(dividend ,associated person，sYB6 of the Income Tax Act 2007)

2.Is Milo Ltd associated with Barbie Family Trust for land transaction purposes?

(sYB6,sYB4 of the Income Tax Act 2007, child<20 year, land not associated)

Expert Solution

1. What is the tax implication of the interest-free loan from Milo Ltd to Barbie Family Trust?

Interest-free loan to Barbie Family Trust is taxable since John who is a connected party of the trust has the majority of shares in Milo Ltd. Loan given by the associated person is taxable according to the new income tax Act of 2007.

2. Is Milo Ltd associated with Barbie Family Trust for land transaction purposes?

Milo Ltd can't associate with Barbie family trust for the land transactions since John is the majority shareholder of Milo Ltd and an associated person of Barbie Family Trust. A settler can associate with a trust and company for the land transactions. In this case, a settler is a person/company who is a related party of the trust by providing a loan to trust for a market rate of interest. Milo Ltd gave an interest-free loan to Barbie Family Trust, hence Milo Ltd is not a settler and can't associate for the land transactions.
