Subdivision 842-I - Investment manager regime

Guide to Subdivision 842-I
SECTION 842-200 What this Subdivision is about  

This Subdivision includes rules about the taxation of certain foreign funds with investment income or losses which are treated as being attributable to a permanent establishment in Australia solely because the fund retains the services of an Australian based agent, manager or service provider.

Where the conditions in this Subdivision are satisfied:

• returns or gains relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR income) are non-assessable non-exempt income or disregarded; and

• deductions and losses relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR deductions) are disregarded; and

• capital gains relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR capital gains) are disregarded; and

• capital losses relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR capital losses) are disregarded.

These amounts are also disregarded if a foreign resident beneficiary of a trust, or a foreign resident partner in a partnership, receives them (or amounts attributable to them) through one or more interposed trusts or partnerships.

SECTION 842-225 Treatment of trustee of an IMR foreign fund  
Objects

The object of this section is to ensure that the following provisions interact appropriately with the tax concessions mentioned in paragraphs 842-210(1)(a) and (b) , paragraphs 842-215(1)(a) and (b) and paragraphs 842-220(1)(a) and (b) :

(a) subsection 115-220(2) ;

(b) section 115-225 ;

(c) section 98 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ;

(d) section 99E of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 .

Note:

Division 6 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 , Division 115 of Part 3-1 of this Act, and all other provisions of those Acts apply to the trustee of an IMR foreign fund, subject to the modifications in this section.

Applying subsection 115-220(2)

842-225(2)
For the purposes of applying subsection 115-220(2) to the beneficiary:

(a) disregard a * capital gain of the * IMR foreign fund to the extent the capital gain is an * IMR capital gain ; and

(b) disregard an * IMR capital loss of the IMR foreign fund for the purposes of determining the amount of the capital gain remaining after applying steps 1 to 4 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) ; and

(c) disregard a * net capital loss of the IMR foreign fund to the extent that it is attributable to an IMR capital loss for the purposes of determining how much of a capital gain that is not an IMR capital gain remains after applying steps 1 to 4 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) .

Note:

The effect of this subsection is that the increase to the assessable amount which occurs as a result of section 115-220 is calculated with reference to the capital gains of the IMR foreign fund that are not IMR capital gains or amounts referable to IMR capital gains (rather than by calculating the increase with reference to all capital gains of the fund).

Modifications to section 115-225

842-225(3)
For the purposes of applying section 115-225 in respect of section 115-220 , make the following assumptions:

(a) replace the references in section 115-225 to the net income of the trust estate with references to the * non-IMR net income of the trust estate;

Modifications to section 98 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

Note:

The effect of this subsection is that where section 98 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 applies to the trustee of a trust that is an IMR foreign fund, the trustee is only assessed and made liable to pay tax in respect of non-IMR net income of the fund (rather than in respect of all net income of the fund to which section 98 would otherwise apply).

Modifications to section 99E of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

842-225(5)
For the purposes of applying section 99E of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 :

(a) replace the reference in that section to so much of the net income with a reference to so much of the net income or non-IMR net income (within the meaning of subsection 842-260(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ) as the case may be; and

(b) replace the reference in that section to a part of the net income of another trust estate with a reference to a part of the non-IMR net income (within the meaning of subsection 842-260(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ) of another trust estate.

Note:

The effect of this subsection is that the trustee of a trust that receives a distribution of non-IMR net income from another trust is not required to apply section 98 , 99 or 99A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 to those amounts.

Certain losses disregarded

842-225(6)
The trust cannot * utilise a * tax loss or * net capital loss in relation to an income year, or any future income year, to the extent the loss is attributable to * IMR income , an * IMR capital gain , an * IMR deduction or an * IMR capital loss .
