If you plan to leave your superannuation to your children (such as an adult child), tax will be paid on the benefits when you die. This is because, unlike dependent beneficiaries (such as a spouse or child under 18), adult children have to pay 16.5% on the taxable element of any payment received. Through the use of estate planning strategies it may be possible to reduce this tax liability to zero. These types of stategies should be considered if you are close to retirement or have already retired and wish your superannuation benefits to be paid to your non-dependent beneficiaries in the future.

Deciding to establish your own SMSF is an important step in taking control of your retirement and financial future. Taking on the role of trustee of your SMSF, as required under legislation, brings with it a number of burdensome administration and compliance obligations. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is charged with overseeing the administration of SMSFs and ensuring that Trustees comply with all of the requirements of running a fund. This can be very difficult and time consuming for you to manage.
