If you’re receiving an account-based pension from your SMSF, there’s a minimum amount you need to withdraw each year. This amount is worked out using a percentage based on your age and your pension account balance as at 1 July 2024-or on a pro-rata basis if you started your pension partway through the 2025 financial year.

It’s really important to make sure you take out at least the minimum by 30 June, otherwise there could be some unwanted tax consequences.

If we look after your SMSF, keep an eye out for your Minimum Pension Drawdown letter-we’ll be sending it to you in the next couple of weeks!
