is $100 million or more, or
• the SMSF has elected to have the TOFA rules apply to it.

For the purposes of this test, work out the value of the SMSF’s assets at 30 June 2014. If the SMSF came into existence during 2014-15, work out the value of its assets at 30 June 2015.

Once the TOFA rules apply to an SMSF, they will continue to apply to that SMSF even if later, the value of its assets falls below $100 million.

Do the TOFA rules apply to the SMSF?

No	Leave Section I blank. Go to Section J.
Yes	Read on.
