Is SMSF tax filing different from a normal business tax return?

Yes, SMSFs are taxed under specific superannuation rules, including concessional tax rates and contribution cap rules that don't apply elsewhere.

Do you also provide the independent audit my SMSF needs?

Auditing must be independent of tax return preparation under SIS Act requirements. See our SMSF Auditing service, which we coordinate alongside your return.

What happens if my fund breaches a contribution cap?

Excess contributions may attract additional tax. We monitor caps throughout the year to avoid this where possible.

Overview

A Higher Compliance Bar Than Ordinary Tax Work

Self-managed super funds carry a higher compliance bar than most personal or business tax matters. Trustees are personally responsible for meeting obligations under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act), and errors can affect the fund's complying status.

These obligations apply the same way nationally, so trustees anywhere in Australia need a tax agent who understands SMSF-specific rules, not just general tax law.

Regulatory Context

SMSFs are regulated under the SIS Act and overseen by the ATO as national regulator. Trustees must ensure the fund meets its sole purpose test, investment strategy requirements, and contribution cap limits. Breaches can result in the fund losing complying status and significant tax penalties.
