Tackling trust losses

  • Sladen Legal 707 Collins Street Melbourne, VIC, 3000 Australia (map)

It has become quite common practice to make family trust and interposed entity elections to deal with carry forward losses and franked distributions without considering the impact on the future of the group. Particularly in these turbulent times, advisers can be caught off guard on issues which can arise when these elections are made without foresight. This session will consider how an incorrect decision or nomination of test individual could affect the options of the group in the future and how to deal with them. The session will examine:

  • FTEs, IEEs and their revocation;

  • family trust distributions tax; and

  • entities with losses with extended family ownership

Who should watch

Financial planners, tax agents, accountants, lawyers and those interested in trusts and/or the treatment of losses for tax purposes

Level of expertise

This webinar is for persons with some knowledge or interest in trusts and/or the treatment of losses for tax purposes and looking to improve their knowledge.
