Managing SMSF Tax Return with SMSF Accountant

The Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is essentially a trust that is registered with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for the provision of retirement to its members with the concession SMSF tax rate of 15%. Or, simply put, like other superannuation funds, it is a way of saving for your retirement.

The SMSF tax return is lodged every year. The self-managed super fund accountants help the members to furnish the SMSF returns after furnishing details of all the applicable levies, income, contributions and any other information required under the regulation.

This appropriately furnished SMSF accounting statement is then presented to the ATO as the legal requirement of lodging the SMSF tax return by the SMSF accountant.
Generally, SMSF income type is popular among people who wish to have flexibility in their superannuation assets investments such as in the real estate industry. However, due to frequent changes being made to the SMSF regulations, preparing the SMSF statement can often be cumbersome. So, it is always better to consider the assistance of a professional SMSF accountant.

How and when is SMSF tax return audited?

Generally, to lodge and pay the SMSF tax return the following due dates are applicable:

  • 15 May of every financial year is the due date for filing the SMSF audit and tax return, unless otherwise stated by ATO for those who prefer doing this on their own
  • If the payee lodges the self-managed super fund return with the assistance of a tax agent or SMSF accountant, then the due date will be decided under the tax agent lodgement programme

In case, you are lodging your first annual SMSF tax return, then the due dates are:

  • If you are planning to lodge the SMSF tax return on your own, you must do so by October 31 after the end of the first financial year
  • In case you are considering to take assistance from a tax accountant, you will have to lodge the SMSF return by February 28 if you are a newly registered SMSF. For future years, you will be required to lodge by 15 May, unless otherwise stated by the ATO.

Please note that as the administration follows a process of strict compliance for the purpose of furnishing and presenting the SMSF returns, expert help is always recommended. Here, at Accountant Perth WA, we have experienced agents to offer legitimate SMSF accounting services.

  • I must say Tax Accountant Perth is the most professional and prompt tax expert. I had them incorporate my business and set up my books and give me the best Tax planning advice. One thing I have always been incredibly impressed about is that they helped me in dealing with personal and corporate taxation with ease. I am not that good in accounting stuff and needed some time off to take care of other business activities and then I took company tax return services from the Tax Accountant Perth and was impressed with their demeanor. Then I was able to focus on the production department of my company. It was only possible by having these experts watching my back for all tax related concerns. Sure, we all get stressed, but I have never met a less judgmental group of people in some of the hardest times of my life. I am really thankful and appreciate the efforts of the Tax Accountant Perth WA.
