SMSFs must lodge an SMSF annual return and pay a supervisory levy. For the 2023–24 income year, they must include the levy amount in their income tax calculation and make their payment (if required) using standard payment methods.
Unless the fund is being wound up, we cannot process returns for SMSFs that have no assets. Do not lodge these returns or pay the supervisory levy.
