NRAS certificates issued to partnerships and trustees

SECTION 380-30   Share of NRAS rent  

Object of section

380-30(1)    
The object of this section is to ensure that:

(a) *NRAS rent derived by a partnership or the trustee of a trust is allocated notionally amongst entities who *derive benefits from that NRAS rent; and

(b) that allocation corresponds with the way in which those benefits were derived.

380-30(2)    
An entity ' s share of *NRAS rent is an amount notionally allocated to the entity as its share of the NRAS rent, whether or not the entity actually receives any of that NRAS rent.

380-30(3)    
That amount is equal to the entity ' s share of the *NRAS rent as the focal entity in column 3 of an item of the table.

Note:

An entity ' s share of the NRAS rent is based on the share of the NRAS rent of each preceding intermediary entity through which the NRAS rent flows, starting from the intermediary entity to whom the NRAS rent is paid.

This means that in some cases (see items 2 and 4 of the table), more than one item of the table will need to be applied to work out the share of the NRAS rent of an ultimate recipient of the NRAS rent.
