Quarterly TBAR lodgment reminder

SMSFs must report certain events that affect a member's transfer balance account ('TBA') quarterly using transfer balance account reporting ('TBAR').

These events must be reported even if the member's total superannuation balance is less than $1 million.

Editor: TBA events include starting or commuting a retirement phase pension.

TBARs for the March quarter are due on 28 April 2025 and SMSFs that do not report on time may be subject to compliance action and penalties, and the member's TBA may be adversely affected.

Note that SMSFs are not required to lodge if there were no TBA events during the quarter.
