The COVID-19 Rent Relief pack is the second component of the Heffron Super Toolkit.
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, some SMSFs that own commercial property may have provided rent relief to their tenants to recognise that the tenant is suffering financially and can't comply with the standard terms and conditions of their lease. Where the tenant is a related party, care must be taken to ensure any rent relief complies with the superannuation laws.
The COVID-19 Rent Relief pack is designed to help an SMSF landlord document the reasons for their provision of rent relief (sufficient to satisfy auditor and ATO requirements).
Benefits of the COVID-19 Rent Relief Pack
Peace of mind
The COVID-19 Rent Relief documentation takes into account the constraints of the ATO's compliance concessions in this area, so the client can be confident that the documents produced will meet auditor and ATO scrutiny. It is only appropriate in cases where the tenant is a business rather than for residential property.
Sharing with clients is easy
The toolkit component is designed to be shared with clients. Documents can be previewed, downloaded, shared with another user in the same way as the Investment Strategy.
Practical expertise
Our incredible technical knowledge and understanding of SMSFs has contributed to creating this valuable tool. This form is designed to help an SMSF landlord document the reasons for their provision of rent relief (sufficient to satisfy auditor and ATO requirements).
Deliver a high level of service
The COVID-19 Rent Relief documentation doesn’t simply produce template documentation. It walks users through the ATO’s requirements for compliance relief, helping users identify the drivers for rent relief and articulate the reasons why relief should be given in particular situations, and highlights rent relief risks.
Increase your productivity
Our easy to use guided COVID-19 Rent Relief documentation helps you become more efficient when determining eligibility. It will educate you on some of the external benchmarks that are available.
Enable client accountability
The tool is designed to help your clients be compliant and accountable for temporary rent relief provided by an SMSF Trustee that owns property leased to a business impacted by COVID-19. It is only appropriate in cases where the tenant is a business rather than for residential property.
