SMSF Financials & Tax Returns

At autoSMSF your assigned SMSF tax accountant plays a vital role in managing your Self-Managed Super Fund, offering a yearly overview of its financial health. Regardless of tax liability, the fund must submit its annual return, encompassing assets, liabilities, income, expenses, contributions, and investments. These documents ensure compliance with superannuation laws and determine tax obligations. It’s crucial to entrust their preparation to a certified professional specializing in SMSF regulations. Accurate and compliant financials, meeting the ATO’s reporting standards, are essential for maintaining compliance and informed decision-making regarding the fund’s finances and investments.

SMSF Audit

SMSF audit is a crucial, legally required process for managing a Self-Managed Super Fund. It involves a thorough examination of financial statements, ensuring adherence to laws and accuracy of fund activities. Conducted by an independent auditor for impartiality, it reviews statements, income, expenses, assets, and compliance with regulations, including related-party transactions. The Audit Report provided afterward is crucial for assessing compliance. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and loss of tax concessions. For this reason, autoSMSF employs a qualified, independent auditor to fullfill audit obligations and maintain compliance.

SMSF Setup

Setting up an SMSF requires regulatory requirements, like appointing trustees, creating a trust deed, and setting up a bank account. There are two trustee structures: individual and corporate. The individual structure gives members direct control but can get complex with changes or emergencies. The corporate structure involves a company as trustee, offering more flexibility, legal protection, and separation of assets. The choice depends on personal circumstances, so seeking professional advice is crucial for a well-informed decision during setup. For more information contact our office or check on ATO website.

Bare/Holding Trust Setup

A bare/holding trust is a legal arrangement that holds assets on behalf of an SMSF, commonly utilized for property investment through borrowing. It comes into play when the SMSF seeks to borrow funds from an external source for investment. This is commonly known as Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBA). This comprises a Corporate Trustee and a Bare Trust. The process involves choosing a corporate trustee, creating a trust deed delineating roles and adhering to regulations. The bare trust cannot be set up until you’ve identified the property the SMSF intends to purchase. For more information contact our office or check on ATO website.
