Many countries were not blessed with trust law. In order to participate in the global economy, Australians must understand and utilise a range of investment structures which do not always easily interface with the Tax Act. The concept of the foreign hybrid entity was intended to allow Australians to grapple with these investment vehicles, by accommodating and making sense of a range of popular outbound entity types.
