Self-Managed Superannuation Funds Valuations

image

According to the Australian Taxation Office, every year you need to value your Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) assets and provide supporting evidence to your auditor.

A key responsibility SMSF trustees have every income year is valuing your fund's assets at 'market value'.

You should use a qualified independent valuer if:

  • the value of a fund asset represents a significant proportion of the fund's value
  • the nature of the asset indicates that the valuation is likely to be complex or difficult.

Property values can be affected by a change in market conditions, or events such as a natural disaster, global pandemic (such as COVID-19) or rising interest rates. Furthermore, if an external valuation has become materially inaccurate, or the value of an asset has changed significantly since it was last valued, you should no longer rely on it. You should obtain a new valuation or use other forms of evidence to support your determination of the asset's market value.
