There are some significant changes that took effect from 1 July 2017 in Super. If your pension balance is over the applied transfer balance cap, you will need to make a request to convert the excess amount from your pension accounts back to accumulation phase.
If you have utilised the Transfer Balance Cap for pensions ($1.9M after 1 July 2023), we will automatically reset the asset cost base in a most tax effective manner to take advantage of the CGT relief.

Please try to send all files in Excel or CSV format. This will speed up the processing time significantly. Where there’s excessive data entry (also referred to as a shoe-box audit) we will have to charge an entering and processing fee to the account.
Please email these documents to us at: admin@superannuationwarehouse.com.au. Alternatively, documents can be mailed to our postal address.
Forward all the documents you have on your Fund. If we have any queries or there are any documents missing, we’ll get in touch with you.
Complete Information
In order for us to carry out your SMSF accounting efficiently, it is important that the information you send us is complete and accurate. If we have to ask for information after the accountants have started processing your SMSF, there may be an additional charge.
Our preference is to have Trustees complete and sign the year-end checklist to ensure that they understand their responsibilities for reliable, accurate and complete accounting records supplied to us. If the year-end checklist is not provided to us, we will work on the assumption that the information supplied to us is complete and accurate.
As part of the Trustee’s obligations, there is a requirement to keep invoices and source documents for a minimum of 5 years.
Insurance Consideration
Trustees are required to consider life insurance as part of their SMSF investment strategy. For more information about taking out an insurance policy, visit our insurance page.
