Why Are Self Managed Super Funds Becoming Increasingly Popular?
Self managed superannuation funds or SMSF’s are becoming a common way for tax payers to plan for their retirement. This is because SMSF allow for greater control over ones’ finances and retirement planning than other superannuation funds. They also allow for better personalisation and can be altered to suit the individual needs of the trustee, rather than being structured to benefit the collective interests or members like an industry and retail super fund.
However SMSF’s do require more organisation and cooperation from the trustees end and every year, trustees need to have an Annual Financial Report, Tax Return and Independent Audit Report prepared.
