Issue
National Australian Bank Income Security (NABHA) is treated as traditional security in Class however NAB’s website indicates National Income Security (NIS) is not to be treated as traditional security.
Refer to the NAB website for further information on National Income Securities.
Resolution
The CGT classification is mapped at a community level provided by ASX reference point.
Class acknowledges that you may take the view in TD 2009/14 and various Class Rulings issued on other Australian Banks. The ATO may hold the view that a NIS is a single instrument (comprised of a note and a preference share) and that no part of the NIS is traditional security.
