INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 195.110

Each sub - fund of a CCIV is taken to be a separate trust

  (1)   For each * sub - fund of a * CCIV, the business, * assets and * liabilities of the sub - fund are taken to constitute the trust estate of a separate trust, of which the CCIV is the trustee and the * members of the sub - fund are the beneficiaries.

  (2)   A trust that is taken to exist because of the application of subsection   (1) to a * sub - fund of a * CCIV is a CCIV sub - fund trust .

Note:   The combined effect of this section and subsections   960 - 100(2) and (3) is that a CCIV is a different entity in its capacity as trustee of each of its CCIV sub - fund trusts.

  Because of subsection   195 - 105(1), the tax treatment of the CCIV in those capacities excludes the tax treatment that would otherwise apply to the CCIV as a company. Also, the tax treatment of members of the CCIV is based on them being treated as beneficiaries of their respective CCIV sub - fund trusts, to the exclusion of the tax treatment that would otherwise apply to them as members of a company.

Example 1:   CCIV A has only one sub - fund (sub - fund A). CCIV B has only one sub - fund (sub - fund B).

  CCIV A holds shares in CCIV B. The shares are referable to sub - fund B. They are assets of sub - fund A.

  In its capacity as trustee of the CCIV sub - fund trust for sub - fund A, CCIV A is a beneficiary of the CCIV sub - fund trust for sub - fund B.

Example 2:   A CCIV has 2 sub - funds: sub - fund A and sub - fund B.

  As permitted by section   1230Q of the Corporations Act 2001 , the CCIV acquires, in respect of sub - fund A, shares that are referable to sub - fund B. The shares are assets of sub - fund A.

  In its capacity as trustee of the CCIV sub - fund trust for sub - fund A, the CCIV is a beneficiary of the CCIV sub - fund trust for sub - fund B.
