The dispute is about assessment s of land tax for a number of years . The Applicants had been assessed to land tax on the basis that the y were “ related ” companies. The Applicant s claim that the land tax assessed should not be payable on the basis assessed because the Applicants were not, in the Applicants ’ submission, “ related ” . The Respondent , however, says that the land tax is payable in the amounts assessed because the Applicants are “ related ” . The matter for determination is whether the Applicants are assessable for land tax as companies that are “ related ” . Background Corporate and trust structure Addison TST Co Pty Limited ( “ Addison ” ) was the trustee of the Addison Trust, a discretionary trust. Mr Jean Nassif was the nominated appointer of the Addison Trust. He was also the sole expressly n amed Income and Corpus beneficiary. There were other beneficiaries and classes of beneficiaries identified by their relationship to Mr Nassif. Addison held 100% of the shares in certain Applicant compan ies . Addison held the shares in these companies as trustee for the Addison Trust. Eveash TST Co Pty Ltd ( “ Eveash ” ) held 100% of the shares in Addison. Eveash did not h old the shares beneficially. Mr N assif held 100% of the shares in Evea sh beneficially . Eveash was the trustee of the Eveash Trust , a discretionary trust . Mr Nassif was the nominated appoint e r and sole expressly n amed Income and Corpus beneficiary. There were other beneficiaries and classes of beneficiaries identified by their relationship to Mr Nassif. Eveash held 100% of the shares in certain Applicant companies . Eveash held the shares in these companies as trustee of the Eveash Trust. The same individual, Mr Nassif, was the sole director of each of the Applicant companies at all relevant times. He was also the sole director of each of Addison and Eveash. The Constitutions of each relevant company belonging to Addison and Eveash w ere similar in effect . Each permitted the director to appoint directors and also allowed the company to appoint and remove directors. Each also permitted the company to appoint directors. The replaceable rules under the Corporations Act 2001 applied to all but one of the Applicant companies subject to the Constitution of each. Land tax assessments The R espondent issued land tax assessment notice s to a number of the A pplicants for the 2019 to 2023 land tax years . The Respondent sent a letter to 51 Ochr Pty Ltd ( “ Ochr ” ) and 1 5 other Applicants ( “ Addison Group ” ) saying that they were “ related ” companies based on a common shareholder , Addis on . That letter also said that Ochr was a “ concessional company ” and that the other companies were “ non-concessional companies ” under s 29(3)(b) of the Land Tax Management Act 1956 (NSW) ( “ LT M A ” ) . The Respondent then issued reassessments on the basis that the members of the Addison Group (except Ochr) were “ related ” companies within the meaning of s 29 of the LTMA. B etween 18 August and 23 August 2023, the R esponde nt issued certain land tax assessment notices to Applicant companies owned by Eveash for the 2019 to 2023 land tax years . A subsequent letter from the R espondent said that these were “ related ” companies within the meaning of s 29(1) of the LTM A based on the common shareholder , Eveash ( “ Eveash Group ” ) . The letter identified JK N P roperty G roup Pty Ltd as a “ concessional company ” for the 2023 year, JK N Australia Pty Ltd as a “ concessional company ” for the 2019 to 2022 years and that all other Ev ea sh G roup companies had been classified as “ non - concessional companies ” within s 29 ( 3 )(b) of the LTM A. Between 14 and 19 November 2023, the Respondent issued reassessments to members of the Eveash Group on the basis that the se companies were “ related ” companies. The R espondent also ass essed each of the A pplicants with the exception of Ochr as being liable for penalty tax pursuant to s 72(2) of the LTMA and the T axation A dministration A ct 1996 (NSW) ( “ A dministration A ct ” ) . Each Applicant , except Ochr lodged an objection to the relevant re assessment. The Respondent disallowed the objection s by means of correspondence between 13 August 2024 and 30 September 2024. A letter from the Respondent of 30 September 2024 allowed the objections in part but confirmed that all Applicants were “ assessed correctly as related companies ” . The Applicants sought the Tribunal ’ s review of the re assessments by proceedings commenced on 28 November 2024. They identified the determination of objection of 30 September 2024 as the determination allowing them rights of review. Applicants’ right of review Where tax has been assessed, s 86 of the Administration Act, allows rights of objection to a taxpayer dissatisfied with an assessment , including a reassessment . This is an internal review process under which the Chief Commissioner of State Revenue, the Respondent in these proceedings, must consider and determine the objection (s 91 of the Administration Act). A taxpayer who is dissatisfied with the Respondent ’ s determination of an objection, may apply to the Tribunal for an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997 ( “ NSW ” ) ( “ ADR Act ” ) of the decision of the Chief Commissioner of State Revenue subject to the objection . These circumstances have arisen in the present matter as set out in the b ackground above , so bringing the matter within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal , except in respect of Ochr . There is no jurisdiction in respect of Ochr because there was no objection by Ochr and determination of any such objection . The onus of proving their case lies with the Applicant s (s 100(3) of the Administration Act). The Tribunal, dealing with the taxpayer’s application, may do one or more of the following under s 101 of the Administration Act: “(a) confirm or revoke the assessment or other decision to which the application relates, (b) make an assessment or other decision in place of the assessment or other decision to which the application relates, (c) make an order for payment to the Chief Commissioner of any amount of tax that is assessed as being payable but has not been paid, (d) remit the matter to the Chief Commissioner for determination in accordance with its finding or decision, (e) make any further order as to costs or otherwise as it thinks fit.” Consideration Liability for land tax Land tax is to be levied and paid on the taxable value of all land situated in New South Wales which is owned by taxpayers, other than land which is exempt from taxation under the LTMA (s 7). The rates of land tax payable are set out in the Land Tax Act 1956 (NSW). Section 29 of the LTMA deals with the taxation of “ related ” companies. It allows for such companies to be assessed jointly or as separate companies. Section 29 says: “ 29 Related companies (1) For the purposes of this section, 2 companies are related to each other— (a) if one of those companies holds a controlling interest in the other company, or (b) if the same person holds, or the same persons together hold, a controlling interest in both companies, or (c) if— (i) more than one-half of the issued share capital of one of those companies (in this paragraph referred to as the first company ) is held by the other company (in this paragraph referred to as the second company ) together with the shareholders of the second company, and (ii) the proportion of the issued share capital of the second company held by shareholders of the first company is more than the difference between one-half and the proportion of the issued share capital of the first company held by the second company, or (d) if one of those companies is related to a company to which the other of those companies is related (including a company which is related to the other of those companies by reason of another application or other applications of this paragraph). (1A) A person holds, or persons together hold, a controlling interest in a company if— (a) the person, or the persons acting together, can control the composition of the board of directors of the company, or (b) the person is, or the persons acting together are, in a position to cast or control the casting of more than half of the maximum number of votes that might be cast at a general meeting of the company, or (c) the person holds, or the persons acting together hold, more than half of the issued share capital of the company. (2) For the purposes of determining whether companies are related, the following provisions apply— (a) companies may be related to each other notwithstanding that those companies do not own land in New South Wales, (a1) in subsections (1) (b) and (1A), person includes company, (b) a reference to the issued share capital of a company does not include a reference to any part of that issued share capital that carries no right to participate beyond a specified amount in a distribution of either profits or capital, (c) any shares held or power exercisable by a person or company as a trustee or a nominee for another person or company— (i) are to be treated as held or exercisable by that other person or company, if the trust is a fixed trust, and (ii) are to be treated as not held or exercisable by the trustee or nominee (whether or not the trust is a fixed trust), (d) any shares held or power exercisable by a person or company by virtue of the provisions of any debentures of another company, or of a trust deed for securing any issue of any such debentures, shall be disregarded, (e) any shares held or power exercisable by, or by a nominee for, any person or company (not being held or exercisable as mentioned in paragraph (d)) shall be treated as not held or exercisable by that person or company if the ordinary business of that person or company includes the lending of money and the shares are held or the power is exercisable only by way of security given for the purposes of a transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business in connection with the lending of money, not being a transaction entered into with a person associated with that person or company within the meaning of Division 2 of Part 1.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, (f) without limiting by implication the circumstances in which the composition of a company’s board of directors is to be taken to be controlled by a person or another company, the composition of a company’s board of directors shall be taken to be controlled by a person or another company if that person or other company, by the exercise of some power exercisable whether with or without the consent or concurrence of any other person, can appoint or remove all or a majority of the directors. (3) The Chief Commissioner, in assessing the land tax payable by companies that are related to each other and that own land in New South Wales— (a) may assess— (i) all those companies separately, (ii) all those companies jointly, or (iii) any 2 or more of those companies jointly and the remainder separately, and (b) shall classify— (i) 1 of those companies, or, where a joint assessment is made, the companies jointly assessed, as a concessional company, and (ii) the remainder (if any) as non-concessional companies, and the companies shall be liable accordingly. (4) Where 2 or more companies are jointly assessed under subsection (3), those companies shall, for the purposes of that assessment, be deemed to be a single company. (5) Where 2 or more companies related to each other are liable for land tax (whether assessed separately or jointly), each company is liable jointly and severally to pay that tax. (6) Section 45 of the Taxation Administration Act 1996 applies to an amount payable under subsection (5). (7) If a company is classified as a non-concessional company, the company, and each of the companies that are related to it, are members of the same group”. Questions for determination The question for determination is whether or not the Applicants are “ related ” to each other within the meaning of s 29 of the LTMA . The Respondent ’ s submission is that they are related by reason of s 29(1)(b) and (d). The A pplicant s initially framed the question to be asked as one of whether two or more companies the shareholding of each of which is held by Addison o r Ev e ash are “ related ” companies for the purposes of s 29 o f the LTM A. The Respondent frame d the question differently , namely as w h ether all of the companies in each of the Addison G roup an d Eve ash G roup were relevantly related to each other be cause the same person holds or the same persons together hold a “ controlling interest ” in these companies . However the question is formulated, the question is whether or not any of the Applicants are “ related ” companies under s 29. The answer to that question determines these proceedings, whether the particular question takes the form asked by the Applicants or the Respondent. If the Respondent ’ s re assessment under review stands, a further question is whether or not the penalty tax assessed is properly assessable . Parties’ submissions - w as there a “controlling interest”? The R espon dent contended that as at the relevant taxing dates, Mr Nassif held a “ controlling interest ” in all of the A pplicants. He said that M r N assif he ld th at controlling interest as he was a person who could control the composition of the board of directors of each A pplicant and was in a position to cast or control the casting of more than half of the maximum number of votes that might be cast at a general meeting of each Applicant . The Respondent relied on the powers Mr N assif had under the C onstitution of each A pplicant to appoint directors or control the appointment and removal of directors . The Respondent also relied on the replaceable rules set out in the Corporations Act 2001 , other than in respect of one Applicant, 888 Place Pty Ltd . In the case of that company, the Respondent relied on specific provisions in its Constitution. The Respondent said that the powers Mr Nassif held bound each of the company, director and shareholder. This was because of the contract applying as between the m that arose from the relevant Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 . As a consequence, in the Respondent ’ s submission, Mr Nassif maintained the power to determine the composition of the board of each Applicant company and as such, could control the composition of the board of directors of each Applicant. The Respondent said that he could also control voting in the manner contemplated by s 29(1A)(b). The Applicant s , on the other hand, said that because Ad dison held 100% of the shares in each relevant A pplicant company non beneficially an d as trustee for the Ad dison T rust, it could not be concluded that either Addison or Mr Nassif had a “ controlling interest ” in those companies. This was b e cause s 29 ( 2 )(c)(ii) relevantly provided that any shares held or power exercisable by Ad dison as trustee , was to be treated as not held or exercisable by Ad dison. The Applicant s made the same submission in respect of the holding by Eveash as trustee of shares in member companies of the Eveash group. The A pplicants said that grouping should be restricted to cases where common ve sted beneficial ownership of the respective companies can be established. Th ey said that this was not the case for the A pplicant companies because the beneficial ownership in which they were held was subject to two relevant discretionary trust s. The A pplicant s say that there are not only different trusts involved but also different trustees in respect of each trust. They say that there is no justification for grouping based on there being a common director of the different companies. The Respondent , however , said that Mr Nassif ’ s power to control did not exist as an incident to the trustee ’ s shareholding or powers, but because of his directorships. The Respondent said that that common control resulted in the Applicants being “ related ” and subject to taxation as such. Determination of question of whether there was a “controlling interest” In the circumstances of this matter, t he pivotal concept requiring consideration is that of “ controlling interest ” . A “ controlling interest ” must be found before any of the Applicant companies can be “ related to each other ” within the meaning of s 29. Section 29(1A) sets out when a person (or persons together ) hold s a “ controlling interest ” . A “ controlling interest ” under s 29(1A) requires that the person ( or persons acting together ) can “ control the composition of the board of directors of the co mpa ny ” . Alternatively , a “ controlling interest ” can be found if the person ( or persons acting together ) are “ in a position to cast or control the casting of more than half of the maximum number of votes that m ight be c a st at a general meeting of the company ” . A third way a “ controlling interest ” can arise is if the person ( or persons acting together ) hold more than half of the issued share capital of the company. However, s 29(2) set s out further provisions that go to the determination of whether companies are “ related ” . Given that in the circumstances of the matter the Applicants will be treated as being “ related ” , depending on whether or not a “ controlling interest ” can be found within the meaning of s 29, the provisions set out in s 29(2) will have application to determin ing whether or not such a “ controlling interest ” can be found. Paragraph (c) of s 29(2) deals with situations where share s are held or a power is exercisable “ by a person or company as a trustee or a nominee for another person or company ” . W hat s 29(2)(c) says is that i n these circumstances, the relevant shares held or power are to be treated as “ not held or exercisable by the trustee or nominee ” . What s 29(2)(c) requires is hypothetical circumstances to be brought to bear upon the determination of whether or not a “ controlling interest ” exists within the meaning of s 29 , in cases where a trustee holds shares or can exercise a relevant power. The legislation require s the appl ication of s 29(1) and (1A) as if the trustee ’ s holding of shares or exercise of powers otherwise allowed effect under s 29 (1A) , had no effect . In the present circumstances, Addison and Eveash hold the shares in each of the relevant Applicant companies as trustees . T he effect of s 29(2)(c) is , first of all, to require s 29 to be applied as if neither of these companies held the shares in the relevant Applicants for the purposes of s 29 (1) and (1A). As a consequence , no “ controlling interest ” is allowed because of s 29(1A) (c) to Addison and Eveash by reason of their holding shares in relevant Applicant companies as trustee . Similarly, s 29(2)(c) prevents tak ing account of any powers that each of Addison and Eveash may otherwise exercise as trustee . In other words, the operation of s 29( 2 )(c) produces the result that powers of each of Addison and Eveash to do anything as shareholders in Applicant companies are taken not to be exercisable by them . The result is to deny them a “ controlling interest ” within the meaning of s 29 (1) and (1A) th at may otherwise have arisen, through exercise of any powers they have as shareholders . The submission of the Respondent , however , was that Mr Nassif held the relevant power to control the composition of the board of directors of each Applicant within the meaning of s 29(1A ) (a) , including by appointing or removing directors. The Respondent also said that Mr Nassif could have control over voting in the manner described in s 29(1A)(b). This was because as the sole director, these were matters within his power . The Respondent’s submission , however , does not have adequate regard to the existence of the trust over the shares of each Applicant company within the Addison Group and the Eveash Group and the consequences of the application of s 29(2)(c) in these circumstances . The effect of s 29(2)(c) (ii) , in my opinion, is to require shareholdings and powers of trustees to be disregarded in determining whether or not a “ controlling interest ” exists. Even if control and other powers of a kind that fall within s 2 9 (1A) (a) or (b) can be found to exist separately in the hands of Mr Nassif ( to which I give consider ation further below), I do not think that the existence of such control or abilities in his hands can displace the intended operation of s 29(2)(c) (ii) . Section 29(2)(c) (ii) , in my opinion, requir es ownership of shares and relevant powers to be disregarded, in cases where it is a trustee who is the shareholder or holder of the powers . This is a statutory scheme, which I think , contemplates that companies , whose shares are trust property , are not intended to be brought within the reach of s 29 so as to make them “related” to any other company . The statutory purpose would not be served by bringing to bear upon the workings of the scheme of s 29 , any relevant “ control ” or other powers over such companies found in the hands of some other person , so as to circumvent the effect and operation of s 29(2)(c). Section 29 ( 2 )(c)(i) makes particular provision in respect of “ fixed trust s ” . It provides that if shares are held or a power is exercisable by a person or company as trustee or nominee for another person or company, the shares are treated as being held and the powers as exercisable by that other person or company , where the trust is a fixed trust . The Addison Trust and Eveash Trust were not “ fixed trusts ” . This was not in dispute. As a consequence, s 29 ( 2 )(c)( i ) does not apply in the circumstances of the matter. In the case of other trusts, s 29(2)(c)(ii) provides that the relevant shares and powers are not to be treated as being held or exercisable by the trustee or nominee, without saying who instead is treated as the shareholder or person with the relevant powers instead of the trustee. T he absence of any such mention (unlike in the case of a fixed trust), I think evinces a statutory intention that no person will be taken to hold the relevant shares and exercise relevant powers. In the case of the holding of the Applicant companies by two trustees who are not the trustees of fixed trusts, it follows that s 29 operates to produce the result that no person is taken to hold the shares in these companies or exercise relevant powers as shareholders. The consequence is that they are not subject to the grouping rules under s 29. The Applicants initially addressed the question as being one of whether a relationship existed as between the Applicants on the basis that they form ed two groups under each of Addison or Eveash . The Respondent, on the other hand, submitted that there was a single group . For the reasons set out above, the holding of the shares in each Applicant company on trust , in my opinion, prevents the application of grouping under s 29 on either basis . This conclusion is sufficient to dispose of the matter. I will go on, however, to consider the remaining question of whether or not Mr Nassif has “control” or powers of the kind required under s 29(1A) (a) or (b) , by reason of being the sole director of the Applicant companies . The Respondent says that such “control ” and power lie with Mr Nassif . T he question of whether Mr Nassif has the kind of control and powers the Respondent asserts he has, arises in a context where e ach of Addison and Eveash hold their shares in the Applicants subject to the trusts of which they are trustees. In other words, Mr Nassif must perform his role as the director of companies in circumstances where the shares in those companies are trust property. How the shares in the Applicant companies are held and dealt with , and how each trustee must exercise the powers they hold as shareholders is determined not only by the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and other laws applying to corporations as such , but also by the trust instruments and applicable laws applying to trusts. In other words, Addison and Eveash do not hold their right s in respect of the shares they hold in each Applicant company simply as members , but also subject to their obligations as trustees. The trust in each case is a discretionary trust subject to which Addison and Eveash hold their shares in the Applicant companies . The trust instrument applying to each of these trusts deals with a range of matters, including the terms under which the trustee in each case, holds and deals with shares in the Applicants, being trust property. The law of trusts also imposes duties upon each of Addison and Eveash, including duties to preserve trust property. Mr Nassif himself remains bound by his duties as director of Addison and Eveash to ensure that these companies comply with their obligations as trustee having regard to the rights and interests of the beneficiaries of the trusts of which they are trustee ( Australasian Annuities Pty Ltd (in liq) v Rowley Super Fund Pty Ltd [2015] VSCA 9, at [228]). Any powers that Mr Nassif has as director of the Applicant companies themselves , including powers over appointment and removal of directors and casting of or control over votes , cannot be exercised in isolation from the context described above . It will not be open to Mr Nassif to exercise powers he has as a director to control the composition of the board of any Applicant , cast or control voting or do anything else , if done in a way that has no regard to the rights of each of Addison and Eveash as shareholders , if exercised in accordance with the terms of the relevant trust and their obligations as trustee. This includ es any ability Addison and Eveash themselves have to procure the appointment of a director by means of a resolution passed in a general meeting pursuant to the replaceable rule set out in s 201G of the Corporations Act 2001 . T he Constitution of each Applicant company contains provisions authorising a director relevantly to act in the best interest of the parent company. That provision is found in cl 8 of the Constitution of each Applicant company ex c e p t 888 Place Pty Ltd . Clause 16 of the Constitution of 888 Place Pty Ltd contains a comparable provision. While the applicable provision authorises but does not mandate Mr Nassif to act in the best interest of the relevant parent company, being Addison or Eveash, his holding of that authority is consistent with the proposition that the exercise of his powers as director is not a matter that exists in isolation but arises in the context of the wider arrangements involving the parent entities, both of which hold the shares in the Applicant companies as trustee. The “ control ” and powers that bring s 29(1A) (a) and (b) to life are not expressed to be qualified or limited in any way. I do not think that where control and powers of the relevant kind are constrained by circumstances of the kind described above, these are controls and powers that fall within the terms of s 29(1A). The matters set out at [5 6 ] - [ 63 ] above are not, in my opinion, circumstances that give Mr Nassif a “ control ling interest” over any Applicant within the meaning of s 29(1A) . Penalty tax Having found that the Applicants should not have been taxed as companies that are “related”, assessments made on th e basis that they were ”related” companies should be revoked. I do not in these circumstances need to consider whether penalty tax was properly assessed. Conclusions The onus is on the Applicant to show , on the balance of probabilities , that the evidence establishes the findings of fact necessary to enable the Tribunal to revoke the re assessment s of land tax remaining in dispute . I think they have done so. F or the reasons set out above , the Respondent ’ s re assessment s in dispute should be revoked and the matter remitted to the Respondent for further reassessment in accordance with these reasons . Ord ers The decision s under review are revoked. The matter is remitted to the Chief Commissioner of State Revenue for determination in accordance with these reasons. ********** I hereby certify that this is a true and accurate record of the reasons for decision of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales.
