About You: SMSFs
Setting Up Your Own Super Fund
Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) offer compelling tax advantages. During the accumulation stage, they offer a 15% tax rate on income, and a very attractive 10% (maximum) tax on capital gains. For many of our Western Sydney clients, the merits of a SMSF are certainly worth careful consideration, and the ATP team is well qualified to help you to objectively weigh up the pros and cons of a SMSF for your particular situation.
Aside from the tax benefits, your SMSF will offer other advantages, including:
-
Incorporating family members into one super fund
-
Having control or input into investments, tax strategies, and estate planning
-
A wider investment choices (than managed funds)
-
The ability to pay an income stream from your SMSF
As a Trustee of your SMSF, however, you face a myriad of requirements to ensure that your Fund is both tax complaint and meets all regulatory rules.
We provide compliance support to your SMSF Trustees, including the preparation of financial statements, tax returns and audit. At ATP Tax Accountants we want to help you develop the strategies that will allow your fund’s members to best access their super in retirement, and to benefit from all available ‘transition to retirement’ strategies.
