Section B: Estimated market value of the fund's net assets at the end of the previous financial year

Last updated 12 February 2019

This section allows you to insert details of the estimated value of the fund's net assets at the end of the previous financial year.

7 Estimated market value of the fund's gross assets

The market value of the fund's assets must be estimated in accordance with the ancillary fund guidelines and any other directions from the Commissioner.

For land and buildings, the estimates must have been made within the last three financial years. For assets other than land and buildings, estimates must be current at 30 June 2011.

We consider that, where there are circumstances that make the value apparent (for example, all assets of the company are in cash or listed shares), the trustee may use the market value established by the account balance for cash or the listed price of the shares.

However, we also consider that estimating the market value of shares in a private company is likely to be difficult or complex and so must be estimated by a certified and independent valuer or by the Australian Valuation Office AVO), which is a part of the ATO.

Estimates of the market value of assets that are land, including buildings, must be made by a certified and independent valuer or by the AVO.

8 Liabilities

B Borrowings

Insert the amount the fund had borrowed and not repaid at the end of the previous financial year.

The ancillary guidelines allow the trustee to borrow money or maintain an existing borrowing of money only in certain circumstances. The total borrowing is limited to 10% of the market value of the fund's assets and the period of the borrowing is also limited.

However, the transitional rules do allow a former PPF that has an existing borrowing at 30 September 2009 to maintain it, but it may not alter the terms of the borrowing without our prior agreement.

Further Information

For more information, refer to private AF guidelines paragraphs 33 and 60 or public AF guideline paragraph 33.
