Trust Minimum Tax 2028: The Election Instead of Restructuring

Treasury released the draft legislation for the 30 per cent minimum tax on discretionary trusts on 3 September 2026, and submissions close on 18 September. The rate and the 1 July 2028 start date were already known. What is new is a third option: a trust in existence at 1 July 2028 can elect to make fixed distributions to pre-nominated beneficiaries and avoid the minimum tax, with no restructure and no stamp duty expected. One condition cancels it, and revocation costs a year at the top marginal rate plus Medicare levy.

信托分给公司的钱算不算借款:高等法院 6 月 10 日判了不算,但已经签成贷款协议的退不回去

每年 6 月 30 日把信托收入分一部分给自己的公司,钱没真付过去,会计说要么付掉要么签贷款协议。这句话在 2026 年 6 月 10 日之后不再成立:高等法院以 5 比 2 判税务局败诉,认定公司受益人的未付分配权益本身不是 Division 7A 的贷款,ATO 已定撤回 TD 2022/11。但已经按旧口径签成贷款协议的退不回去,本财年最低还款按 8.77% 的基准利率算;Subdivision EA 与第 100A 条也仍然适用。而财政部 9 月 3 日的信托最低税草案意见期 9 月 18 日截止,未付权益的立法将另行推进。
