Each SMSF must lodge an annual return with the ATO, which includes financial statements, member contributions, income tax reporting and audit confirmation. Trustees must also maintain up-to-date records for a minimum of five years.
Can an SMSF purchase commercial property?
Yes. SMSFs may invest in commercial property, provided the investment meets the sole purpose test and is permitted under the fund’s trust deed. Any property purchase must also comply with strict rules regarding arm’s length transactions and valuation requirements.
