Does my SMSF need to register for GST?

When it comes to the rules and requirements around registration for the goods and services tax (GST), there’s a broad range of issues for trustees of self-managed super funds to consider.

It’s important for SMSF trustees to be aware of these rules and understand when they may be required to formally register their fund for GST purposes.

Whether that be on the initial establishment of the fund or at a later date when the fund’s position may have changed, SMSF trustees need a good understanding not just of the rules but also the process of registration.

If you use a professional to assist with your SMSF administration, they should let you know when a GST registration obligation arises.

    The difficulty comes not from identification of revenue, but in fact restrictions on the recovery of “financial supply” input tax !
