However particular attention should be made where your superfund is paying you a pension while at the same time you are working (part-time say) and are making contributions. The expenses in this situation need to be apportioned.
Apportionment rules are subject to change however here are some examples:
Investment Management Fees, such as fees paid to your broker or investment advisor are apportionable as follows:
Investment Advisor Fees x assessable income / total investment income
General Administration Expenses:
Admin Expenses x assessable income / total income
Types of expenses that may require apportionment:
- subscriptions
- accounting fees
- audit fees
- actuarial fees
- other admin costs
Here is what the ATO has to say <ATO-Link> see TR93/17.
