Choosing Wisely: Navigating Family Trust Elections

In this webinar we will delve into the intricacies of Family Trust Elections (FTEs). Through the exploration of real-life case studies, we'll uncover practical tips and potential pitfalls associated with both making and managing FTEs. Our discussion will cover:

  • Understanding the motivations behind opting for an FTE and scenarios that may lead trustees to reassess their decisions.

  • Examination of FTE-related issues as identified by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) during their reviews.

  • Clarification on the necessity of an Interposed Entity Election (IEE) for receiving trust distributions without triggering Family Trust Distribution Tax (FTDT).

  • Discussion on the flexibility to revoke an FTE when its original purpose becomes irrelevant and adapting to evolving circumstances.

  • Assessment of the impact of a test individual's demise on a FTE.

  • Evaluation of potential implications for the sale of entities subject to FTEs or IEEs.

  • Exploration of inadvertent triggers of FTDT and potential avenues for reversal.
