SMSFs are regulated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and must comply with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act) and the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 (SIS Regulations). The rules cover various aspects of SMSF management, including trustee duties, investment restrictions, contribution limits, and reporting requirements.

To ensure compliance with ATO regulations, SMSF trustees need to maintain accurate and up-to-date records, prepare and lodge annual returns, and follow investment restrictions. Engaging an experienced SMSF accountant can help ensure compliance with ATO regulations and provide peace of mind.

SMSFs enjoy concessional tax treatment, with income earned within the fund taxed at a maximum rate of 15% (or 0% if in pension phase). Additionally, SMSFs may be eligible for capital gains tax (CGT) discounts if assets are held for longer than 12 months. However, there are various tax rules and regulations that SMSF trustees need to be aware of to avoid penalties and fines.
