Investment FAQs

Will I re­ceive a tax state­ment this year?

If your Fund(s) did paid you any dis­tri­b­u­tions in this state­men­t’s fi­nan­cial year (ex­clud­ing dis­tri­b­u­tions paid ef­fec­tive 1 July, which are con­sid­ered part of the pre­vi­ous fi­nan­cial year), you will re­ceive a tax state­ment. We are not re­quired to pro­duce a tax state­ment if no in­come is paid. Please note that an in­crease in the value of your units as a re­sult of pos­i­tive per­for­mance does not con­sti­tute in­come.

Tax state­ments are not pro­duced for BT Su­per ac­counts be­cause every­thing is taxed at fund level, if you re­quire more in­for­ma­tion please see the Fund Fact­sheet.

Will I re­ceive a cap­i­tal gains tax (CGT) state­ment this year?

If you re­deemed or switched any units in your Fund, or trans­ferred units to an­other in­vest­ment in this state­men­t’s fi­nan­cial year, you may re­ceive a CGT state­ment. We are not re­quired to pro­duce a cap­i­tal gains tax state­ment when no re­demp­tions, switches or trans­fers have oc­curred. Please note that an in­crease or de­crease in the value of your units as a re­sult of per­for­mance does not con­sti­tute a cap­i­tal gain or loss.
