Despite the lingering possibility of the proposed new Division 296 tax being introduced, recently released ATO statistics point toward a resilient and mature SMSF sector – which continues to grow and evolve.

In fact, in the five years to 30 June 2024:

  • the number of SMSFs increased by 11%, an average of 2.2% per year, and
  • on average 27,000 funds entered the sector annually, and over 2,000 per month.
