Important changes have been made to the Commonwealth Bank Protected Portfolio Loan (PPL) Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) which we would like to make you aware of.

1. Supplementary PDS (SPDS)

On 13 May 2008 the Government announced in the 2008-09 Budget that it proposes to make a change to the capital protected borrowing rules (which are relevant to the amount of PPL interest that an investor can deduct in a particular income year). The announcement indicates that the change to the rules will apply to PPLs entered into after 7.30 pm (AEST) on 13 May 2008.

Commonwealth Bank has obtained an updated Taxation Opinion from Greenwoods & Freehills which discusses how the Budget announcement potentially affects investors of the PPL.  The updated Taxation Opinion is included in the
Supplementary PDS, and for ease of reference, the text relating to the Budget announcement has been underlined.

You should read the updated Taxation Opinion carefully and seek independent taxation advice when determining the effect of the announcement on a potential investment in the PPL.  New PPL application forms need to be accompanied by a signed SPDS.

2. Anti-Money Laundering documentation (AML)
Commonwealth Bank is required to collect additional information from investors to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

In the event you are considering a PPL investment and are not an existing customer of Commonwealth Bank, please ensure the AML paperwork above is completed and accompanied with the PPL application form.
