The ATO has released an article regarding the ATO’s current position on the Bendel decision.
The article discusses some common questions regarding the Commissioner of Taxation v Bendel [2025] FCAFC 15 (Bendel) case decision and court process. Taxpayers are strongly encouraged to review the ATO Interim Decision Impact Statement, and to seek advice about their individual circumstances.
The ATO has reminded SMSF trustees of the requirement to pay the minimum payment for any account based pensions by 30 June.
The ATO stated 'If the minimum payment is not made by 30 June, this could result in adverse taxation consequences for the member.'
