So you like the sound of an SMSF and you may even have read a few blogs and articles but you want to know what the Tax Man thinks about them or more to the point what the ATO feels you should consider as part of your decision. Well now you can check out their suggestions via a new mobile and tablet app.

Here is their promo:

“The ATO app now helps you run your SMSF from your mobile device. Let’s face it, we run everything else from our phones, so why not get hands-on with our tax and super too? With information and assistance tailored to trustees, we’re making it easier for you to understand your responsibilities and manage your fund. Use checklists to plan your activities throughout the year and never forget important tasks. Get the latest news and updates straight from the source, check out new SMSF education videos and find out what other trustees are asking about in the FAQs.

We’ve also added a package for people considering if an SMSF is right for them called ‘Thinking about an SMSF’. This is designed to help people who are looking into setting up an SMSF understand what’s really involved and think about whether this major financial decision is right for them. ‘Thinking about an SMSF’ is also a good refresher for new and existing trustees with plenty of information about responsibilities and important things to consider.”
