HF 8: Proportional allocation
or “How Maori authorities fairly distribute taxable and non-taxable items to members”
You could also call this:

“How companies and trusts are treated when they choose to become or stop being a Maori authority”

If you’re a company and you decide to become a Maori authority in a tax year, you need to follow the rules in the first row of table H1.

If you’re a trust and you choose to become a Maori authority in a tax year, you (as the trustee) need to follow the rules in the second row of table H1.

If you’re a Maori authority that’s set up as a company and you stop being a Maori authority in a tax year, you need to follow the rules in the third row of table H1.

If you’re a Maori authority that’s set up as a trust and you stop being a Maori authority in a tax year, you (as the trustee) need to follow the rules in the fourth row of table H1.

These rules help you understand what to do when your status changes between being a company, trust, or Maori authority.
