Bamford's Case - Watch out for the Practical Implications

Source: New South Wales

Published Date: 29 Oct 2009

 
The Full Federal Court decision in Bamford's case represents a landmark decision in the area of taxation of trusts and is probably the most important decision handed down by the courts so far this year. It also has very significant practical implications in connection with the drafting of discretionary trust deeds and trustees' resolutions in relation to the distribution of trust income and capital. This event was aimed at those involved in the drafting and/or reviewing of discretionary trust deeds and/or trustees' resolutions.

This event covered:

  • proportionate approach v quantum approach - which one is correct?
  • distribution of capital gains and other categories of income - is this still possible?
  • drafting of trust deeds - what to watch out for?
  • wording of trustees' resolutions.
