1)

A private company has made a loan to another entity (e.g., a trust), this has been recorded as an intercompany loan for related party transactions. Should this be treated as Div 7A?


2)

In the financial statements for  xyz Pty Ltd appears a loan receivable balances for  Trust  A & Trust B. Upon reviewing the minimum yearly repayment requirements, it has come to our attention that these have not been met. As a result, a deemed dividend would need to be recorded.

Our concern is determining the correct party against whom to record the deemed dividend ?

Specifically, we are uncertain whether it should be attributed to:


  • Z Pty Ltd  as the shareholder of xyz Pty Ltd (Z Pty Ltd  is the trustee of the Unit Trust and Z Pty Ltd   is not a trading entity), or
  • The actual loan recipients:  Trust  A & Trust B or
  • Trust given that ASIC documents indicate Z Pty Ltd has “No” beneficiaries held.



Could you please advise on the correct party against whom to record the deemed dividend ?

Hi Ann4,


I've linked the Div 7A information so you can apply to your situation. The advice we received from our experts regarding your previous post, was that your situation is quite complex and we need detailed information about your circumstances to fully consider your situation. It's important that we review the relevant loan documents and trust deed provisions.
