Effective trust deeds and trust resolutions
Source: Taxation In Australia Journal Article
Published Date: 1 May 2012
Drafting effective trust resolutions to take account of the interface between taxation law and trust law has never been a straightforward exercise. That said, the situation has become increasingly more challenging in recent years following significant judicial decisions and the Commissioner's release of numerous practice statements, decision impact statements and other pronouncements. Treasury has now sought to intervene by developing the new trust streaming measures, and further large-scale legislative reform is now proposed. In this climate of significant uncertainty, the task remains to provide practical solutions to clients to these complex issues.
This article is intended to provide some useful and practical observations on the drafting of effective trust deeds and trust resolutions. A number of case studies are provided to illustrate the key principles. The new trust streaming measures have been addressed in some detail, given their significance for the 2012, 2013 and possibly later income years.
