Bendel and Commissioner of Taxation [2023]
The Australian Taxation Office lost a Division 7A (deemed dividend) case in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal – learn why!
In a recent case, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (Tribunal) decided that a corporate beneficiary’s unpaid present entitlement to income (or capital) of a trust was not a “loan” by the corporate beneficiary to the trustee under s 109D(3) of Division 7A of the Income Tax Assessment Act (ITAA). Therefore, it was not taxable as a deemed dividend (income).
