This probably has the best approach to investing

Capture upside hopefully turbocharging it
Avoid downside

Of course with international shares you have 3 potential incomes
Dividends
Capital gains on sale share price
Foreign exchange gains

Voila 7-8% pa
However the volatility of year to year performance is reality
Unlike the political posturing over avoiding any recession which is part and parcel of normal

A question
What are the practicalities of paying an SMSF tax bill to ATO? Won't apply to me until next Feb

Do you draw down the sum from the SMSF and then pay via normal channels?
Or
Do you need to pay ATO directly from the SMSF

I realise there are all sorts of rules around SMSF payments so if the former is it allowed to use a CC, processor etc once you have an approved drawdown? (The ATO site does seem to indicate you can pay by CC)
