Click here for a paper discussing the taxation treatment of options, prepared by Patrick Broughan, Taxation Partner of Ernst and Young, Melbourne. As this paper is updated from time to time as tax laws change, please refer to the ASX website, at www.asx.com.au/options (under Tax in the “Trading Information” section) for the latest version, if the link does not work.
Send it to your accountant if they are not sure if options can be used by SMSFs or how they are treated for tax.
