There has been some discussion on a previous thread (see this post) about why it is the case that you can't have a minor child as a member of an SMSF with a corporate trustee.
This is the result of an anomaly in the legislation, and it will soon be amended by the Tax Laws Amendment 2011 (Measures No.9) Bill 2011 which is currently before the Federal Parliament. This will permit a parent or guardian to be a director of a corporate trustee in place of a minor child [an amendment will be made to section 17A(3)(c) of the Superannuation Industry Supervision Act 1993]. It is intended that this amendment will have retrospective effect which will be good news for the many funds who have accidentally been in breach.
