It is important to get all the SMSF affairs up to date with the ATO.
In general, the important lodgment and payment due dates for SMSF Annual Returns are:
- 31 October: If the SMSF have one or more prior year returns outstanding, lodgment is due on 31 October in the same year.
- 28 February: The newly established SMSFs are required to lodge the first annual return and pay any tax due, by 28 February of the following year.
- 15 May: If the SMSF Annual Returns are not required to be lodged earlier the due date is generally on the 15 May of the following year.
