If you registered your SMSF prior to the 2025 income year and you have appointed a tax professional, your SAR may have been due on 15 May. You can refer to our key lodgment due dates for more information.
If your 2025 SMSF annual return hasn't been lodged then you'll need to contact your tax professional immediately to arrange lodgment as it is now overdue.
If you fail to lodge your SMSF annual return on time compliance actions may apply. Not all SMSFs have the same lodgment due date, so check which due date applies to your SMSF. Failure to lodge by the due date can result in penalties and the loss of your SMSFs tax concessions.
If your SAR is more than two weeks overdue, and you haven't contacted us, we may change the compliance status of your SMSF on Super Fund Lookup to Regulation details removed. This status will remain until any overdue lodgments are brought up to date.
If you have a status of Regulation details removed, APRA funds will not be able to roll over member benefits and employers may not be able to make super guarantee payments to the fund's members.
If you're an SMSF trustee or professional and need help visit Help and support for SMSFs for more information.
