This section allows you to insert income, expenses and net income of the trust.
Do not include an unrealised gain or an unrealised loss at item 8 – Income or item 9 – Expenses. These would be reflected in the estimated market value of the fund‘s assets.
8 Income
Include all the types of income derived by the trust.
Do not include donations at item 8 – Income. Include these amounts at item 7 –Donations received.
A – Gross income
Insert the total of gross income derived from money held in financial institutions including:

- unfranked dividends received from either public or private entities
- any amounts received from us as a result of the fund applying for a refund of franking credits attached to dividends received either:
- directly or indirectly as a shareholder
- indirectly as a beneficiary of a trust.
- total of amounts received from the renting, leasing or hiring out of land, buildings or other property
- total of all distributions from a trust
- other gross income.
Insert the amount of net capital gain.
This was previously called 'realised capital gain' in the information returns of former prescribed private funds.
You make a capital gain or loss when a capital gains tax (CGT) event takes place.
You make a capital gain if the proceeds exceed the cost base. You make a capital loss if the reduced cost base exceeds the capital proceeds.
Total capital gains and losses for the financial year are respectively added up and subtracted, and then any net capital losses from earlier years are also offset – this gives the net capital gain or loss for the income year. If the trust has a capital loss this is quarantined and then offset against capital gains in future years. A capital loss cannot be deducted against any form of income other than capital gain. There is no capital gain or loss unless they have been ‘realised’.
