Where to from here?

ATO audit - steps to reduce risk to your practice

11.05am Self-Managed retirement portfolio construction
What is the potential impact of a change in Federal Government?
Learn how a potential change in the Federal Government could cause a sea-change in the way Australiana private and self-managed investors structure investment portfolios in the future. The franking credit regime has been lucrative for tax-advantaged investors, but it has also created a dangerous over-reliance on domestic, franked-income streams and a lack of diversification in many portfolios. The potential change in imputation credit rebates has caused significant angst amongst investors, but in reality, there is an increasing number of alternative income sources to franked dividends that should cushion the perceived blow to retirement incomes.
