Patricia Holdings makes setting up a Superannuation Trustee Company simple. This company type can be ordered online or by completing a manual order form and returning it to us by email.

This type of proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) company is registered with ASIC as a company whose sole purpose is to act as the trustee of a regulated superannuation fund. A reduced rate on the annual fee payable to ASIC is applicable to this type of company as long as the constitution:

  • prohibits distribution of the company’s income or property to its members; and
  • specifies that the sole purpose of the company is to act as the trustee of a regulated superannuation fund within the meaning of section 19 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

SMSF’s are, as the name suggests, self-managed. This means that all eligible members of the super fund must be appointed directors of the trustee company. There is no requirement on who should be the members of the trustee company although best practice would be that all directors are also members.

If you would like to order a SMSF package which includes the trustee company and the superannuation trust deed for a discounted fee, you can order the package here.

How long until I receive my documents?
Through our website, these companies can be incorporated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our “automatic” system typically incorporates a company via our direct link to ASIC and delivers the company register as a PDF by email in less than 10 minutes.

We are able to deliver our full service couriered product to the Sydney metropolitan area within about 5 hours of receiving an order. Orders received before 12 midday are usually delivered the same day. Documents being sent to Brisbane and Melbourne will be sent by overnight courier or express post for next day delivery (order must be received by 2pm for delivery the next day), and within a couple of days to Perth and regional areas.

This type of Pty Ltd company is registered with ASIC as a special purpose company whose sole purpose is to act as trustee of a regulated superannuation fund.

Share Classes
A share is a unit of ownership providing the shareholder with equity in the company. Due to the limitations placed on a Super Trustee company by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and ASIC’s Regulation 3(f) of the Corporations (Review Fees) Regulations 2003, restrictions are in place on these company types relating to payment of dividends and voting. It is suggested that Super Trustee companies be registered with only ordinary shares to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Constitution
Generally speaking, a company constitution is a document that specifies the rules governing the relationship between, and activities of, the company and its shareholders. Patricia Holdings’ constitutions are expertly drafted and regularly reviewed by a top tier law firm to maximise good governance and effectiveness. They comply with ASIC’s special purpose regulations ensuring the company will be eligible for the reduced ASIC annual review fee.

Consent Forms
Per Section 117 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a company is required to maintain written consents and agreements of its officeholders and members as part of its record keeping responsibilities.

You can print off Consent templates here. Please ensure these are completed prior to incorporating your company and keep them for filing in your company register. You do not need to provide these to us.
