What information do you need to set up your SMSF Trustee Bundle?

Company may ONLY be the trustee of a superannuation fund

This product will register a company which is set up only to be the trustee of a superannuation fund - it is not allowed to do anything else. If you wish for the company to be able to do other things, you should use the Company Registration document package.

General Information for your Superannuation Trust (SMSF)

You can read about setting up an SMSF Trust through Cleardocs on the Superannuation Trust (SMSF) product page.

General Information for your Company Registration

Frequently Asked Legal Questions

Cleardocs is not a law firm. So as with all the legal material on this site, the answers to these "frequently asked legal questions" are provided by the law firm Maddocks. Cleardocs does not endorse those answers.

Can my SMSF have up to 6 individual trustees?

Legally, yes. However, more than 3 individual trustees is unwieldly and makes registration of assets in the name of the SMSF difficult (for example, brokers and ASX companies will not follow more than 3 people to be listed as owners of shares). Maddocks, therefore, does not recommend that a SMSF has more than 3 individual trustees. Instead of appointing more than 3 individual trustees of a SMSF, we recommend that you consider appointing a corporate trustee.

Do I need a Director Identification Number?

It is a requirement of law that directors now hold a Director Identification Number. If the product you are purchasing involves the creation of a company, creation of a corporate trustee or the appointment of a new director, then each director of the company/corporate trustee will need to verify their identity by applying for a director identification number (Director ID). Directors will retain the same Director ID even if they cease being a director, become a director of another company, change names or move interstate or overseas. Directors will not need to apply again or renew their applications.

If a person is appointed as a director:

  • between 1 November 2021 and 4 April 2022, they must apply for a Director ID within 28 days of appointment.
  • from 5 April 2022, they must apply for a Director ID prior to appointment.

For information on how to set up your Director ID, visit: https://www.abrs.gov.au/director-identification-number/apply-director-identification-number.
