What our SMSF accounting team can do for you
SMSF Setup
→ Is an SMSF a wise decision for you? → Establish a trust + documentation → SMSF registration → Setup your bank account → Create your investment strategy
You may want to get our SMSF accountants involved right from the start since the decisions you make when establishing your fund can affect our ability to help you later.
A Self Managed Super fund (or SMSF) is a superannuation fund where you (along with a small number of others) are also the trustees of the fund. Trustees are the one’s that have control over a super fund, and everything that goes on within it.
Does a SMSF have to do an audit every year?
Yes. Every SMSF must have an annual SMSF audit to check the validity and accuracy of its financial statements and its compliance with superannuation legislation (SIS Act) and regulations (SISR).
Can a SMSF run a business?
Self-managed super funds can carry on business, but the business activity must be:
allowed under the trust deed
operated for the sole purpose of providing retirement benefits for fund members.
The rules governing SMSFs prohibit or limit some activities available to other businesses, such as entering into credit arrangements or having overdrafts. You should get professional advice before carrying on a business through your SMSF.
Do you have to pay tax on SMSF?
Yes. Generally speaking, the income of your SMSF is taxed at a concessional rate of 15%. To be entitled to this rate, your fund has to be a ‘complying fund’ that follows the laws and rules for SMSFs. For a non-complying fund the rate is the highest marginal tax rate.
How much to run a SMSF?
There are a number of ongoing running costs to consider for an SMSF – accounting, audit, planning, broking, etc. The running costs for a SMSF will generally be between $1,500 and $10,000 depending on the assets held by the fund and any advice received by the trustees.
Can I lend money to my SMSF?
It is possible for an SMSF to lend money to a third party but (as with almost everything to do with SMSFs) there are strict restrictions for doing so. Lending money must be part of the SMSF’s investment strategy and the trust deed must allow for lending. It’s incredibly important to seek professional advice on this matter.
What does SMSF stand for?
SMSF stands for Self Managed Super Fund.
