Read on.

Write at J1 to J6 the value (on 30 June 2015) of assets beneficially held by the SMSF in a trust as security for a borrowing of money under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, including instalment warrants.

  • The amounts you write at J1 to J6 are the values of the assets held on trust under limited recourse borrowing arrangements and not the amounts borrowed or the amount of outstanding borrowings.
  • Write the value of the outstanding borrowings under the limited recourse borrowing arrangements at V Borrowings in item 16 Liabilities.
  • Do not include the amounts you write at J1 to J6 at any other asset question in Section H.
    For example, if the SMSF holds a beneficial interest in overseas shares on trust under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, record the value of the shares at J5 and not at P Overseas shares.
