(v) if the interest is acquired within the relevant period by virtue of the vesting of marketable securities under a declaration of trust over shares and duty has already been paid under this Division in respect of an acquisition of that interest by virtue of the declaration of trust having been made when the marketable securities were to be vested in the declarant; (vi) if the interest is acquired within the relevant period by virtue of the addition of a beneficiary or class of beneficiaries to the existing beneficiaries under a discretionary trust and either of the following applies: (A) the existing and the additional beneficiaries are members of the same family; (B) the addition is not a tax avoidance scheme or part of a tax avoidance scheme; (vii) the acquisition occurs through a change in control of a corporate beneficiary and a change in control of a discretionary trust and the Commissioner is satisfied that the changes are not a tax avoidance scheme or part of a tax avoidance scheme; (ix) the Commissioner is satisfied the acquisition is made only for any of the following purposes: (A) to enable a person (other than the corporation) from whom the interest is acquired to obtain finance under an arrangement (the finance arrangement), whether by way of renewal of the finance arrangement or otherwise; (B) to enable the person to obtain an extension of the period for which finance was obtained under the finance arrangement;
Stamp Duty Act 1978 63 (C) to enable the person or someone providing finance to the person under the finance arrangement to enforce or terminate the finance arrangement; (x) if the interest is acquired within the relevant period in relation to the relevant acquisition and duty is not payable in respect of the interest by virtue of section 22 as in force before 1 July 2006 or by virtue of section 19 or 20 as in force on or after 1 July 2006; and (d) the amount, if any, paid under Division 8B (but not refunded) for the part of the duty for a merger vesting of land within the relevant period in relation to the relevant acquisition.
