SOCIAL SECURITY ACT 1991 - SECT 1208F

When attributed asset is unrealisable

  (1)   For the purposes of this Act, if:

  (a)   an individual is an attributable stakeholder of a company or trust at a particular time on or after 1   January 2002; and

  (b)   at that time, the company or trust owns a particular asset (whether alone or jointly or in common with another entity or entities); and

  (c)   under section   1208E, there is included in the value of the individual's assets an amount equal to the individual's asset attribution percentage of the value of the asset held by the company or trust;

the amount referred to in paragraph   (c) is taken not to be an unrealisable asset of the individual unless the asset referred to in paragraph   (b) is an unrealisable asset of the company or trust.

  (2)   For the purposes of this section, in determining whether an asset is an unrealisable asset of a company or trust, ignore any limitation or restriction:

  (a)   in the constituent document of the company or the trust deed of the trust, as the case requires; or

  (b)   under a scheme that was entered into or carried out for the sole or dominant purpose of enabling any individual or individuals to avoid the application of this section and/or section   52ZZS of the Veterans' Entitlements Act.

  (3)   For the purposes of this section, in determining whether an asset is an unrealisable asset of a company or trust, subsections   11(12) and (13) have effect as if each reference in those subsections to a person included a reference to a company or trust.
