Moore Stephens presented a tax update at the Property Funds Association's Roadshow around Australia during the week ended 20 September 2013. Our presentation included a discussion of:

  • the latest changes to the Managed Investment Trust ("MIT") tax regime;
  • August Case - a recent case that discussed the importance of maintaining contemporaneous documentation (such as an information memorandum) to support your intention of holding a property to derive rent (i.e. on capital account for tax purposes) as opposed to develop for a gain (i.e. on revenue account for tax purposes); and
  • the thin capitalisation changes.
