Dastardly implications arising from Greensill and Martin decisions - attribution and discretionary beneficiaries
Source: The Tax Specialist Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Oct 2021

However, if you look at the under-litigated judicial analysis of the single undefined word from in the charging provisions of s 6-5 and s 6-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (ITAA97), especially in the under-litigated s 6-10, you will observe good unanimous legal reasoning from the four recent decisions to doubt whether attributed or non-owned income can satisfy the undefined from precondition for inclusion of amounts in assessable income where the amounts do not factually represent property owned by the person.
