I, Ben Kelly, Deputy Commissioner of Taxation, make this determination under paragraph 71(1)(f) of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SISA).

Legislative Instrument

This determination is the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (COVID 19 Rental Income Deferrals - In-House Asset Exclusion) Determination 2022.

2. Commencement

This instrument commences on the day after it is registered on the Federal Register of Legislation.

3. Application

This instrument applies to the trustee(s) of a self-managed superannuation fund (fund) where the fund acquires or holds an asset that would be an in-house asset as a result of the rent payable under a lease as described in paragraphs 4(a) and (b) being deferred during the 2021-22 income year.

For the purposes of paragraph 71(1)(f) of the SISA, where during the 2021-22 income year the fund:

the asset is not an in-house asset of the fund in the 2021-22 income year when the rent was deferred, nor any future income years.
