Part 2 Determination that individual is not attributable stakeholder
5 Purpose
This Part sets out decision-making principles with which the Commission must comply in making a determination, under paragraph 52ZZJ(1)(a) or (2)(c) of the Act, that an individual is not an attributable stakeholder of a company or trust.
6 Application
-
This Part applies if, but for a determination by the Commission, the individual would be an attributable stakeholder of the company or trust.
-
The Commission must consider the relationship between the individual and the company or trust, having regard to:
-
the reason why, but for a determination, the individual would be an attributable stakeholder; and
-
the circumstances mentioned in this Part.
-
In particular, the Commission must consider whether the effect of one or more of the circumstances mentioned in this Part, in relation to the individual and the company or trust, provides a sufficient basis on which to determine that the individual is not an attributable stakeholder of the company or trust.
7 Circumstances affecting relationship with company or trust
-
The Commission must consider whether there are relevant circumstances that make it inappropriate for the individual to be an attributable stakeholder of the company or trust.
-
For subsection (1), relevant circumstances include the extent to which the relationship between the individual and the company or trust is affected by any of the following circumstances:
-
circumstances arising from the legal structure of the company or trust;
-
circumstances arising from the administrative arrangements of the company or trust;
-
whether, having regard to the relationship between the individual and the company or trust, the individual can reasonably be expected to exercise effective control in relation to the company or trust.
8 Contribution to company or trust
If the individual has made a contribution to the company or trust, the Commission must consider the circumstances in which the contribution was made and, in particular:
- the value of the contribution; and
- the proportion that the value of the contribution has to the total assets of the company or trust at the time of the contribution; and
- the effect of the contribution on the financial position of the company or trust; and
- if the individual received consideration for the contribution, the amount of consideration.
