Off-Market Share Transfers to Continue

Our recent article last chance to transfer shares into super is no longer relevant. The government on Wednesday the 29^th of May 2013 decided to abandon the proposed off-market transfer of share into super. The key reasons for abandoning the proposed changes are due to the costs and complexity the changes would have been to introduce.

We welcome the decision to abandon the changes to off-market related party transfers as investors will continue to be able to transfer shares into superannuation via in specie without incurring high brokerage costs.

The changes also extend to other related party transfers including some collectables. It would have been extremely difficult to find professional valuers who would have the necessary experience and knowledge to value a collectable.
