Podcast: The Carter Case - No Disclaimer of Present Entitlements

A podcast discussing the Carter case and the issue of present entitlements.

• Following the decision in Carter, tax will follow a beneficiary who is 'presently entitled' as at 30 June.

• This is the case even if the beneficiary is not aware of the entitlement/trust or disclaims at a later date (subject to the doctrine of 'sham' and section 100A).

• Unusual outcomes can arise where there are big mismatches between 'trust law income' and 'tax law income'.
