Its replacement and consequential amendments released on 19 February 2004 contains 10 pages of provisions and measures that will impact a wide range of transactions involving trusts.
Key issues to be considered include:
- the range of transactions involving trusts that under the new provisions can get caught within Division 7A
- exempt transactions permitted
- operative dates for the legislation
- anti-avoidance provisions within the Bill
- what qualifies as a loan repayment.
