Self Managed Superannuation Fund Penalty Regime
Course Details
Description
Penalty regime compliance is a critical aspect of managing a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) in Australia.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) enforces strict regulations to ensure that SMSF trustees comply with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SISA) and Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 (SISR). Failing to adhere to these regulations can lead to severe consequences, including administrative penalties, rectification directions, enforceable undertakings, trustee disqualification, asset freezing, and even civil or criminal charges.
