How Much Does ESUPERFUND Cost?

For a new SMSF, the current public fee structure separates establishment, the first financial year, ongoing administration and any company-trustee cost.

SMSF Establishment
FREE

ESUPERFUND attends to the SMSF establishment requirements listed in the New SMSF Setup Fee information. Company and third-party costs can still apply.

First Financial Year Annual Administration Fee
FREE

For eligible new clients who proceed with setup and activation, the first financial year runs from establishment to the next 30 June.

Ongoing Annual Administration Fee
$1,599 incl. GST

Per fund, per financial year after the first financial year. The current charging basis does not vary with investment type, transaction volume, fund size or member count within ESUPERFUND's service limits. The fee is reviewed annually.

Company Trustee Setup Fee
Separate where applicable

If a new company is required to act as trustee, company establishment and applicable ASIC/company costs are separate from FREE SMSF Setup. Please view our Fee Schedule for details of applicable fees and additional costs.

The Annual Administration Fee is a fixed charging basis, not a permanently fixed dollar amount. ESUPERFUND's terms provide for the fee to be reviewed annually. It is also not the total cost of operating an SMSF.

Common questions about ESUPERFUND

Is SMSF setup really free with ESUPERFUND?

ESUPERFUND currently charges no ESUPERFUND fee for the SMSF Establishment service. Separate costs may still apply, including the ATO Annual Supervisory Levy, Company Trustee Setup Fee where applicable, ASIC company charges and Investment Fees.

Is the first year of ESUPERFUND administration free?

The First Financial Year ESUPERFUND Annual Administration Fee is FREE for eligible new clients who proceed with setup and activation of the SMSF account. A financial year ends on 30 June, so the first financial year is not necessarily 12 months.

What does the $1,599 annual fee include?

The current $1,599 including GST fee covers ESUPERFUND's Annual Tax Return and Compliance Services and Ongoing Administration, Technology and Support Services, including Annual Financial Statements, Member Statements, Trustee Resolutions and Minutes, Annual Income Tax Return preparation and lodgement, independent annual audit coordination, Client Portal access and ongoing administration workflows.

Does the annual fee change with investment type, fund size or transaction numbers?

The current charging basis does not vary with investment type, transaction volume, fund size or member count within ESUPERFUND's service limits. The fee is reviewed annually.
