Tax Administration Act 1994

Information, record-keeping, and returns - Investment income information

25D: Investment income information

You could also call this:

"Information about investment income that must be given to the government"

Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

When you get investment income, the payer must give the Commissioner some information. This information is listed in schedule 6, table 1 and it must be provided for each reporting period. You need to know what information is required. The payer must include information about each owner if the investment is owned jointly. This information is also listed in schedule 6, table 1, row 16. But this rule does not apply to beneficiaries of a trust, shareholders in a company, or partners in a partnership, unless the partnership has to file a separate return. If some information was obtained before 1 April 2018, it only needs to be included if it is in electronic form. This includes a person's date of birth and information about joint owners, such as their names and contact addresses. The payer must follow these rules when providing investment income information to the Commissioner, as stated in section 25E and section 22AAB.
