KEY BENEFITS OF SMSF

The main rationale for establishing your own SMSF is the increased level of control you have, as well as the investment choice and flexibility. You become the trustee of your fund or the director of the Trustee Company and therefore make decisions on your fund’s investment strategy and the type of assets that are held within your fund.

Furthermore, similar to all complying super funds, a SMSF is taxed at a concessional rate. The top tax rate for investment earnings from your SMSF is 15 per cent. This tax concession, however, is only available for complying funds – which are SMSF’s that fulfill all the rules set out by the ATO, the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) (SIS) Act 1993 and the SIS Regulations.

THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF COMPLIANCE

Your fund’s compliance with superannuation law is vital and you are legally accountable for ensuring your fund complies with all the rules – even if you pay for professional management.

The main components of compliance for an SMSF relate to:

how and when a SMSF is permitted to borrow
in-house asset rules
acquisition of assets from related parties, and
conducting all dealings at arm’s length
contributions
withdrawals

SOLE PURPOSE TEST

The foundation of the Superannuation regulatory system is the ‘sole purpose test’ – the sole purpose of your fund should be to provide retirement or death benefits to fund members and their family.
