STAMP DUTIES ACT 1923 - SECT 94

94—Related entities

        (1)         Two relevant entities are "related entities" if—

            (a)         1 has a direct interest in the other; or

            (b)         a series of such relationships can be traced between them through another or other related entities ("intermediate entities ).

        (2)         If a relevant entity is related to another relevant entity by a relationship traced through an intermediate entity or intermediate entities, the relevant entity's proportionate interest in the other is calculated by multiplying the relevant fractions together and expressing the result as a percentage.

Example—

Entity A (a listed company) holds a 75% proportionate interest in entity B (a private unit trust scheme) which in turn holds a 50% proportionate interest in entity C (a private company). In this case the proportionate interest of entity A in entity C (insofar as it is traced through entity B) is 37.5%.
