Unit Trusts

Learn what an Australian fixed unit trust is, how best to manage a unit trust set up in Australia and more.

A Trustee winds up a Trust by:

  • making a Declaration (in writing) that the Trust is to vest (that is the Trust ends and the Trust assets be distributed to the Unit Holders);
  • collecting in all of the Trust assets and converting them into cash (unless the Trustee proposes to make an in specie distribution);
  • all debts of the Trust must be paid and all tax must be paid;
  • The assets (or cash) are then distributed amongst the Unit Holders according to the Unit Holdings in the Unit Trust Deed;
  • notice is then given to the Taxation Department that the Trust has ceased to exist.
