Minimum Drawdown Non-Compliance Tax Penalty
Definition
Trustees in account-based pensions and SMSFs face tax penalties if they fail to withdraw the prescribed minimum drawdown rates from superannuation income streams, reverting to full rates from 1 July 2024 post-pandemic relief.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 15% tax on entire pension income stream (e.g., AUD 30,000 penalty on AUD 200,000 annual pension)
- Frequency: Annually per income year (1 July - 30 June)
- Root Cause: Manual miscalculation of drawdown rates or failure to monitor balance on 1 July transfer day
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Trusts and Estates players in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 15,000+ annually on tax penalties per SMSF for missed RMDs. Automation of minimum drawdown calculations and monitoring eliminates this risk.
