52ZZZG Individual ceases to be an attributable stakeholder of a trust—receipt of remuneration or other benefits from trust during asset deprivation period
For the purposes of this section, if:
an individual ceases to be an attributable stakeholder of a trust on or after 1 January 2002; and
immediately after the cessation, the trust was a concessional primary production trust in relation to the individual; and
under section 52ZZY, as a result of the cessation, Subdivision BA or BB of Division 11 has effect as if the individual had disposed of an asset of the individual; and
under Subdivision BA or BB of Division 11, as a result of the disposition, a particular amount is included in the value of the individual’s assets for the period of 5 years that starts on the day on which the disposition took place;
then:
the period referred to in paragraph (d) is the asset deprivation period in relation to the individual and the trust; and
throughout the asset deprivation period, the trust is a special primary production trust of the individual; and
each one of the 5 years that constitutes the asset deprivation period is an asset deprivation year in relation to the individual and the trust.
If:
a trust (the first trust) is a special primary production trust in relation to an individual; and
the individual and/or the individual’s spouse received one or more benefits (the first benefits) from the trust during a period that is an asset deprivation year (the first asset deprivation year) in relation to the individual and the trust;
subparagraph 52ZZZF(1)(n)(ii) does not apply to the first benefits, so long as the sum of the following amounts is less than the amount specified in clause 38N of Schedule 1 to the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999 (subject to any indexation under Schedule 4 to that Act):
the total of the amount or value of the first benefits;
if:
another trust is a special primary production trust in relation to the individual; and
the asset deprivation period in relation to the individual and that other trust overlaps, in whole or in part, the first asset deprivation year; and
the individual and/or the individual’s spouse received one or more benefits (the second benefits) from that other trust during the period of the overlap;
the total of the amount or value of the second benefits;
if:
another trust is a special primary production trust in relation to the individual’s spouse; and
the asset deprivation period in relation to the individual’s spouse and that other trust overlaps, in whole or in part, the first asset deprivation year; and
the individual’s spouse and/or the individual received one or more benefits (the third benefits) from that other trust during the period of the overlap;
the total of the amount or value of the third benefits.
Subsection (2) does not apply to any of the following benefits:
food that:
is derived from the first primary production enterprise referred to in section 52ZZZF; and
is for the personal consumption of the individual or the individual’s spouse;
residential accommodation for the individual or the individual’s spouse, where that accommodation is the principal home of the individual;
if paragraph (b) applies—water, fuel, gas or electricity for use in that residential accommodation;
any other non‑cash benefit that is minor and provided on a basis that is infrequent and irregular.
In this section:
benefit, in relation to a trust, means any remuneration or other benefit received from the trust otherwise than in the capacity of beneficiary of the trust.
