SMSF Administration Transfer

Transferring your Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) annual administration from your current service provider to SuperEasy® is simple. If you have decided to do so, all you need to do is fill out the application on our website and pay for the service. We will then send you further instructions with detailed list of documentation required to enable us to process the tax return and audit of your fund.

There are no additional charges involved in transferring your fund from your previous service provider to SuperEasy® providing that we obtain from your previous service provider accounting files including: Members Statements, Investment Summary Report and Detailed Schedule of Assets, in a format that we can download into our accounting software*. We will however require additional documentation from you, now that you are becoming our client, such as the previous year financial statements and tax return. This will be the starting point for our accountants. We will also, with your permission, contact your previous service provider and advise them of your decision to appoint SuperEasy® for the processing of the annual administration of your self managed super fund. This is a common and professional practice in the industry.

As a part of the Superannuation Industry Supervision Act (SISA) and Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regulations, we will also require your original trust deed and any relevant deed amendments, so that our auditors can check whether your trust deed is in accordance with the current legislation. Checking the trust deed is part of SuperEasy® annual administration service and is an intricate part of the audit process.

If your self managed superannuation fund is in operation for a number of years, given the numerous changes in the legislation that have determined the calculations relevant to the members balances over the years, we recommend that a members balance review is performed. For a symbolic fee, our accountants will check the members’ balances, making sure that the members’ entitlements are correct. This will become extremely relevant once your fund enters the pension phase, and the fund starts paying benefits.

When you transfer your SMSF and appoint SuperEasy® for the annual administration:

  • You can keep your existing broking, bank or any other accounts already servicing your fund.
  • SuperEasy® does NOT need direct access to any of your accounts.
  • SuperEasy® will not condition you to open any new account.
  • The address of your super fund will remain on the ATO portal as your residential address and not SuperEasy® address, therefore you are always in control of your fund.
  • All your other service providers to your fund should have your residential or postal address as the main contact address, this remains your responsibility.

If you have any questions relating to transferring your annual administration to us, please call us on 1300 554 333.

** Fees for our services

SuperEasy®'s costs are time based and depend on the amount of work required to complete a specific task. That's why, whenever possible, we base our charges on the number of investments. Other factors, which could influence our fees, are the completeness and correctness of the records and documents that you provide. Let us know if your fund has a large number of transactions per investments, or does " Day trading". Day trading is a practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. Additional fee might apply for day trading of investments. While we will do our best to provide the accurate estimate based on the client’s input at the time of quoting, the final price will depend on the actual work performed and time spent on processing of the fund. Please note that all work is carried out by experienced, superannuation specialists and is fully covered by the appropriate professional indemnity insurance and meets CPA Quality Assurance Standards APES320 and APES325.
