Unit Trusts

From $269.50 (inc GST)

Unit Trusts can be established as an alternative to a Company, if appropriate in your situation. Managed by trustees, assets of a Unit Trust are held by the Trustee, Unit Holders own a share of the Trust in accordance with the number of units held.

Patricia Holdings offers a number of Unit Trusts, namely:

1. Standard Unit Trust

A basic format of a Unit Trust, this enables unit holders to share in the distribution of income each year in accordance with the number of units they own and, when the Trust is ultimately wound up, a distribution of capital also in proportion to the number of units which a beneficiary owns. Each Unit carries the right to one vote. The Unit Holders have an entitlement, upon a 62% vote, to ask the Trustee to terminate the Trust at any time. The Trustee may re-purchase units at any time and the units are saleable but must first be offered to other Unit Holders before being sold on the open market. The Unit Holders have no direct ownership or interest in the Trust property. Unit Holders merely own their units and nothing else.

2. Fixed Unit Trust

This is similar to the Standard Unit Trust. However, it gives unit holders a defined ownership of the Trust property and capital of the Trust when the Trust is wound up. It also provides the Unit Holders the entitlement, upon a 62% vote, to ask the Trustee to terminate the Trust at any time. This Trust has the same format as a Standard Unit Trust except that the Deed specifically provides that Unit Holders have an ownership in the Trust property in direct proportion to the unit holding and Unit Holders are to receive the income from any real estate owned by the Trust. This Trust is intended to address the decision of the New South Wales (NSW) Land Tax Office to permit a Fixed Trust to receive the benefit of a $352,000.00 tax free threshold for land tax purposes.

3. Multi-Class Unit Trust

Our standard form of Multi Class Unit Trust incorporates thirteen (13) classes of units each with different rights relating to capital, income and voting. This can be adjusted to suit individual needs.

4. Simple Hybrid Trust

A Hybrid Trust is a Unit Trust which incorporates the features of a Discretionary Trust with the Trust being divided into classes. This enables Units to be issued in much the same way as a Standard Unit Trust or a Multi-Class Unit Trust but for the Trust also to have a class of Units that are totally discretionary permitting income and capital to be distributed amongst the Unit Holders as determined from time to time by the Trustee.
