Me and my wife want to start SMSF and buy a business. My question is, is my wife allowed to run the business and pay herself a wage in doing so?

While the law does not expressly prevent a SMSF from owning a business, the rules on

member-related transactions make it so difficult that it is nearly impossible.

Best to get proper advice from a SMSF specialist adviser before you do anything.
