SMSF Requirements

Self-managed super fund property rules

You can only buy property through your SMSF if you comply with the rules.

The property must:

• meet the 'sole purpose test' of solely providing retirement benefits to fund members

• not be acquired from a related party of a member

• not be lived in by a fund member or any fund members' related parties

• not be rented by a fund member or any fund members' related parties

See the Australian Taxation Office website for more on SMSF rules.
