Group composition

Classification

The head company is a non-ADI general outward investor and no member of the group is a financial entity or an ADI.

Non-ADI outward investor general and Subdivision 820-B applies.

The head company will be an outward investor if one of its associate entities is an outward investor. This means that if at least one of the head company's subsidiary members is an outward investor, the head company will be an outward investor. Even if the head company or any other company in the group is foreign owned, it will still be classified as an outward investor if it or one of the group's subsidiary members is an outward investor as the outward investor rules take priority over those applying to inward investing entities.

Refer to subsection 820-583(2) of the ITAA 1997 for more information.
