The layout of the SAIM

The tax rules governing the most common type of investment income, namely interest, are in SAIM2000.

Some investments in securities give an interest-like return in the form of a discount. These are known as 바카라 사이트榙eeply discounted securities바카라 사이트�. See SAIM3000.

Special rules ensure that accrued amounts on certain securities are taxed as interest and not as capital gains. This is the Accrued Income Scheme. See SAIM4000.

The tax rules on the dividends and other distributions from companies are set out in SAIM5000.

Equity investments in companies are often held in the form of collective investment schemes. The tax rules affecting investors in such schemes are explained in SAIM6000.

Certain types of derivative products can be used to provide a return that is essentially the same as interest. SAIM7000 explains the tax rules that ensure that such a return is taxed as income.

SAIM8000 explains the tax rules on 바카라 사이트榓nnual payments바카라 사이트�.

Deduction of tax

Deduction of tax is commonly applied to income received from savings and investments. SAIM9000 explains this in more detail. The legislation on deduction of tax applies to all types of taxpayer and, where relevant, the application of these rules to companies is also covered.

Interest relief

Chapter 1 of Part 8 of the Income Tax Act 2007 provides for tax relief to be given to an individual who pays interest on certain loans. The rules relating to this relief are explained in SAIM10000.

Transfers of income streams

Where the right to an income stream is transferred, the value of the transferred income stream is treated as income of the transferor. Chapter 5A of the Income Tax Act 2007 has the rules for non-corporate transferors. These are outlined in SAIM11000.
