SMSF and Crypto – What Australians Must Know. Jake Claver on capital gains.
What this recording covers
Claver addresses potential tax exposures for Australian self-managed superannuation funds holding digital assets. He explains that proposed legislative measures regarding taxes on unrealized asset growth could create substantial tax liabilities on unsold holdings. To manage this exposure, Claver discusses structural alternatives available to asset holders. One approach involves transferring holdings into an Australian family trust, where tax liabilities are settled upon initial contribution, allowing subsequent asset accumulation to occur within the trust structure. Claver also notes that some individuals relocate entities or establish structures in another country, such as Dubai or other international regions, to separate assets from their personal taxable estate. Claver describes how entity structuring, timing of asset transfers, and legal residency influence long-term tax positioning for digital asset holders.
