Definition of Self Managed Superannuation Fund - Directors Not to be Treated as Employees

The Government has amended the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 to clarify the meaning of employee for the purposes of the new definition of self managed superannuation fund. The regulations were prepared following consultations with peak bodies in the superannuation industry.

Specifically, the amending regulations will allow the directors of an employer sponsor to be members of the same self managed superannuation fund.
