Valuations for superannuation purposes
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) is of the view that SMSF / DIY Super funds should use market values for all valuation purposes.
All SMSF / DIY Super Funds are obligated to lodge an annual return with the ATO.
The ATO suggests that “the use of a valuer should be considered where the value of the asset represents a significant portion of the fund’s value or where the nature of the asset is likely to be difficult”.

Investing in property, via a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is an increasingly popular option for those managing their superannuation funds and currently across Australia there is approximately $820 billion worth of assets shared between 1.1 million investors.
Despite the popularity of this strategy, there are circumstances to be considered, perhaps most importantly the requirement of the Australian Tax Office that annual returns be lodged on a timely basis, and if you have property as part of your Self Managed Super Funds in Melbourne you will undoubtedly require the services of an experienced and independent SMSF specialist in Melbourne.
