One of the hot topics in trusts in the last few years has been using splitting or cloning as a solution to dividing control of family discretionary trusts among the next generation. It is important to understand what is being done, how and when and why it works from both a practical and tax view and what are the pitfalls. This paper focusses on:

  • practical reasons for splitting or cloning
  • can you effectively ‘divide’ a trust’s assets under trust law?
  • tax outcomes for CGT assets, trading stock and plant and equipment
  • stamp duty issues
  • family trust election constraints
  • practical issues.
