All private AFs that were formerly a PPF

Last updated 12 February 2019

L If the fund was formerly a PPF did it choose not to apply the transitional distribution rules during the financial year?

If your fund was not formerly a PPF, you are not required to answer this question.

A former private AF may choose to not apply the transitional distribution rules (that is, based on donations and income) and instead apply the distribution rules under private AF guideline 19 (that is, based on market value). That choice must be made within the financial year in which it changes its distribution method.

Start of example

Example

End of example If a fund wishes to adopt the new distribution rules in relation to the 2012–13 financial year, it must make the minimum distribution in accordance with guideline 19 during the 2012–13 year and make the choice not to apply this transitional rule before lodging its ancillary fund return 2013.

 

For more information, refer to Private AF guidelines 53 and 54.
