Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) A * beneficiary of a * CCIV sub - fund trust is taken to be presently entitled to a share of the income of the trust estate for an income year if any of the * sub - fund's profit for the income year was or is payable to the beneficiary by way of one or more * dividends declared during, or within 3 months after, the income year.
