Why Choose a Self-Managed Super Fund?
Superannuation is an essential part of your working life and plays a vital role in preparing for retirement. A self-managed super fund (SMSF) is a private super fund that you manage yourself, typically with up to six members, all of whom are usually trustees. SMSFs offer a range of benefits for both you and your beneficiaries, including more control over investment choices and potential tax advantages.
Greater Control Of Your Retirement
In an SMSF, you manage your own super fund, so you have greater control of your assets and investment decisions. A member can also be an SMSF trustee (individual or corporate trustee), which means they can make decisions when it comes to investment options such as:
- Direct Property
- Managed Funds
- Listed Securities
- Direct Property
- Managed Funds
- Listed Securities
Self Managed Super Funds Also Have Numerous Tax Benefits.
Income Tax Rate
The current tax rate on earnings within a superannuation fund is 15%.
Retirement Phase
And when the income within an SMSF is generated by assets supporting a retirement phase pension, that income is generally tax-free within the fund.
However, while an SMSF provides a lot of flexibility and control over your retirement savings, it also comes with significant compliance requirements and red tape that can be overwhelming for those without expert knowledge and experience.
From managing investments to filing tax returns and meeting regulatory obligations, there are numerous legal and administrative responsibilities that SMSF trustees must fulfil to avoid penalties and other consequences.
That’s why having a team of professionals to help you manage your own SMSF and provide tax advice is essential.
If you engage our SMSF services, our advisors bring the expertise and experience needed to help you meet compliance requirements and navigate the regulatory landscape. We’ll ensure your SMSF is structured and managed to support your financial goals while staying within legal and compliance boundaries.
What Does an SMSF Accountant Do?
Usually, an SMSF accountant is engaged to review the history of your fund. They’ll assess what took place in the previous financial year, including fund performance and your super balance. These insights are then used to lodge tax returns accurately and maintain proper records for future reporting.
A Chartered Accountant can also provide advice on maintaining complex compliance, guidance on tax, and even information about your business structure.
For example, at KNS Accountants, our team uses a personalised approach for all self-managed super funds. A licensed financial adviser will consider your financial circumstances and suggest appropriate strategies to suit your needs and future goals.
Here are some of the other benefits you can enjoy from an SMSF accounting agency:
- Entering and annually preparing the trial balance, financial statements, and member statements of your self-managed super fund
- Preparing and lodging your annual SMSF tax return
- Liaising with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in the capacity of a tax agent
- Obtaining your annual audit report from SMSF auditors
- Preparing and maintaining your capital gains tax register, providing investment reports, and organising annual minutes for your fund
- Arrange the trial balance and the quarterly GST return and lodge it with the ATO if your super fund is registered for GST, such as ownership of a commercial property
- Doing the various calculations for segregation, part or full pension modes for member balances, and the exempt pension deduction
- Preparing the minutes and forms needed to start, roll over, or maintain your pension
- Liaising with an Approved Actuary on your behalf
