Common errors SMSF trustees make with their annual returns

Each year, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) puts together a list of the most common errors made by self-managed super fund (SMSF) trustees when compiling their annual returns.

This information is extremely valuable as it provides an insight into mistakes the regulator commonly sees and is on the lookout for. Avoiding these issues will help ensure your SMSF’s annual return (SAR) is processed without delay and hopefully with no added scrutiny.
