Happy New Financial Year!

The rules around superannuation appear to be ever changing and this year is no different. We have detailed the major changes below and provided links to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for more information.

We welcome you to send us your 2021 records once all information required becomes available. We note that many of our SMSF clients have investments in managed funds and fund managers will likely not release the 2021 tax statements until late September 2021.

Lodgement Due Dates

• Most SMSFs have a lodgement due date of 15^th May 2022.
• Newly registered SMSFs have a lodgement due date of 28^th February 2022.
• If your 2020 SMSF annual return was lodged late, the 2021 return will have a due date of 1 November 2021.
