  • draft amendments to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

  • updated explanatory material.

The draft legislation streamlines how closelyheld trusts report beneficiary tax file numbers (TFNs).

It removes reporting on a separate form. Instead, trustees must report TFNs of presentlyentitled beneficiaries on the trust’s income tax return.

These changes will enhance the trust reporting system’s prefill capabilities. This supports the Australian Taxation Office’s current system changes.
