It's easy to set up new self-managed super funds (SMSF) for your clients in Corporate Admin.

All you need to do is answer a few easy questions, pick your trustees and members, 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 superannuation fund trust deed
  • Trustee consent forms
  • Letter to new trustees
  • Trustees first minutes of meeting
  • Member application forms
  • Notice to new members

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

There are some registration costs involved in establishing an SMSF, so make sure the fund meets all regulatory requirements before you generate these documents in Corporate Admin. These costs will be added to the monthly or quarterinvoice for the billing profile

These costs will be billed to you directly on generation of the for the billing profile selected in your Corporate Admin settings. It's up to you to recuperate this cost from your client.

Make sure you and your client are familiar with the legal, financial and tax requirements of an SMSF. If you're not sure, check the ATO website for information on establishing a fund.
