Beware of illegal schemes offering early access to super

There is currently a range of illegal schemes and plans that exist that are offering unsuspecting taxpayers access to their superannuation savings before retirement. The promoters of these plans will tell you that they are able to access your super savings for reasons such as paying off debt, buying a house or car or even going on a holiday. These schemes, as enticing as they may seem, are illegal and heavy penalties apply if you decide to participate in them.

It is extremely important to understand that super savings cannot be accessed prior to retirement, except in some very limited and highly restricted circumstances. These specific circumstances are usually related to specific medical conditions or when the individual/s are experiencing severe financial hardship.

The promoters of these illegal super schemes encourage you to transfer super savings from your existing fund to a self-managed super fund (SMSF) so that you can access and utilise your super savings before you retire. They offer to make it easy for you to complete the transfer in return for a substantial fee.

These promoters will often target people who are under financial pressure or who do not have a clear understanding of superannuation laws. Most of these illegal schemes require you to roll over your savings from your large, established super fund into a SMSF. Getting involved with one of these schemes by either offering or accepting the transaction constitutes illegal activity and is treated as such by authorities. Not only is it illegal but those who chose to participate in these schemes also leave themselves vulnerable to the possibility of losing some or all of their super savings to the criminals but also exposing themselves to possible identity fraud.

Superannuation savings are intended to provide you with financial security and support when you retire. As mentioned previously early access to the funds is not permitted and if found to do so illegally there are hefty penalties to pay. Penalties vary depending on the party at fault and an outline of these follows below.

Penalties for an individual/ a member of a super fund: Any money you withdraw from a super fund will be included as income in your tax return and will be fully assessed at your marginal tax rate, plus the Medicare levy. Any fee or commission that a promoter takes from your super savings when they help you to roll over your super or set up an SMSF cannot be claimed as a deduction. If you do not include withdrawn super amounts in your tax return then you may be required to pay interest and penalties on the additional tax that you owe.

Penalties for a trustee: As a trustee of the super fund, any super that you illegally access forms part of your assessable income and you are likely to face higher taxes and additional penalties as a result.

Trustees can also be disqualified if and when they allow super savings to be accessed early. Disqualified persons are then unable to operate as a trustee of an SMSF. As a trustee, if you knowingly allow illegal access of super savings, you may be liable for penalties of up to $220,000 and/or jail terms of up to five years, or fines of up to $1.1 million for corporate trustees.

Penalties for a SMSF: An SMSF used to assist the illegal release of super savings may be treated as non-complying and as a result the fund’s income will be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate. The fund’s income may include the value of its assets accumulated before the fund became non-complying and would result in even more considerable financial penalties.

Penalties for a promoter: Any identified promoters of these illegal schemes will be assessed on all the fees and commissions that are received for arranging the early release of super savings and for setting up SMSFs. Additionally, if these amounts have not been included in the promoter’s tax return, penalties and a general interest charge will also be applied to any tax shortfall.

Promoters may also be prosecuted by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) and/or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), as these activities may involve breaches of the:
• Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993
• Corporations Act 2001
• Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001.

Possible breaches may include misleading or deceptive conduct and the provision of financial product advice without an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).

Both civil and criminal penalties, including significant fines and terms of imprisonment, may be imposed for these and other related breaches of the law.

To reiterate, superannuation savings are intended to provide you with financial security in your retirement and it is illegal for anyone, including yourself, to access and orchestrate the use of these funds before you reach eligible retirement age.

Who to Release? $89.95 This book is concerned to explore the changing role of the Parole Board across the range of its responsibilities, including the prediction of risk and deciding on the release (or continued detention) of the growing number of recalled prisoners and of those subject to indeterminate sentences. In doing so it aims to rectify the lack of attention that has been given by lawyers, academics and practitioners to back door sentencing' (where the real length of a sentence is decided by those who take the decision to release) compared to front door sentencing' (decisions taken by judges or magistrates in court). Particular attention is given in this book to the important changes made to the role and working of the Parole Board as a result of the impact of the early release scheme of the Criminal Justice Act 2005, with the Parole Board now deciding in Panels concerned with determinate sentence prisoners, lifers and recalled prisoners. A wide range of significant issues, and case law, has arisen as a result of these changes, which the contributors to this book, leading authorities in the field, aim to explore.

Release from Prison $89.95 Release from prison is matter of increasing interest throughout Europe. On the one hand, arguments about the need to reduce prison numbers, as well the consistent findings that prisoners can be integrated into society more effectively if they are subject to a period of supervision in the community, have made early release policies attractive to governments and to academic commentators. On the other hand, there are concerns that early release may not be applied fairly to all prisoners. A comparative perspective on how the release of prisoners is implemented is particularly important as there is political move towards encouraging the moving of EU prisoners to their home jurisdictions to serve their sentences. This raises important questions of fairness and justice as each country operates very different systems of release and parole. At the moment, there is a dearth of comparative information on release from prison across Europe. This book aims to meet this need and explores some of the key themes and issues.

The Early Beatles $84.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Early Beatles is The Beatles sixth release on Capitol Records, and their seventh album for the American market. The album resembles more of an early compilation because all of the tracks had previously been featured on the early 1964 VeeJay release Introducing... The Beatles. The front cover photo for this album is the same as the back cover photo for the British LP Beatles for Sale. VeeJay had gained American rights to the tracks before the group became popular in America (because Capitol, the US division of EMI which owns The Beatles record label Parlophone, had refused to release the groups records), and their releases had initially failed to chart. But after the group became popular, VeeJay, still having the rights to the early material, were able to rerelease them in America and this time the records sold in the millions.

Roadshow Theatrical Release $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A roadshow theatrical release (also commonly known as reserved seat engagement) was a term in the American motion picture industry for a practice in which a film opened in a limited number of theaters in large cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco for a specific period of time before the nationwide release and was shown only once or twice a day, usually with an intermission halfway or twothirds of the way through the picture. Although variants of roadshow releases occasionally still exist, the roadshow releases basically ended in the early 1970s. Unlike the common modernday limited release, roadshow films were shown to audiences who had had to reserve their seats and were given or able to purchase souvenir programs, as they did with live theater productions. Most films shown in this format were movies that were twoandahalf hours or longer in length, and admission prices were more expensive than those films shown as regular attractions. Many of the films given roadshow releases were subsequently distributed to regular movie theatres. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Release from Prison: European Policy and Practice $128.99 Release from prison is matter of increasing interest throughout Europe.

RELEASE $271 This book documents CCPS's Aerosol Research Program to develop a model to predict liquid rainout from release of a pressurized, liquefied gas--and, hence the residual amount of material in a vapor cloud, which may be greater than the amount calculated from an enthalpy chart. RELEASE predicts the rate of fluid discharge, the depressurization, flashing and formation of liquid drops, the entrainment of drops into the vapor cloud, the subsequent spreading of the jet, and rate of liquid rainout to a pool on the ground. Designed in a modular fashion to permit adjustment and corrections as new data become available, its multi-layered approach contains sub-models that include the complexities of many variables, including the effect of liquid superheat, rate of bubble growth, criterion for bubble formation, and heat transfer from the liquid to the growing vapor bubble. To validate RELEASE, CCPS conducted small- and large-scale experiments using superheated water, heated liquefied chlorine, methylamine, and cyclohexane that produced valuable data in an area where data are scarce. This book gives complete access, in text and on CD-ROM, to the model and the test data, giving users an informed ability to apply the model to their own work.

Release - $12.99 Shank co-creators Darren Flaxstone and Christian Martin reteam to craft this tense prison drama detailing the forbidden love affair between a troubled inmate, and an emotionally vulnerable guard. When young clergyman Jack (Daniel Brocklebank) goes to prison for an unspecified crime, the church turns its back on him. Later, rumblings amongst inmates lead to rumors that Jack is in prison for pedophilia, a revelation that makes his new adolescent cellmate Rook (Wayne Virgo) markedly nervous until Jack saves him from a vicious beating. Afterword, when the rest of the inmates turn on Jack, he finds an unlikely savior in the form of compassionate prison guard Martin (Garry Summers). Before long Jack and Martin have fallen in love, their affair giving Jack a newfound hope for a happy future. But it all starts to fall apart when Max (Bernie Hodges), the ruthless leader of a powerful prison gang, catches wind of their relationship and passes the word along to Governess Heather (Dymphna Skehill), who suspends the guard for improper conduct. Later, Jack suffers a vicious beating at the hands of Max, and spends his recovery time reading love letters from Martin. But when Father Elliot (Dave Jones) shows up to probe Jack about his plans for the future, his hope for a happy life together with Martin quickly begins to unravel. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
