An SMSF can give you greater control over your retirement savings, but that control also comes with responsibility.

Many SMSF mistakes are not deliberate. They happen because a contribution is made without checking the limits, a property contract is signed before the right structure is in place, or advice is sought after a transaction has already taken place.

The challenge is that some SMSF mistakes can be difficult, costly or even impossible to unwind.

In our latest article, we look at five common SMSF mistakes we see and, importantly, what trustees can do to avoid them.

From contributions and property purchases to related-party transactions, valuations and the importance of getting advice before you act, a little planning can go a long way.

If you are considering a significant transaction involving your SMSF, speak with your adviser before proceeding.

CIBs Superannuation Services Director Deepak Sachdev highlights five of the most costly mistakes when it comes to SMSF.

An SMSF can provide greater control and flexibility over your retirement savings. But with that control comes responsibility, and getting the details wrong can have significant consequences.

The recent budget announcements regarding changes to the capital gains tax have now passed both Houses of Parliament and are awaiting Royal Assent before becoming law.

In order to get the legislation passed the Federal Government made a deal with the Greens to restrict Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) from acquiring residential property through the use of limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBAs).

This marks a fundamental shift in how SMSFs can invest in residential property.
