Can my trust invest in CFDs?
By Ben McGrath
A typical question that a lot of people ask is ‘can my trust fund invest in CFDs?’. A common misconception amongst traders and investors is that trust accounts are treated differently by their CFD provider to individual and corporate accounts. Actually trust accounts are treated exactly the same as as every other account, the only real difference is the tax treatment of profits when the trustee chooses to distribute them to the beneficiaries of the trust.
Traders and investors generally use trusts for investing in CFDs for the following reasons:
1. for members of their family or ‘family group’ to benefit from their trading profits;
2. tax benefits, providing the trust passes the family control test and makes distributions of trust profits only to beneficiaries of the trust who are members of the ‘family group’;
3. protecting the assets of the family group’s from the liabilities of one or more of the family members (for example, in the event of a family member’s bankruptcy or insolvency);
4. provide a mechanism to pass family assets on to future generations;
5. accessing favorable taxation treatment through the use of income tax “tax-free thresholds” of family members; and
6. avoiding issues like challenges to the will following the event of the death of a member of the family.
The Benefits utilizing a trust to trade in CFDs
The most important benefit of a family trust is that the trustee is able to hand out income earned from investments made by the trust in any way they see fit, providing the distributions are made to the beneficiaries of the trust. Trustees do not have to pay trust distributions in any particular ratio or in the same proportion.
A trust is not required to pay income tax on earnings that are distributed to the beneficiaries, but does need to pay tax on undistributed proceeds. Trustees can distribute trust income to numerous beneficiaries, and in proportions that take advantage of those beneficiaries’ personal tax rates. The beneficiaries then pay the tax on distributions made to them.
For example, should an adult beneficiary of the trust only receive income from the trust and have the benefit of the tax-free threshold (currently $6,000) for the year, the trustee would have the ability to distribute a part of the family trust’s revenue to this person. The result would be that the beneficiary will receive some returns but may not have to pay tax if that amount is less than $6,000. If ever the allocation to the beneficiary exceeds his or her tax-free threshold, the excess amount is going to be taxed at the beneficiary’s personal tax rate.
Distributions received from a trust usually are not considered a special type of income, but rather form part of a beneficiary’s assessable income. If ever the beneficiary receives income from other sources in addition to distributions from the trust, all of their income is taxed together.
If the beneficiary’s earnings exceed the tax-free threshold for a specific year, the rate of tax applied to the amount of the surplus earnings over the tax-free threshold may be lower than that for other beneficiaries due to total earnings that these other beneficiaries already receive.
Undistributed income is taxed in the hands of the trustee at the top marginal tax rate of 45% for the 2006/2007 year, giving a strong incentive for family trusts to completely distribute the trust’s income before the end of each financial year.
The trustee should also take care in relation to which beneficiaries are chosen to receive distributions, as penalty tax rates can apply to distributions made to minors.
Income Distributions
One important aspect of a family trust that must be kept in mind is to whom the distributions are made.
First, all distributions require to be made only to individuals who are eligible under the terms of the trust deed to be beneficiaries of the trust.
Secondly, for trusts who have made a family trust election, the distributions may only be made to beneficiaries who are within ‘the family group’. In relation to this the ATO states on its website:
“A consequence of making a family trust election is that any distributions (broadly defined) outside the family group of the family trust by the trust will be taxed at the top marginal rate applying to individuals plus the Medicare levy.”
In other words, if a family trust makes a family trust election after which it pays out to someone not a member of the family group, they are taxed at the maximum rate possible.
Trust Buzz Words
Trust deed - This set out the terms and conditions under which a family trust is established and maintained. The trust is established by the trust’s settlor and trustee (or trustees) signing the trust deed, and the settlor giving the trust property (the “settled sum”) to the trustee.
The settler - The settlor’s function is to offer the assets to the trustee to hold for the benefit of the trust’s beneficiaries on the terms and conditions set out in the trust deed. The settlor executes the trust deed and then will usually, have no further involvement in the trust.
The trustee - The trustee is responsible for the trust and its assets. The trustee has broad powers to conduct the trust, and control its assets. Within a family trust, the trustees tend to be Mum and Dad (or a company of which Mum and Dad are the shareholders and directors). Their children and other dependants are likely to be listed as beneficiaries.
The trust information here should be regarded as general in nature, and in no way interpreted as legal advice.
