AMP recently received guidance from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), that from 1 July 2024 Super Funds and IDPS operators will no longer be able to claim a Reduced Input Tax Credit (RITC) on behalf of members for Advice Fees collected by the platform.

We’re working through what this means for you and your clients and will continue to closely monitor developments and issue further guidance as required. We’re notifying you now, so you can prepare your clients for this change.

What’s changing?

Currently, the RITC provides your clients with a 75% discount on the GST charged on Advice Fees collected through the platform.

For example, when you are charging an Advice fee of $110 (inc GST) the client is receiving a credit of $7.50 therefore paying a net amount of $102.50. From 1 July 2024, clients will be charged the full GST amount. In the example above, the full $110 will be collected from the client and paid to your licensee.

While the fees you charge will remain the same, the amount collected from your client for advice fees will increase by the RITC amount.

When is the change effective?

The GST charged on Advice Fees will increase for clients for all fees collected from 1 July 2024.

What are the impacts to clients?

Advice Fees collected from client accounts will increase by approximately 7.3% as per the ATO’s updated guidance.

What do I need to do?

We recommend you review your Advice fees and discuss the impending change with your clients.
