ANZ have just released the information below concerning hybrid trusts
Hybrid trusts: Requirement for Product Ruling from Australian Tax Office
Hybrid trusts are structured with features from both Discretionary (Family Trusts) and Unit Trusts and are generally used to provide maximum flexibility for taxation solutions and are often under close scrutiny by the Australia Tax Office (ATO).
As the structures of these trusts can be very complex, we are only able to consider these applications if evidence is submitted with the application that the Trust Deed and structure is covered by a Product Ruling from the ATO. We are not able to consider applications where Lenders Mortgage Insurance is required.
