It's easy to set up new discretionary trust for your clients in Corporate Admin.

All you need to do is answer a few easy questions, pick your settlor, appointor, trustees and beneficiaries, and you're just about done!

We use the information you enter to provide you with pre-filled electronic copies of all the documents you need to set up the fund, including:

A trust deed

You'll also have the opportunity to apply for an ABN, TFN and register for GST in the same process.

Make sure you and your client are familiar with the legal, financial and tax obligations of an SMSF, and that the SMSF meets all regulatory requirements.

There are some costs involved in setting up a an SMSF. These costs will be included on the invoice for your MYOB billing profile, on generation of the SMSF establishment documents.
