Trust information

Instructions for completing the attribution managed investment trust information in the AMIT tax schedule.

Published 28 May 2025

Trust information

Provide the period, name of trust, tax file number (TFN) and Australian business number (ABN).

The name, TFN and ABN shown here must match the information you have entered on the AMIT tax return.

Separate AMIT classes and the AMIT tax schedule

An AMIT may make an irrevocable election to treat separate classes of interests in the trust as separate AMITs.

If the trustee has chosen to apply separate AMIT treatment, you must complete one AMIT tax schedule for each class.

You must also complete the following separate AMIT fields on each schedule.

Name of AMIT class

Write a unique name and number for the AMIT class. This ensures that each class can be easily identified.

We recommend that the name and number of an AMIT class remain consistent in subsequent years and that you avoid reusing a name if the class ceases.

Example: separate AMIT schedule for each class

An AMIT has an Australian equities class and a Foreign equities class, which it elects to treat as separate AMITs. A separate schedule is prepared for each class, showing the names as:

  • Australian equities class
  • Foreign equities class.
End of example

    • the owner (or a former owner) has notified the Commissioner in the approved form of their choice for the development to be an active build to rent development
    • has during the required minimum period for that development continually met the ongoing eligibility conditions, or if not, the Commissioner has exercised their discretion to reinstate the development's access to the incentives where certain criteria are failed.

For more information, see Build to rent development tax incentives.

Even if the MIT is also another MIT type listed in this table, answer B at MIT type.

A MIT is a clean building MIT if it both:

  • holds one or more clean buildings, including the land on which the buildings are situated
  • does not derive assessable income from any taxable Australian property, other than from the clean buildings or assets that are reasonably incidental to those buildings.

If the MIT is more than one MIT type listed in this table, see the rules before the table.

  • shares listed on a foreign exchange
  • units in trusts
  • interests in bonds and debentures.

Is this the final schedule for this class?

Answer Yes or No as appropriate.

Number of members in the AMIT class at the end of the income year

Write the number of members in the AMIT classes at the end of 2024–25. This field must contain a number, even if there is only one member.

Write only the number of owners shown in the AMIT's membership records. A single entity (such as a custodian) that is identified in the AMIT's membership records as holding membership interests in respect of more than one specific entity should be counted as a separate member in respect of each specific entity.

Example: identify number of members

Membership records for an AMIT class show a parcel of units held by X Custodian on behalf of Entity A, and a separate parcel held by X Custodian on behalf of Entity B. These should be treated as 2 separate members for the purposes of this question. If the record shows a parcel held by X Custodian without any reference to the underlying clients, it would be counted as a single member. You don't need to trace through to underlying interests not shown in the membership records.
