22 Attributed foreign income

For more information on calculating the amounts shown at M, U and X, see the Foreign income return form guide 2012-13 (NAT 1840).

If the partnership was a subsidiary member of a consolidated group for the entire income year, the International dealings schedule 2013 is not required.

Where the partnership is a member of a consolidated group for the whole income year and derived foreign income, the responsibility for preparing the schedule will rest on the head company of the consolidated group.

Where a return is required because the partnership had a period in the income year when it was not a member of a consolidated group (a non-membership period), the partnership should complete an International dealings schedule where it has derived foreign income attributable to any non-membership period.

Did you have overseas branch operations or a direct or indirect interest in a foreign trust, foreign company, controlled foreign entity or transferor trust?

Direct or indirect interests in a controlled foreign company or a foreign trust are taken to have the same meaning as set out in Division 3 of Part X of the ITAA 1936.

A partnership has an interest in a transferor trust if the partnership has ever made, or caused to be made, a transfer of property or services to a non-resident trust. Transfer of property and services is defined in section 102AAB of the ITAA 1936.

Sections 102AAJ and 102AAK of the ITAA 1936 provide guidance on whether there was a transfer, or a deemed transfer, of property or services to a non-resident trust.
