The ATO said it is reviewing and assessing all new SMSFs before they can receive a registered or complying status on Super Fund Lookup (SFLU) as part of a program to stop illegal early access schemes.
Failure to create, execute, perform and retain documents for an SMSF can leave a fund and its trustees unable to provide compliance evidence, warns a specialist legal expert.
The different operations of pensions passed onto a beneficiary can be confusing and SMSF members must understand how the will impact their transfer balance account.
