There are several trust laws and legislative requirements for setting up a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF). Typically you need to:

• obtain a trust deed
• appoint trustees
• sign a trustee declaration (NAT 71089)
• elect to become a regulated fund
• obtain a tax file number (TFN)
• obtain an Australian business number (ABN)
