Sladen Snippet - Disclaimer of an interest in a trust – can this be tax effective?

In the April 2016 Edition of the Taxation Institute’s journal ‘Taxation in Australia’, appeared an article entitled ‘Disclaimer of an interest in a trust – can this be tax effective?’ written by Sam Campbell, Will Monotti and Ashleigh Eynaud all of Sladen Legal.

This article concludes the tax effectiveness of a disclaimer by a beneficiary of their interest in a discretionary trust will be dependent on the nature, and their knowledge, of the interest and the timing of any such disclaimer.

This is a complicated area of tax and trust law and is not something that should be even considered without first seeking legal advice.
