Yes we are in pension phase. Don't really understand your question 'how did you arrange to nominate going into pension phase"?
I am led by an accountant instead of me leading accountant. I cannot fully understand all this complicated stuff and hence am at mercy of following accounting methods as recommended to us. I am to trust that it is all in our best interests which, I am sure it probably is (surely). I ask many questions, especially when I cannot get my head around something. Something new comes along - such as my not understanding reason for smsf tax bill and I realise my 'understanding' is abyssmal..!!
