New legislation has changed the FIF rules with application from 1 July 2003. The changes include a measure to exclude from the operation of FIF rules certain investments in FIFs that primarily engage in the active management of funds. Previously, the FIF rules required taxpayers to attribute amounts in respect of such investments in the current year.
