Why stop at art? What about collectors items – some fine wine perhaps? Or, a few antiques?
The answer is yes you can, as long as the asset is genuinely for retirement income purposes, not for your personal use now, and not acquired from a related party. But the Government is looking closely at what SMSF’s acquire and how those assets are managed.

Some tax planning only creates timing benefits rather than real savings. So the question is; what delivers real results? The majority of tax planning falls into one of three categories – health and hygiene decisions that every business should review each year, timing benefits, and permanent savings.
The timing benefits do exactly that. They create tax savings that should ultimately materialise over the life of the business but they bring them forward.

Most small business owners are pretty close to their business. For many it is a major part of their life and the distinction between personal and business is easily blurred. This can also cross over to their financial affairs with business and personal finances being interlinked.
Some recent tax cases are a reminder of the risks you run if you don’t keep sufficient separation between personal and business. Get it wrong and you can lose some valuable tax deductions. The risk occurs where you are operating your business through another entity such as a company or trust. This is quite common and makes good sense from an asset protection and separation perspective. The problem occurs when you incur expenses on an individual basis, on behalf of your business, and then seek to claim tax deductions for them.
