Does CGT apply to property owned by a self-managed superannuation fund?

• If you own investment property through a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) you will not have to pay CGT if you sell the property after you retire.
• If you sell the property through the SMSF then the rate of CGT you pay will be greatly reduced particularly if the SMSF has held the property for more than 12 months.
• The rules governing CGT and SMSFs can be complex so it is best to get professional advice tailored to your personal circumstances.
