Commercial Property and your SMSF

Issue: 489 - Wednesday, 17 February 2016

In this Issue

  1. Commercial Property and your SMSF

1. Commercial Property and your SMSF

by John Wojtowicz (Director - Law Central Legal)

It is a common and popular investment for Trustees of an SMSF to purchase freehold property.

Often a small business owner may purchase the land through their SMSF and then have the fund lease the property back to the business. This bulletin focuses on the need to have such a transaction properly documented. Issues relating to the financing of the purchase by the SMSF will be addressed in a future bulletin.

What is a Commercial Lease?

A lease is a legally binding agreement between the landowner and the tenant that creates an interest in the land that is subject to the lease. The lease gives the tenant security of tenure and is essential to establishing the goodwill value of the business and its future resale value. In certain businesses this may be critical if the location is core to the value of the business - e.g. a lotto kiosk at a shopping centre.

Lease documents will, in nearly all cases, contain certain common terms - e.g. the term of lease, rent and outgoings payable, tenant obligations and landlord obligations. Other terms may include a redevelopment clause or a specific clause or clauses relating to the particular business leasing the land.

Certain legislation in each State may also affect what terms can be enforced in a lease. The most common example of this relates to a situation where the proposed tenant is a “Retail Shop’ (the law on this area will be different from State to State).

Interest in Land- to be in writing

Under various State Acts, for an interest in land to be binding then such an interest needs to be in writing:

New South Wales - section 23C Conveyancing Act 1919

Victoria – section 53 Property Law Act 1958

WA - section 34 Property Law Act 1969

Queensland - section 11 Property Law Act 1974

South Australia - section 29 Law of Property Act 1936

Tasmania- section 60 Conveyancing and Law of Property Act 1884

In short a “hand shake” deal to create a binding lease will not be binding - it must be in writing. (In certain circumstances the court may enforce a verbal agreement under equitable principles. The law in this area is complex and the court decisions vary depending on the facts of each case).

SMSF and Commercial Leases

If a SMSF wants to own freehold land and lease it back to a business that is a related party of the SMSF then the land or property in question must comply with the definition of “Business Real Property” (BRP) under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act).

Section 66(5) of the SIS Act states the following definition of BRP:

“ "business real property", in relation to an entity, means:

  1. any freehold or leasehold interest of the entity in real property; or
  2. any interest of the entity in Crown land, other than a leasehold interest, being an interest that is capable of assignment or transfer; or
  3. if another class of interest in relation to real property is prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph--any interest belonging to that class that is held by the entity;

where the real property is used wholly and exclusively in one or more businesses (whether carried on by the entity or not), but does not include any interest held in the capacity of beneficiary of a trust estate.”

In summary, when an SMSF purchases property to lease back to a related party business it should:

  1. have this investment contained in its investment strategy;
  2. make sure that the property falls within the definition of a BRP under the SIS Act;
  3. have a written commercial lease agreement in place – on commercial terms; and
  4. ensure that the terms of the lease are complied with at all times.
