Trust distributions considerations
Recent court cases and ATO guidance products present additional challenges for trustees when considering how to distribute trust income.
ATO finalises guidance on the anti-avoidance provision dealing with trust distributions (section 100A)
The ATO has finalised draft guidance on the application of section 100A to trust entitlements, staying close to the original released earlier this year. The finalisation comes despite two cases (both for and against the Commissioner) currently on appeal to the Full Federal Court. The guidance provides a very stringent view by the ATO on what may fall within the scope of section 100A. This may create significant risks with respect to trust distributions that will need to be managed very carefully.
