Are you wondering what is a Self-managed Super Fund (SMSF) and how it works?

What is a SMSF?

A SMSF is a trust set up to create wealth for your retirement.  It can pool family member funds for a variety of investments such as shares, properties (such as your business premises), private loans to non related person, term deposits, unlisted share or trust investments.

SMSFs offer some very real benefits to members but, at the same time, carry responsibilities and obligations. Easch year for instance you must complete a tax return and have it audited by an independent registered auditor.

The great thing about Super is that it is a low tax environment. It taxes your earnings at 15% before you retire and 0%tax after you retire. So if you plan to make a big capital gain on property or shares, this is where to own it.

What are the advantages of a SMSF?

• Contributing to Super can be tax deductible,
• The low or concessional tax rate,
• Greater range of investment opportunities,
• pooling of family super to increase purchasing power
• Having control over the fund. This allows you to chose a flexible investment strategy that suits your circumstances.
• A SMSF can be tailored to meet your own family circumstances in relation to estate planning. You can include family members as long as there are no more than 4 members in the fund at any given time.
• Save on the investment management fees.
• Having your own SMSF makes it more fun as you build your retirement piggy bank.
