When Equality Meets Tax Reality in the Estate Plan

An estate plan often sets out to treat the beneficiaries on equal terms. However, it may not be until the estate is being administered that tax rears its head in some form so that one beneficiary’s share is diminished by the potential tax consequences attached to a certain asset, including superannuation.

This session looks into these situations, including:

  • How tax equalisation between beneficiaries can be factored into the estate plan in practice

  • Dealing with the tax consequences of a non-resident receiving shares from an estate that triggers CGT event K3

  • The super ‘death tax’ and who pays it

  • Accounting for CGT and PAYG withholding liabilities on payments of super death benefits

  • Case studies: where tax can result in unequal treatment of beneficiaries, and practical solutions to common issues

Who should watch

Tax advisors, financial planners, estate planners, tax agents, accountants, lawyers and those who control or are beneficiaries of Superannuation

Level of expertise

This webinar is for persons with some knowledge or interest in estate planning.
