Worksheet 5 - Cash surrender value method for FLPs

A

The cash surrender value of your interests held in the FLP on the last day of the notional accounting period.

$

B

The amount of distributions you received from the FLP during the notional accounting period for those interests you held on the last day of the period.

$

C

Where you have disposed of interests in the FLP during the notional accounting period, insert:

• the amount of distributions you received for those interests from the FLP during the notional accounting period - if more convenient, include this amount at B - and

$

D

• the amount you received for the disposal of the interests in the FLP.
  

$

E

The cash surrender value of the interests you held in the FLP on the day immediately before the first day of the notional accounting period or the deemed rate of return value for the same interests on the last day of the previous period where the deemed rate of return method was used for that period.

$

F

The amount you paid for acquiring any interest in the FLP during the notional accounting period.

$

G

Add E and F and take the total away from the sum of A to D.

This is the gross FIF income amount. If the amount at G is negative, you have incurred a current year FIF loss. You may take this loss into account in future years as an unapplied previous FIF loss, but only for the same FLP.

If the amount at G is positive, go to part 2.

$

H

Enter any unapplied previous FIF losses.

$

I

Take away the amount at H from the amount at G.

$

J

If the amount at I is positive - that is, you have FIF income - convert the amount to Australian currency at the rate of exchange applying at the end of the notional accounting period. If the amount at I is negative, you may use the amount in future years as an unapplied previous FIF loss.

A$

K

Did you receive any distributions from the FLP during the notional accounting period?

If No, then the amount at J is not reduced. Copy the amount from J to K. Include this amount in your assessable income.

$

L

If Yes, insert the amount, if any, of the distributions that are of the type to which subsection 530(1) applies - see chapter 6.

$

M

Take away L from J.

If the amount at M is positive, include it in your assessable income.

If the amount at M is negative, do not include any amount in your assessable income under the FIF measures.
