Q: A person has a business partnership with a retirement fund (SMSF) where the fund owns some land and the person's company pays for developing it. The person gets an extra 1.5% fee on top of the development costs. The payment happens only after the project is done and the land is sold. The retirement fund will legally own the land. There's a rule saying that when the land is sold, the money will first go to any lenders, then other parties, then cover the costs and fees, and finally to the retirement fund. The question is: Should the retirement fund collect all the sale money and pay the appropriate taxes, while the person sends a bill to the retirement fund for their share?
