A trust is a foreign trust if it is not:

• an Australian superannuation fund
• a complying approved deposit fund
• a pooled superannuation trust [sections 267].

A trust is an Australian trust if the trustee was a resident, or the central management and control of the trust was in Australia, for 12 months preceding the end of your income year. [sections 473, 481 and 485]
