Goodwin Chivas & Co. Newsletter - September 2015 Edition

Welcome to our September newsletter. This month we outline the ATO's new penalty regime for SMSFs and additional powers to force compliance by SMSF trustees. We also provide the latest bankruptcy numbers by suburb from the Australian Financial Security Authority. 

If you're involved in the leasing of serial numbered goods such as vehicles, caravans, forklifts or watercraft, you should be aware of proposed changes to the Personal Property Securities Act. Read our article, PPSA update on short-term leases for more details. 

Finally, we outline the three rules by which to live in the current volatile environment recommended by Martyn Wild from BT Investments in our timely article, Investing in volatile markets.
