Information for Partners

A partner, other than a partner in a limited partnership, is required to include their share of any partnership income in their instalment income for the instalment quarter. A partner must include income for each partnership in which they are a partner.

The amount is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

A = the assessable income from the partnership for the last income year*

B = the partnership's instalment income for the current period

C = the partnership's instalment income for the last income year*

Partners in a corporate limited partnership are only liable to include an actual distribution from the partnership in the instalment income.

Information for Beneficiaries of Trusts

A beneficiary, other than a beneficiary in a corporate unit trust or public trading trust, is required to include their share of any trust income in their instalment income for the instalment quarter. A beneficiary must include income for each trust in which they are a beneficiary.

The amount is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

A = The assessable income from the Trust for the last income year*

B = Trust's instalment income for the current period

C = Trust’s instalment income for the last income year*

If the business is a beneficiary in a corporate unit trust or public trading trust, it is only liable to include an actual distribution from the trust in the instalment income.

If the amount was nil, an amount must be included in the instalment income that is fair and reasonable. Calculate this amount by considering the interest in the partnership or trust, the partnership's or trust's instalment income for the current period and any other relevant circumstances.
