“How to calculate tax for multi-rate PIEs”

When you are a multi-rate PIE (Portfolio Investment Entity), you need to follow these steps to work out how much tax you owe:

First, you need to figure out the net amount for each group of investors in your PIE. This means adding up all the money that came in and taking away all the money that went out for each group.

Next, you need to work out the taxable amount for each group of investors. This is the part of the net amount that you need to pay tax on.

Finally, you need to calculate how much tax each investor in each group owes for every day of the time period you’re looking at. This helps make sure everyone pays the right amount of tax based on how long they’ve been invested and how much they’ve invested.

By following these steps, you can figure out exactly how much tax your PIE needs to pay.
