TREVISAN
TRUST - THE ULTIMATE TAX MINIMISATION STRUCTURE
Q.
WHAT IS A TREVISAN TRUST ? A. ITS A SPECIAL PRE: 1999 TRUST
WITH SPECIFIC TAX EXEMPTIONS.
The Trevisan Trust was a popular arrangement because it allowed a taxpayer
to use a DIY superannuation fund to gear its assets indirectly through a related
unit trust in which the fund invested. The unit trust was usually controlled
by the fund members, often via a trustee company in which the members were
shareholder/directors. This made the purchase of property particularly attractive
because it magnified the super. fund returns and accelerated debt reduction
(repayment of borrowings) through more efficient cash flows and from tax benefits.
It also allowed the superannuation fund to own a business, which super. funds
cannot do directly. In 1991 the Australian Taxation Office argued that the
arrangement was illegal and the case went to court. The ATO lost the case and
the trusts were to be even more popular until 11th August 1999 when new tax
laws came into effect. These new laws will only allow a DIY superannuation
fund to invest 5% of its investments into a related trust, while the pre. 1999
trust can still have 100% invested into the unit trust, subject to careful
planning. Because the new restrictions do not apply to pre. 1999 Trevisan trusts
they are particularly valuable for larger transactions.
We
have a limited number of pre. 1999 Trevisan trusts which can
be transferred in a similar manner to a shelf company. To find
out how one of these trusts might help you with structuring
