Your superannuation refers to the pension or collection of pension schemes you belong to. It is quite common that when people enter into employment they enter into a contributory pension scheme known as a self managed superannuation fund. This fund will help you prepare for your retirement by taking a portion of your earnings and putting it into a savings fund which is also added to by your employer. When you come to retire, this fund is used to pay your pension. It sounds simple, but like anything that involves taxes - it can be tricky too.
It is given this title because even though your contributions as well as those of your employer are automated, they are your responsibility and so making sure that you pay the right level of tax is also down to you. Even if you do decide to take on a tax specialist, the responsibility of the fund is yours so you need to make sure that your self managed superannuation fund is handled by someone who knows what they are doing.
Who you get to manage your fund is up to you but you should find a tax specialist that is aware of all of the rules and regulations that govern your fund and the tax around it. Find a reputable tax specialist that is not just experienced but accredited too. Make sure that your accountant has worked with self managed superannuation funds before and knows what is involved in ensuring your accounts are as they should be and abide by the appropriate guidelines. The penalty after all for failing to manage your self managed superannuation fund will fall to you and not your accountant.
