Self Managed Academy

A practical resource for managing money, investments, structures and tax. Each topic includes short explainers, examples, and checklists you can use straight away.

You should never trust a single resource for all your information, situations and rules can change causing information to become out dated and inaccurate. References and further reading are provided at the bottom of each academy page. The ATO provide great resources and explanations of how rules work, and if unsure you should always search the ATO first.

Self Managed provides general information only which you need to personalise for your own situation. If you are unsure get professional advice.
