Being Tax Ready with Non resident Beneficiaries of Family Trusts Michael Bennett page 4. 1 Overview Australia has always been a multicultural society. It continues to evolve in this regard, becoming more multicultural as time goes on.

8 It also utilises an increasingly mobile workforce;. both as to incoming workers or those leaving for expat work. Australia sits in a world with travel whether work related or lifestyle driven happening more often. Mobility of the workforce has been a trend of some significant time. These large, and growing, numbers of people living and working overseas raise issues for trustees because a trust, and in particular a trust with discretionary objects, will often include resident and non- resident beneficiaries.

9 But to consider the tax implications for the trustees and non- resident beneficiaries of a trust it is important to first understand the basis of Australian taxation and what will make someone a resident or non- resident . It will then be convenient to consider specific issues that arise for trustee and non- resident beneficiaries. These include: 1. Inbound Taxpayers;. 2. Outbound Taxpayers;. 3. Birds of Passage;. 4. The Trustee's liability for Non- resident Beneficiaries;. 5. Conflicting Tax Laws of the Non- resident Beneficiary's Jurisdiction.

10 6. The Withholding Tax Regime;. 7. Adverse Tax Implications where an Asset passes to a Non- resident ;. 8. The CGT Provisions for Non- Residents and Australian Property;. 9. CGT Event E8;. 10. CGT Event K3;. 11. Streaming to a Non- resident Beneficiary;. 12. Estate Planning for a Share Portfolio in a Testamentary Trust; and 13. Estate Planning with Real Estate and Non resident Beneficiaries. Being Tax Ready with Non resident Beneficiaries of Family Trusts Michael Bennett page 5. These topics will be dealt with separately and in the order discussed above.
