Recent court cases and ATO guidance products present additional challenges for trustees when considering how to distribute trust income.
In March 2023, Treasury released an exposure draft legislation for public comment on the new thin capitalisation rules. We made a comprehensive submission in response to the exposure draft legislation.
The Government will implement new thin capitalisation rules that will operate from 1 July 2023. The proposed new rules will apply to deny interest deductions for taxpayers with foreign shareholders, or foreign operations, or that are part of multinational groups.
Treasury has released exposure draft legislation to overhaul the thin capitalisation rules for non-financial entities. The proposal will replace the current asset-based 60% safe harbour test with a fixed ratio earnings limit (which will limit net debt deductions to 30% of EBITDA).
The ATO has finalised draft guidance on the application of section 100A to trust entitlements, staying close to the original released earlier this year.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.
