Attribution of assets
1208E Attribution of assets
For the purposes of this Act, if:
an individual is an attributable stakeholder of a company or trust at a particular time on or after 1 January 2002; and
at that time, the company or trust owns a particular asset (whether alone or jointly or in common with another entity or entities); and
if, at that time, that asset had been owned by the individual instead of by the company or trust, the value of the asset would not be required to be disregarded by any express provision of this Act; and
at that time, the asset is not an excluded asset (see subsection (2));
there is to be included in the value of the individual’s assets an amount equal to the individual’s asset attribution percentage of the value of the asset referred to in paragraph (b).
For attribution of the assets of a special disability trust, see section 1209Y.
