Published on 01 Sep 10 by "TAXATION IN AUSTRALIA" JOURNAL ARTICLE

This article examines whether the vesting date of a trust can be extended to prevent the trust terminating and thus prevent adverse tax consequences arising. The rationale for the "rule against perpetuities", and its relevance for Australian trusts in 2010, is discussed. Consideration is given to the possibility of "domiciling" a trust in SA (where the rule against perpetuities was abolished in 1996) and avoiding the need for a vesting date.
