  • • the trustee of a trust makes a family trust election; or
  • • a company, the partners in a partnership or the trustee of a trust makes an election to be included in a family group in relation to a family trust;

    • and the company, partnership or trust concerned confers a present entitlement to, or distributes, income or capital other than upon or to a specified individual or members of his or her family group, a special tax is payable on the conferral or distribution.

    If certain non-residents do not pay the special tax by the due date, other persons connected with them may also become liable to pay a special tax equal to the unpaid amount.
