What is the minimum distribution allowed under the transitional rules?

Last updated 12 February 2019

A former PPF distributing under the transitional rules must as a minimum:

  • distribute during a financial year 5% of each gift received in the previous financial year
  • distribute its trust income within the financial year in which it is derived, unless otherwise allowed by the Commissioner.

A former PPF distributing under the transitional rules can retain an amount of trust income to maintain the capital of the fund calculated at the start of a financial year to reflect movements in the CPI published by the Australian Statistician for the previous financial year.

If the fund is subject to a continuing agreed accumulation plan, it may continue to act in accordance with that plan until one of the following occurs:

  • when the plan expires
  • when the fund meets its target amount
  • the end of the 2013–14 financial year

the start of a financial year for which the fund chooses to not apply the transitional rules.
