Fort Knox Legal provides specialist superannuation and self managed superannuation fund (SMSF) advice in all areas of superannuation law.

Buying a property in a SMSF

The advantage of having an SMSF is based on four main elements:

One feature that may have great appeal and utility is the ability to purchase real estate using your SMSF. SMSFs, like all types of superannuation funds, often have a portfolio which may include direct investment in real estate. There are a number of ways in which a property can be acquired and owned by an SMSF.

If you are interested in purchasing property using your SMSF, detailed legal and financial advice will ensure that you take advantage of all the tax benefits and maximise your return.

We have a proven track record of assisting clients and accountants to resolve complex disputes with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

We work with, and support accountants in managing their clients' taxation affairs before disputes arise. We will review existing documentation and procedures and identify areas of non-compliance. We will assist if and when it's necessary, to negotiate with the ATO about voluntary disclosures and private rulings.

Once legal proceedings with the ATO have commenced or are imminent, we assist clients in adopting a strategic and well managed approach to the legal proceedings against the ATO.

If you are involved in legal proceedings with the ATO, or are considering an appeal from an ATO decision, Fort Knox Legal will be able to assist.
