Income tax: tax consequences of investing in Westpac 'SWB' Series Self-Funding Instalments - 2005 Product Disclosure Statement - cash applicants and on-market purchasers

Product Ruling PR 2006/5 sets out the Commissioner's view on the income tax consequences for entities participating in the Westpac SWB Series Self Funding Instalments 2005 Product Disclosure Statement for cash applicants and on-market purchasers.

From 1 July 2007, the recently enacted Division 247 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies a different methodology for calculating the cost of capital protection for entities in the Westpac SWB Series Self Funding Instalments. PR 2006/5 therefore has no application to entities entering into the Westpac SWB Series Self-Funding Instalments on or after 1 July 2007.
