What Melbourne trustees pay to establish an SMSF
SMSF establishment is federal, so there is no Victorian stamp duty on the SMSF deed itself. The two cost levers are individual vs corporate trustee, and whether you need bare-trust documentation for an LRBA property purchase.
For most Melbourne trustees, the corporate trustee path is the better long-term value — cleaner asset separation, easier member changes, and significantly lower per-trustee penalty exposure if the ATO ever issues an administrative penalty.
