Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Managed Superannuation Fund in Australia

How does an SMSF differ from a regular superannuation fund?

An SMSF is different from a regular superannuation fund because it gives you more control over your investments and retirement savings. You can make your investment strategy fit your needs and preferences. Regular superannuation funds, on the other hand, are run by professional fund managers who choose investments for members.

What are the benefits of an SMSF?

With an SMSF, you have more control over your investment strategy and can put your money into a wider range of assets, such as property, shares, and international markets. You may also be able to pool your money with family members to get more investment options.

What are the requirements for setting up an SMSF?

An SMSF can only have six members, and all are trustees or directors of a corporate trustee. Other members can’t be hired unless they are related. No trustee can get paid for their duties, and the fund has to meet all Australian superannuation fund requirements to keep its tax concessions.

What are the investment strategy considerations for an SMSF?

SMSF trustees must document and implement an investment strategy that maximises returns for members, takes risk into account, ensures diversification, and takes into account the fund’s ability to pay benefits and cover costs. Failure to establish an investment strategy can result in penalties for trustees.

What are the tax implications of an SMSF?

SMSFs are eligible for certain tax breaks. For concessional contributions and investment earnings, the highest tax rate that can be applied during the accumulation phase is 15%. On the other hand, if your earnings and concessional contributions exceed a certain threshold, you might be required to pay additional taxes.
