I have ordered an SMSF but can't find my SPIN number - where can I get this?

The Superannuation Product Identification Number (SPIN) was used for surcharge reporting purposes.

To apply for one, the fund needed to lodge a form and pay the relevant fee. The form could be obtained from the APIR Web site (www.apir.com.au).

However, since the superannuation surcharge has been abolished a SPIN should no longer be necessary (at least for new funds).
