What changes to trustee are available?

You can create any of the following changes to trustees in a Fund:
  • Remove or retire individual trustees and appoint a corporate trustee (need corporate trustee in existence first)
  • Remove or retire a corporate trustee and appoint individual trustees
  • Remove or retire an individual trustee and replace them with another individual trustee
  • Add an individual trustee (without removing a party as long as the fund continues to meet the definition of a SMSF)
  • Remove or retire an individual trustee (without adding a party as long as the fund continues to meet the definition of a SMSF)

If an individual or entity is removed or added as a trustee of the fund, what additional reporting is required?

Where an individual is added or removed, you will be required to report this information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regarding their position as trustee or director of the corporate trustee, along with their membership status within 28 days of the change.  Failure to comply could result in administrative penalties being applied by the Regulator.
Where a trustee company is appointed or removed, you will also need to report this information (including changes to directors) to the Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) within 28 days of the change.  Failure to comply will result in late lodgement penalties for the company.
