Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) In this Division:
"exempt income" , in relation to a trust estate, means the exempt income of the trust estate calculated as if the trustee were a taxpayer who was a resident.
Note: See also Division 54 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (in particular, the provisions in section 54‑70 about trusts), which provides a tax exemption for certain payments under structured settlements and structured orders.
"net income" , in relation to a trust estate, means the total assessable income of the trust estate calculated under this Act as if the trustee were a taxpayer in respect of that income and were a resident, less all allowable deductions, except deductions under Schedule 2G and except also, in respect of any beneficiary who has no beneficial interest in the corpus of the trust estate, or in respect of any life tenant, the deductions allowable under Division 36 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in respect of such of the tax losses of previous years as are required to be met out of corpus.
A trust may be required to work out its net income in a special way by Division 266 or 267 of Schedule 2F.
"non-assessable non-exempt income" , in relation to a trust estate, means the non-assessable non-exempt income of the trust estate calculated as if the trustee were a taxpayer who was a resident.
(2) For the purposes of this Division, a trust estate shall be taken to be a resident trust estate in relation to a year of income if:
(a) a trustee of the trust estate was a resident at any time during the year of income; or
(b) the central management and control of the trust estate was in Australia at any time during the year of income.
(3) In this Division, a trust estate that is not a resident trust estate in relation to a year of income is referred to as a non‑resident trust estate in relation to that year of income.
