How does Tax Ruling 2010/3 apply to an unpaid present entitlement?
As part of a divorce settlement and under a Family Law court order a car belonging to my private company in which I am the sole shareholder is to be transferred to my ex-wife. Is there a Division 7A implication?

- Yes. The transfer of the car will be deemed a dividend under Division 7A.
- However the dividend may be frankable since it is a family law obligation.
