This question ascertains if you have changed your entity status from general to financial during 2020–21.
The thin capitalisation provisions categorise non-ADI entities as either:
- a kind of financial entity (covered by code 2, 4, 6 or 10) or
- a kind of general entity (covered by code 1, 3, 5 or 9).
See the above table of thin capitalisation entity types.
If you have changed your entity type for thin capitalisation from general to financial during 2020–21, answer Yes at A item 33.
For more information about the different types of thin capitalisation entities, see the provisions in the Non-authorised deposit-taking institution (Non-ADI) table.
