Prepare to lodge your SAR by 28 February

Some SMSFs will need to lodge their SMSF annual return (SAR) by 28 February 2025. Check to see if you need to lodge.

Last updated 27 November 2024

You may need to lodge your SMSF annual return (SAR) by 28 February 2025.

Failing to lodge your SAR on time can result in the compliance status of your SMSF on Super Fund LookupExternal Link being changed to 'regulation details removed' which may result in rollovers and employer contributions not being made to the fund.

If your SMSF had assets, such as super contributions or other investments as of 30 June 2024, you will need to lodge a SMSF annual return for the 2023-24 financial year.

You should refer to the 2024 SAR instructions or contact a registered tax professional as soon as possible if you need help lodging your SAR.

If your fund does not have any assets, you need to either make a return not necessary request or cancel your fund's registration if you no longer wish to have a SMSF.

You can review our Trustee reporting obligations checklist or visit our SMSF support services for help.
