Additional Information/Special Instructions
Establishment of your Trust
Acis provides trust establishments in 3 ways:
1. Settled direct - we provide Settlor - Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. acts as the Settlor and the Trust Deed is prepared and delivered to you for execution by the Trustee. The Trust’s jurisdiction will be that in which the Trustee/s execute the Trust Deed and settlement stamp duty may (or may not) apply in that jurisdiction.
2. Settled direct - you provide Settlor - the Trust Deed is prepared and delivered to you for execution by the Settlor and Trustee. The Trust’s jurisdiction will be that in which the Trustee/s execute the Trust and settlement stamp duty may (or may not) apply in that jurisdiction.
3. Power of Attorney - Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. acts as the Settlor and Acis Nominees Pty. Ltd. will sign the Trust Deed on behalf of the Trustee under Power of Attorney. As all documents are signed in our office, the Trust’s settlement jurisdiction will be Queensland. The power of attorney is restricted to the act of signing the deed only and does not constitute a general Power of Attorney i.e. once the deed is signed, the power of attorney effectively ends. If not accompanying your order, the executed Power of Attorney MUST be returned to us for the trust to be properly established.
For convenience, a blank Power of Attorney is attached. You should note that a trustee company cannot execute a Power of Attorney prior to its registration.
Dating your Trust
When establishing your Trust, the following procedures will apply:
1. If the Trust Deed is to be settled direct using Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. as the Settlor (and your instructions do not specify a subsequent date), the Trust Deed will be dated when it is executed by the Settlor.
2. If you provide the Settlor (and your instructions do not specify a subsequent date), the Trust Deed will be supplied undated.
3. If the Trust Deed is executed under Power of Attorney, the Trust will be dated on the day we receive the properly executed Power of Attorney from you (regardless of the date appearing on the Power of Attorney).
Executing Trust Deeds
It is vital that your Trust Deed is properly executed and the settlement sum received and deposited to a trust bank account BEFORE the trust undertakes any transactions. If the trust deed is not properly executed:
1. the trust may be improperly established, not established at all or invalid;
2. adverse taxation (particularly CGT) and stamp duties issues may arise.
Foreign Persons Excluded in Acis Trust Deeds
The Acis trust deed excludes foreign persons for the purposes of surcharge foreign person duty and land tax in all Australian jurisdictions for which these surcharges apply, except NSW. To prevent inadvertent foreign person surcharge duty and land tax liabilities in NSW, the trust deed must irrevocably exclude foreign persons. This means that the trustee of this trust would not be able to distribute to foreign persons and this could not be changed. If you elect for the trust deed to irrevocably exclude foreign persons, the trust deed will exclude foreign persons for the purposes of surcharge foreign person duty and land tax in all Australian jurisdictions for which these surcharges apply, and incorporate additional clauses to irrevocably exclude foreign persons and prevent inadvertent foreign person surcharge duty and land tax liabilities of the trust in NSW.
