    Hi all,

    Is there anyone on this site with knowledge of SMSF rules applying to Austalians living overseas.

    I will be moving overseas with my wife within the next 6 months for maybe 1 year or indefinately.

    My question is,can I as one of 2 trustees (my wife and Myself) still operate our SMSF overseas, we will be both retired in our 50's and the SMSF will still be under E-Superfund with them collecting annual fee and their auditors checking annually.We may not add to the SMSF, but be able to access the fund over the age of 60 sometime in the future.

    From what I understand a trustee must have central management and control (CM&C) ordinarily from Australia, even though I do everything from my PC here in Aus, why can't this still apply from overseas.

    It has been difficult getting accurate and consistent answers from ATO and financial/accountants because of vagueness and grey areas.

    Thanks
