Ancillary funds : reminder of guideline changes due to COVID
In June 2020, the ancillary fund guidelines were amended to encourage increased distributions to DGRs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ancillary funds have until 30 June 2021 to increase their distributions in line with the amendments to be eligible for a lower minimum annual distribution rate in future years.
Ancillary funds are advised, they must comply with the ancillary fund guidelines, and failure to do so may result in the imposition of penalties.
