On 8 December, the ATO released its finalised guidance documents on the application of section 100A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), which concerns the tax treatment of income distributions from trust.
The seminar will explore the recent changes to the Duties Act 1997 (NSW) to introduce changes in beneficial ownership in dutiable property and trust acknowledgments as dutiable transactions, including the guidance issued by Revenue NSW to date.
The ATO has released four new pieces of guidance that demonstrate a more aggressive position in relation to the taxation of distributions from discretionary trusts to related companies and family members. The approaches set out in these documents represent a change in ATO policy and indicate that the ATO will be focusing on these areas in the future.
Importantly, the ATO looks set to attack what many accountants may consider to be regular tax planning for trust income. Therefore it is critical that all controllers of trusts, accountants and tax advisers understand the ATO's new approach.
