With recent legislative changes, previously adopted strategies may now prove risky for clients and practitioners alike. Advisers must keep ahead of the wave of change to ensure they don’t miss considerable opportunities for,and implement strategies that are detrimental to, their clients. This paper examines:

- undertaking property development and improvements in an SMSF is risky business – what is currently on the ATO’s radar?
- recent experiences with limited resource borrowing arrangements (aka SMSF borrowing)
- what’s hot and what’s not with current pension strategies – including the extension of the pension exemption for non-auto reversionary pensions
- some key aspects of the CGT rules and how they impact on super strategies, especially obtaining $1.315M rollover relief under Div 152 and avoiding getting hit up badly with excess contributions tax.
