Welcome to Sunshine Press.
Sunshine Press was established in June 2010 by Troy and Monica Rule to enable the publication of the book: “The Self Managed Super Handbook – Superannuation Law for Self Managed Superannuation Funds in Plain English” written by Monica.
Monica has been working in the Superannuation Business Line of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for the past 14 years. It was while performing her roles as a technical adviser and a compliance officer, she came to realise that not many people were aware of the superannuation law when setting up their own Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF).
Although individuals can rely on their accountant or financial adviser to help set up and operate their SMSF, the ultimate responsibility and accountability rests with the individuals as trustees of their own SMSF. It is the trustee who may be prosecuted for any contravention of the superannuation law. It is their SMSF that would lose the tax concession and half of the SMSF’s assets if enforcement action is taken on their SMSF by the ATO.
Monica has presented many in-house training courses to the staff of the ATO as well as workshops for professionals. She has presented SMSF workshops at TAFE colleges in Western Australia. She has received a great deal of positive feedback from clients on her ability to explain the superannuation law in simple, easy to understand terms.
