Currently, a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) can remain an Australian superannuation fund even where its central management and control is temporarily outside of Australia for up to two years. However, this timeframe is too short in the context of modern work arrangements. Propose the exemption be increased to allow a fund's central management and control to be temporarily outside Australia for up to four years.
