Income for complying Self-Managed-Superannuation-Funds is generally tax free for retired members. Each year an SMSF must submit an Annual Return to the Australian Taxation Office to declare its assessible income including any claim for tax exempt income.

The ability of trustees to choose their ECPI method has now been moved to after 1 July 2021. Using the unsegregated approach in our form is nearly always more tax effective – particularly because pension assets are usually held in low-yielding conservative assets.

We provide a number of tools used for checking your SMSF’s tax and tax exempt income (including actuarial certificates) as follows:
