AMIT tax schedule

Last updated 14 February 2022

You must lodge at least one AMIT tax schedule with your tax return.

An AMIT may make an irrevocable election to treat separate classes of interests in the trust as separate AMITs. If the trustee has chosen to apply separate AMIT treatment, you must complete one AMIT tax schedule for each class. For detailed instructions on the AMIT tax schedule, see Completing the AMIT tax schedule.

Capital gains tax (CGT) schedule

You must lodge a Capital gains tax (CGT) schedule 2021 with the AMIT's tax return if the AMIT’s total 2020–21:

  • capital gains are greater than $10,000, or
  • capital losses are greater than $10,000.

CGT schedule for separate AMIT classes

Multi-class AMITs electing for classes to be treated as separate AMITs must lodge a separate CGT schedule for each class of interest that has total capital gains or losses that exceeds the threshold amounts. Do not lodge a CGT schedule for the multi-class AMIT as a whole, even if in aggregate the total capital gains or losses of the AMIT meet the thresholds.

The CGT schedule has fields to allow AMITs to separately identify the class to which the CGT schedule relates, and capture certain class-related CGT information. These new fields are described below.

Name of AMIT class

Enter the unique name and number for each separate AMIT class. This must match the name that you used on the AMIT tax schedule for that class. This ensures that each class can be easily identified.

We recommend that the name and number of an AMIT class remain consistent in subsequent years, and that you avoid reusing the name if the class ceases.

Example

An AMIT has an Australian equities class and a foreign equities class which it elects to treat as separate AMITs. A separate AMIT tax schedule is prepared for each, showing the names of the AMIT classes as:

1 – Australian equities class, and

2 – Foreign equities class.

A separate CGT schedule will also need to be completed for each of the AMIT classes provided that the AMIT class has a capital gain or loss greater than $10,000.
