Taxation Administration Act 1953

A trust is a withholding MIT in relation to an income year if:

it is a *managed investment trust in relation to that income year because of paragraph 275‑10(1)(a) or subsection 275‑10(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and

a substantial proportion of the investment management activities carried out in relation to the trust in respect of all of the following assets of the trust are carried out in Australia throughout the income year:

assets that are situated in Australia at any time in the income year;

assets that are *taxable Australian property at any time in the income year;

assets that are *shares, units or interests listed for quotation in the official list of an *approved stock exchange in Australia at any time in the income year.

For the purposes of ascertaining whether a trust is a *managed investment trust in relation to that income year for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), treat as a *fund payment by the trustee of the trust any amount that, under subsection 12A‑205(2), would be treated as a payment by the trustee if the trust were an *AMIT.

The making of a fund payment is a requirement for the trust to be a managed investment trust under paragraph 275‑10(1)(a) and subsection 275‑10(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
