Did you know your SMSF may be able to invest 100% in a related unit trust without breaching the 5% in-house asset limit?

The key is complying with Regulation 13.22C.

To qualify:
✔️ The trust must be a genuine unit trust
✔️ No borrowing allowed
✔️ No mortgages or charges over assets
✔️ No business activities
✔️ No investments in other entities
✔️ Related-party leases only for business real property on market terms

But there is a major warning: under Regulation 13.22D, a single breach can permanently taint the structure and cause serious SMSF compliance issues.

A powerful strategy—but one that must be structured and monitored carefully.

SMSF trustees — this is where most mistakes happen ⚠️

Transactions with related parties are heavily regulated, and even small errors can lead to serious compliance breaches.

From loans and property leasing to asset transfers and collectables — understanding the rules is essential.

👉 Remember: Your SMSF is for retirement, not present-day benefits.

Most SMSF trustees think their BDBN is locked in.

It’s not.

In many cases, it silently expires every 3 years—depending on the trust deed.

That means:
❗ No valid nomination
❗ Trustee discretion applies
❗ Benefits may not go where intended

The High Court (Hill v Zuda) made it clear—
BDBNs don’t have to lapse… but only if the deed allows it.

The real risk?
Many deeds still enforce lapsing rules.

✔️ Check the deed
✔️ Check the date
✔️ Check compliance

Don’t leave it too late.

Selling property in your SMSF after starting a pension?
It’s NOT always tax-free ❌

Segregation must be planned before the sale—and not every fund is eligible.

⚠️ Get it wrong, and the ATO could deny the tax benefit.

👉 Plan early. Document properly. Avoid costly mistakes.

Can your SMSF invest in crypto? Yes — but there are strict rules.

Many trustees are surprised to learn that you cannot transfer personal crypto into your SMSF, and the fund cannot buy crypto from members or related parties under the SIS Act.

If an SMSF wants to invest in cryptocurrency, the fund must purchase it directly using its own cash.

There are also borrowing restrictions, lending rules, and audit considerations that trustees need to understand before investing.

If you're considering crypto inside your SMSF, make sure you understand the compliance requirements first.

SMSF record-keeping isn’t just admin — it’s a statutory obligation under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

The decision in Fitzmaurice v Commissioner of Taxation made it clear: failure to maintain proper financial and governance records can lead to serious compliance action, including penalties and disqualification.

Poor documentation = real risk.

Strong governance and disciplined record retention protect both the fund and the trustee.
