Partnerships formed on and after 30 June 2021 are required to satisfy the economic substance test from the date on which they commence a relevant activity. Partnerships formed prior to 30 June 2021 are required to satisfy the economic substance test from 1 January 2022. All partnerships, irrespective of formation date, will be required to notify the Tax Information Authority on or before January in each year of their operations in the jurisdiction during the prior year.
