CD 22 Returns of capital: off-market share cancellations When this section applies This section applies when a company pays an amount to a shareholder because of the off-market cancellation of a share in the company, other than on liquidation of the company.
Ordering rule The amount is not a dividend to the extent to which it is less than or equal to the available subscribed capital per share cal- culated under the ordering rule, if— (a) (b) 1 of the bright line tests in subsection (3) is met; and the company is not an unlisted trust that has chosen the slice rule for the share under subsection (4); and the anti-avoidance rule in subsection (6) does not apply.
(c) Bright line tests The bright line tests referred to in subsection (2)(a) are as fol- lows: (a) the cancellation is part of a pro rata cancellation that re- sults in a ﬁfteen percent capital reduction for the com- pany: the cancellation is part of a pro rata cancellation that re- sults in a ten percent capital reduction for the company and the Commissioner has given a notice under subsec- tion (8): the cancellation is not part of a pro rata cancellation and results in the shareholder suffering a ﬁfteen percent interest reduction: the company is an unlisted trust and the cancellation is not part of a pro rata cancellation: the share is a non-participating redeemable share.
(b) (c) (d) (e) Unlisted trusts choosing slice rule If the company is an unlisted trust, it may issue a share on terms that the ordering rule does not apply and that instead the slice rule applies to the cancellation.

If this happens, the amount paid is not a dividend to the extent to which it is less than or equal to the available subscribed capital per share calculated under the slice rule (but still subject to the anti-avoidance rule in subsection (6)).

(ii) (b) Overriding anti-avoidance rule Neither subsection (2) nor (4) excludes an amount paid by a company on cancellation of a share from being a dividend if any part of the payment is in lieu of the payment of a dividend.
Factors relevant in applying anti-avoidance rule For the purposes of applying subsection (6), the following fac- tors must be considered: (a) the nature and amount of dividends paid by the com- pany before or after the cancellation; and the issue of shares in the company after the cancellation; and the expressed purpose or purposes of the cancellation; and any other relevant factor.

Amounts calculated quarterly The amount of the dividend is calculated for each quarter dur- ing which the property is made available.

Date when amounts treated as paid The amount of the dividend calculated for a quarter is treated as being paid by the company to the person and as being de- rived by the person 6 months after the end of the company’s in- come year.
However, if the company gives notice to the share- holder on an earlier date of the amount of the dividend for that quarter, the amount is treated as being paid and derived on that earlier date instead.
Using FBT rules Unless the property made available is a loan, the amount of the dividend for each quarter is the value of the fringe beneﬁt for that quarter calculated under the fringe beneﬁt tax (FBT) rules as if— (1) (2) (3) (4) 200 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part C s CD 39 (5) (6) (7) (a) making the property available were the provision of a fringe beneﬁt by the company to an employee in relation to employment, despite anything in sections CX 6 to CX 38 (which relate to fringe beneﬁts); and the company were not to choose to pay fringe beneﬁt tax on an income year basis under section RD 60 (Close company option).
(b) Using difference from benchmark rate If the property made available is a loan, the amount of the divi- dend for each quarter is the excess, if any, of interest, calcu- lated for the quarter on the basis of the daily balance of the loan and the benchmark rate speciﬁed in subsections (6) to (8), over the actual amount of interest accruing on the loan in the quarter.
However, the company may choose instead to calcu- late the dividend as the excess of the benchmark interest rate amount over the amount of income accruing to the company in the quarter calculated under the yield to maturity method.
Benchmark rate: fringe beneﬁt tax rate for certain loans For the purposes of subsection (5), the benchmark rate of in- terest is the prescribed rate of interest if— (a) all amounts payable to the company for the loan are expressed in New Zealand dollars; and either the borrower is not a company or, if the borrower is another company, the company making the loan no- tiﬁes the Commissioner that this subsection is to apply to the loan and the quarter.

Daily loan balance: certain repayments backdated For the purposes of subsection (5), in determining the daily balance of a loan during a tax year, an amount repaid during the tax year is treated as having been applied in repayment of the loan at the start of the company’s tax year or, if later, the day the loan was made, if— (a) the amount is repaid by applying any salary, wages, ex- tra pay, dividends, or interest payable by the company to the borrower; and the amount payable by the company is income of the borrower in the tax year or an earlier tax year; and the amount payable by the company is payable without any amount of tax being withheld and paid under the PAYE rules, the RWT rules, or the NRWT rules.
(b) (c) Daily loan balance: company nominating amount (10) Subject to subsection (9), for the purposes of subsection (5), the daily balance of the loan for a tax year is treated as being equal to the notional balance chosen under subsection (11) by the company making the loan if— (a) (b) (c) the borrower is a company; and the loan is a variable principal debt instrument; and the company making the loan notiﬁes the Commis- sioner that this subsection applies for the loan and the tax year; and the amount of the dividend calculated as a result for the loan, the borrower, and the tax year is no more than 30% greater or less than the amount that would be calculated if this section did not apply.

(ii) Notice generally by tax returns (12) Reference in this section to a company notifying the Commis- sioner is a reference to— (a) (b) a notice given to the Commissioner with the company’s return of income for the relevant tax year; or if no return is required, a notice given by the date on which a return would be required to be ﬁled for the tax year if a return had been required.
Attributed repatriation dividends (13) No amount of dividend arises under section CD 4 as a result of any difference between the interest, if any, payable by a person to a CFC in an accounting period of the CFC under a loan and the benchmark rate of interest speciﬁed in any of subsections (6) to (8) if— (a) the outstanding balance of the loan at the end of the ac- counting period is taken into account under sections CD 46 to CD 52 in calculating the New Zealand repatriation amount of the CFC for the accounting period; and as a result, the person derives a dividend under section CD 21.

CE 2 Value and timing of beneﬁts under share purchase agreements (1) (2) (3) (4) What this section does This section determines the value of a beneﬁt that an employee receives under a share purchase agreement and the allocation of the beneﬁt to a particular income year.

If restrictions apply to the disposal of shares received under a share purchase agree- ment, CE 3 applies.
If employees acquire shares If an employee acquires shares under a share purchase agree- ment, the value of the beneﬁt to the employee is the amount by which the value of the shares when they were acquired is more than the amount paid or payable for them.

The employee receives the beneﬁt in the income year in which they acquire the shares.
If employees dispose of rights to non-associates If an employee disposes of their rights under a share purchase agreement to a person who is not associated with them, the value of the beneﬁt is the consideration for the disposal of the rights.

The employee receives the beneﬁt in the income year in which they dispose of the rights.
If associates acquire shares If, following 1 or more transactions between associated per- sons, an associated person acquires the shares under a share purchase agreement, the value of the beneﬁt is the difference between the value of the shares on the date of acquisition by the associated person and the amount paid or payable for them.

If the difference is negative, the value is zero.

The employee receives the beneﬁt in the income year in which the associated person acquires the shares.
(5) If associates dispose of rights to non-associates If, following 1 or more transactions between associated per- sons, a person who is not an associated person acquires the rights under a share purchase agreement, the value of the bene- 225 Part C s CE 2 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 ﬁt is the consideration paid for that disposal.

The employee receives the beneﬁt in the income year in which the last asso- ciated person disposes of the rights.
If shares transferred when employees end employment or die The value of the beneﬁt is zero if a share purchase agreement provides unconditionally that, when the employee ends their employment or service or dies, the shares must be transferred to the employer or to the person from whom they were ac- quired, either without consideration or for a consideration no more than that paid by the employee.
If beneﬁts arise under approved schemes The value of the beneﬁt is zero if the beneﬁt arises under a share purchase scheme.

Disposal of rights under share purchase option For the purposes of subsection (3), a disposal of rights under a share purchase agreement includes the cancellation of a share option in return for a cash payment.
Reduction of value of beneﬁt in circumstances relating to non-resident The value of a beneﬁt arising from a period of employment is reduced, from the value that the beneﬁt would have in the absence of this subsection,— (a) if, when the employee acquires the shares under the share purchase agreement or disposes of the rights under the share purchase agreement, the employee is a transitional resident; and by an amount calculated using the formula— (b) Deﬁned in this Act: amount, associated person, employee, employer, income year, non-resident, pay, share, share purchase agreement, share purchase scheme, transitional resident Compare: 2004 No 35 s CE 2 (6) (7) (8) (9) 226 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part C s CE 3 CE 3 Restrictions on disposal of shares under share purchase agreements Effect of restrictions (1) When the beneﬁt to an employee under a share purchase agree- ment is being valued, a restriction in the agreement on the dis- posal of the shares is taken into account only if the restriction is of a kind described in subsection (2) or (3).
(2) (3) (4) First restriction The ﬁrst restriction is one that applies for a period that ends— at least 8 years after the end of the tax year in which the (a) employee receives the beneﬁt; or with the date of the employee’s death.
(b) Second restriction The second restriction is one that— (a) applies for a period that ends— (i) (b) at least 8 years after the end of the tax year in which the employee receives the beneﬁt; or (ii) with the date of the employee’s death; and provides that an employee who ends their employment or service before the end of the period must uncondi- tionally transfer some or all of the shares to the em- ployer or to the person from whom the employee ac- quired them, either without consideration or for a con- sideration that is no more than that paid by the em- ployee.
Transfers of shares under relationship agreements If a share purchase agreement does not restrict an employee from transferring the shares under a relationship agreement, but the disposal of the shares by the person to whom the shares are transferred is restricted for a period that ends at least 8 years after the end of the tax year in which the employee would otherwise have received the beneﬁt or after the death of the employee, then the restriction is treated as applying to the em- ployee.

567 Part D s DT 1A Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Subpart DT—Petroleum mining expenditure Petroleum exploration expenditure DT 1A Ring-fenced allocations When this section applies This section applies to an amount of a person’s deductions for expenditure and loss for an income year to the extent to which it is— (a) (b) (c) petroleum exploration expenditure: petroleum development expenditure: residual expenditure.
Basis for allocation of deductions If, but for this subsection, an amount that relates to petroleum mining operations undertaken outside New Zealand would be allocated to an income year (the current year), including an amount carried forward and allocated to the current year, the amount that is allocated to the current year is no more than the amount of the person’s income derived for the current year from all petroleum mining operations undertaken outside New Zealand.
Excess allocations: carried forward and re-instated next year Any excess not allocated to the current year because of sub- section (2) is carried forward and treated as— (a) relating to petroleum mining operations undertaken out- side New Zealand for the next income year; and allocated to that next income year.
(b) Restriction on reinstating excess allocations Despite subsection (3), the excess is not allocated to the next income year, and no deduction is allowed or allocated to any income year for the excess, if sections IA 5 and IP 3 (which re- late to the carrying forward of tax losses for companies) would not have allowed the excess to be carried forward to that next income year in a loss balance, treating the excess as a tax loss component arising on the last day of the current year.

Amount of deduction The person is allowed a deduction in an income year for the expenditure described in subsection (1)(a) but only to the ex- tent of an amount equal to the greater of zero and the amount calculated using the formula— expenditure − (consideration − lesser amount).
Exclusion If consideration for the property is derived in an income year, the person’s deductions in earlier income years for the ex- penditure described in subsection (1)(a) are reduced so that the total of those deductions is equal to the greater of zero and the amount calculated using the formula— previous expenditure − consideration.
Deﬁnition of items in formulas In the formulas in subsections (2) and (3),— (a) expenditure is the amount of expenditure for which the person would be allowed a deduction in the income year under section DT 1(1): consideration is the total consideration for the property that is derived before or during the income year: lesser amount is the lesser of— (i) (ii) the amount of consideration; and the amount of expenditure for which a person would be allowed a deduction in earlier income years under section DT 1(1): previous expenditure is the amount of expenditure for which a person would be allowed a deduction in earlier income years under section DT 1(1).

Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula are deﬁned in subsections (3) and (4).
Taxable income Taxable income is the amount that would be the master super- annuation fund’s taxable income in the tax year in which the expenditure is incurred in the absence of sections DV 2 to DV 4.
Non-resident passive income Non-resident passive income is the total of any amounts of non-resident passive income of any of the kinds to which sec- tion RF 2(5) (Non-resident passive income) applies derived by the master superannuation fund in the corresponding income year in which the expenditure is incurred.

Surplus carried forward The member superannuation fund carries the surplus expend- iture forward to the next income year and takes the following steps: (a) (b) (c) (d) it gets the combined expenditure by adding the surplus expenditure to the expenditure, if any, incurred by it in the income year that it chooses to treat as being incurred by the master superannuation fund: it calculates the maximum deduction for the income year, using the formula in section DV 3: if the combined expenditure is the same as or less than the maximum deduction, it— (i) treats the surplus expenditure as expenditure in- curred by the master superannuation fund in de- riving assessable income in the income year; and applies subsections (5) to (8): (ii) if the combined expenditure is more than the maximum deduction, it— (i) carries forward the new surplus expenditure to the next income year; and applies subsection (4).
(ii) (4) (5) Surplus dealt with until gone The member superannuation fund repeats the steps in subsec- tion (3) for the following income years until all surplus ex- penditure is deducted.

Deduction allowed to master superannuation fund Expenditure treated under subsection (3)(c)(i) as incurred by the master superannuation fund in deriving income is allowed as a deduction in the income year in which it is so treated.

The amount of the deduction is limited by subsection (6).
599 Part D s DV 4 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Amount of deduction The maximum amount of a deduction under subsection (5) is the maximum deduction for the income year, calculated using the formula in section DV 3.

Deducted expenditure not incurred by member superannuation fund Expenditure for which the master superannuation fund is al- lowed a deduction is treated as not being incurred by the mem- ber superannuation fund.
Sequential deductions Expenditure for which the master superannuation fund is al- lowed a deduction must be deducted in sequence according to the income year in which the member superannuation fund in- curred it.

Member fund carrying expenditure forward The member fund may carry forward the surplus expenditure for transfer under section DV 2(8B) in a later income year.

Expenditure as loss balance If the member fund carries forward surplus expenditure in an income year, the member fund may treat some or all of the expenditure as a loss balance for the corresponding tax year.

DV 5 Investment funds: transfer of expenditure to master funds Other entities When this section applies This section applies when— (1) 601 Part D s DV 5 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (a) (b) (c) a group investment fund that derives category A in- come, a public unit trust, or a superannuation fund (the member fund) invests some or all of its funds in a mas- ter fund; and while the member fund has funds invested in the mas- ter fund, the member fund incurs expenditure of a kind described in subsection (2); and the member fund has some or all of its funds invested in the master fund throughout the period starting at the time at which the member fund incurs the expenditure and ending with the close of the last day of the income year in which the expenditure is deducted by the master fund under this section.
Expenditure described The expenditure is expenditure for which the member fund is allowed a deduction,— (a) including expenditure on a ﬁnancial arrangement that is denominated in New Zealand dollars and for which ex- penditure is allocated using the yield to maturity method set out in subpart EW (Financial arrangements rules); and not including— (i) expenditure on any other ﬁnancial arrangement; or expenditure on revenue account property.
(ii) (b) (b) When expenditure becomes master fund’s The expenditure incurred by the member fund may be trans- ferred to the master fund, subject to the following conditions: the member fund and the master fund must agree to the (a) transfer of the expenditure; and the member fund may transfer expenditure only to the extent to which it has a tax loss in the corresponding tax year, with the tax loss calculated as if this section did not exist; and a member fund that is a group investment fund that de- rives category A income may transfer only expenditure that relates to the category A income.
(c) (2) (3) 602 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part D s DV 5 (4) (5) (6) (7) Income year in which investment stops In an income year in which the member fund stops investing in the master fund,— (a) neither the master fund nor the member fund is allowed a deduction for expenditure that would otherwise be transferable; and the member fund must treat the expenditure as a loss balance.
(b) When expenditure incurred The expenditure referred to in subsection (3) is treated as being incurred by the master fund in the income year in which it is transferred by the member fund.
Deduction allowed to master fund The master fund is allowed a deduction for the expenditure, subject to the following conditions: (a) a master fund that is a group investment fund that de- rives category A income may deduct expenditure only from its category A income; and the amount of the deduction is limited by subsection (7).
(b) Amount of deduction The formula in section DV 6 is used to calculate the maximum deduction that the master fund is allowed for expenditure of the member fund treated as being incurred by the master fund.

Amount of deduction when master fund is multi-rate PIE (7B) Despite subsection (7), a master fund that is a multi-rate PIE is allowed a deduction for expenditure transferred to it by a member fund.
However, the maximum amount transferred must be no more than the member fund’s share of the taxable income of the PIE for the income year in which the amount is transferred, any excess being treated as not transferred.
(8) Additional transfer If, after the date on which the master fund has ﬁled its return of income, the master fund is able to deduct more than the amount actually deducted, the Commissioner may allow the member fund to transfer expenditure to the extent of the difference after the return of income has been ﬁled.

For the election to be effective, it must be made jointly by all the owners.

Ineffective election If there is no effective election, speciﬁed livestock owned jointly is valued as follows: (a) if the owners bail or lease the livestock to another per- son during the income year, under the market value method; or if the owners enter into a proﬁt-sharing arrangement for the livestock, under the market value method; or in any other case, under the national standard cost scheme.
(b) (c) Proﬁt-sharing arrangements If the method used in an income year to calculate the value of livestock under a proﬁt-sharing arrangement is the national standard cost scheme or the cost price method, all the follow- ing are treated as the single owner of the livestock: the person who owns the livestock; and (a) the person who has the use of the livestock; and (b) any other person who has made livestock of the same (c) type available to the person referred to in paragraph (b) under a proﬁt-sharing arrangement.
Partnerships interests For the purpose of an election under this section, a person’s interest in a partnership that owns livestock is treated separ- ately from any other interest that the person has in livestock.

Separate elections are required for the person’s partnership in- terest and for their other livestock interests.

The person is not required to choose the same valuation method in both cases.

Valuation The value of speciﬁed livestock owned by the new partnership must be taken into account in the way the old partnership de- termines the value of livestock of the particular type at the end of the income year in which the new partnership is formed.

If the old partnership has no speciﬁed livestock of the type on hand at the end of the income year, the value is taken into ac- count as the old partnership would have determined it, had it owned speciﬁed livestock of that type.

A person may also adopt a recalculated ratio by giving notice in the same way.

Chatham Islands livestock Herd value ratios calculated under subsection (5) do not apply to livestock on the Chatham Islands.

The Chatham Islands adjustment to the herd value ratio is dealt with in section EC 19.

673 Part E s EC 18 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (4) (5) Assessment of average value For the purpose of calculating a herd value ratio, a person must obtain from a recognised livestock valuer an assessment of the value of an average animal of that person in each applicable class of livestock.

The value is determined as at the 30 April that is closest to the day on which the national average market values are set.
Calculation of herd value ratio The herd value ratio for livestock of a particular type is calcu- lated by using the formula in subsection (6) and rounding the result of the calculation to the nearest of the following ﬁgures: 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3.
Formula The formula is— (6) (7) Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,— (a) (b) (c) Σ is the total of the individual calculations for all ap- plicable classes of livestock type valued under the herd scheme: average value is the average value of an animal in a class as described in subsection (4): number is the number of all livestock of that class on hand at the end of the income year, including livestock that are not in the herd scheme, but not including high- priced livestock: herd value is the herd value of livestock for a class.

Existing cost base For the speciﬁed livestock, the entering partner is treated as having the same existing cost base that the exiting partner would have had for the purposes of the cost price method or national standard cost scheme for an income year, if they had not disposed of the interests.
Addition to cost base For the purposes of determining the value of the speciﬁed live- stock at the end of an income year for the purposes of section EC 2, the entering partner must add to the existing cost base, described in subsection (2), the amount for the income year (the current year) calculated using the following formula: livestock cost base difference × current year count allowed years.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,–– (a) (b) livestock cost base difference is the cost base that the entering partner would have for the speciﬁed livestock at the end of the income year in which the acquisition of the speciﬁed livestock occurred, ignoring subsection (2) reduced by the entering partner’s existing cost base for the speciﬁed livestock at the end of that year, described in subsection (2).
It must be a positive number: current year count,–– (i) is the allowed years reduced by the number of years between the current year and the income year in which the entering partner’s acquisition of the speciﬁed livestock occurred, ignoring years in which the partners do not use the cost price method or national standard cost scheme (for ex- ample: current year count is 1, if the allowed (1) (2) (3) (4) 680 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EC 27 years is 4, and the acquisition of the speciﬁed livestock occurred in the 2010–11 income year, and the current year is the 2013–14 income year, and the relevant method or scheme was used for all relevant income years): (ii) may equal the allowed years (for example: the current year is the same year as the income year in which the entering partner’s acquisition of the speciﬁed livestock occurred), but must not be a negative number: (c) allowed years is–– (i) 4, if the partners acquire or dispose of any part- nership interests that include any livestock after the entering partner’s acquisition of the speciﬁed livestock and before the end of the income year in which that acquisition occurred; or 5, if the partners do not acquire or dispose of any partnership interests that include any livestock after the entering partner’s acquisition of the spe- ciﬁed livestock and before the end of the income year in which that acquisition occurred.

Person chooses valuation method A person may choose to use either the straight-line method or the diminishing value method to value high-priced livestock.
683 Part E s EC 33 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (3) Diminishing value method If the person chooses to use the diminishing value method, they must give notice to the Commissioner that they are using the method at the time of ﬁling their return of income for the ﬁrst income year in which the value of the high-priced live- stock is determined under EC 34.

The person cannot revoke their election to use the diminishing value method for the live- stock.
Deﬁned in this Act: Commissioner, high-priced livestock, income year, notice, return of income Compare: 2004 No 35 s EC 32 EC 33 Determining depreciation percentages (1) (2) (3) Determined by Commissioner The Commissioner must determine a depreciation percent- age for an income year for each type, class, or category of high-priced livestock.

Purpose The percentage represents the average percentage decline in the value of livestock of the type, class, or category.
Factors The Commissioner must take into account— (a) the average cost of livestock of the type, class, or cat- egory; and the estimated useful life of the livestock; and the average estimated residual market value of the live- stock.
(b) (c) Deﬁned in this Act: class, Commissioner, depreciation percentage, estimated residual market value, estimated useful life, high-priced livestock, income year, type Compare: 2004 No 35 s EC 33 EC 34 General rule Value in income year of purchase and later income years The closing value of high-priced livestock at the end of the income year in which it is bought is its cost price minus the reduction applying in the income year.
In a later income year, the value is its opening value minus the reduction applying in the income year until the value reaches or falls below the na- (1) 684 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EC 34 tional average market value for the class to which the livestock belongs.

Straight-line method (2) When a person has chosen to use the straight-line method, the reduction is calculated using the formula— cost price × depreciation percentage.
Diminishing value method (3) When a person has chosen to use the diminishing value method, the reduction is calculated as follows: (a) in the ﬁrst income year in which the election applies, the cost price multiplied by the diminishing value equiva- lent of the depreciation percentage for the income year: in later income years, the opening value of the livestock multiplied by the diminishing value equivalent of the depreciation percentage for the income year.
(b) (4) (5) Meaning of diminishing value equivalent In this section, diminishing value equivalent, for a depre- ciation percentage, means the diminishing value depreciation rate in schedule 12, column 1 (Old banded rates of depreci- ation) to which the amount in column 2 equal to the depreci- ation percentage is the straight-line equivalent.
Two qualiﬁca- tions are— (a) if no amount in column 2 is equal to the depreciation percentage, the amount closest to it is taken; and if 2 amounts in column 2 are equidistant from the de- preciation percentage, the depreciation percentage is rounded down.

(b) Exclusions This section does not apply in the cases described in sections EC 35 and EC 36.

Livestock no longer used for breeding This section also applies to high-priced livestock that, in an income year, a person— (a) does not expect to use for breeding for that or any later income year; and does not intend to dispose of to any other person to use for breeding.
(b) Closing value The closing value of the high-priced livestock at the end of the income year is determined as follows: (a) when the person values any speciﬁed livestock of that type under the herd scheme for the income year, the value of the animal under the herd scheme; and when the person values all speciﬁed livestock of that type that is older than 1 year under the national stand- ard cost scheme or the cost price method, the national average market value for the income year of livestock of the class to which the animal belongs; and when the person values all speciﬁed livestock of that type that is older than 1 year under the market value method or the replacement price method, the market value or replacement price of the animal at the end of the income year.
(b) (c) Valuation in later income years In later income years, the animal that was high-priced live- stock is treated as the person’s speciﬁed livestock and is valued under the valuation method the person chooses for speciﬁed livestock of the type to which the animal belongs.
Entry into herd scheme in later income years This subsection applies if, in a later income year (year A), the person values any speciﬁed livestock of the same type as the (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) 686 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EC 37 animal under the herd scheme and, in the next year, values the animal under the herd scheme.

Cost reduced: input tax The item’s cost is reduced by subtracting the amount, if any, of input tax applying to the supply of the item to the person.

This subsection is overridden by subsection (3).

Cost reduced: input tax This subsection applies to an item that was not acquired or produced for the principal purpose of making taxable supplies but is applied in an income year principally for that purpose.
The item’s cost is reduced by subtracting a proportion of the amount, if any, calculated under sections 21F and 21G, and deductible under section 20(3)(e), of the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.

The proportion is the proportion of the amount that arises from the application of the item in the income year principally for the purpose of making taxable supplies.
Cost increased: output tax This subsection applies to an item that was acquired or pro- duced for the principal purpose of making taxable supplies but is applied in an income year other than for that purpose.

The item’s cost is increased by adding the amount, if any, of out- put tax charged in the income year for the supply of the item because section 21 of the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 applies to the supply.

EW 15D IFRS ﬁnancial reporting method General IFRS rules Under the IFRS ﬁnancial reporting method, a person must al- locate an amount to an income year under IFRS rules modiﬁed, as applicable, under subsection (2).

Modiﬁcations The allocation is modiﬁed as follows: (a) if the ﬁnancial arrangement is a ﬁnancial asset, an amount arising from an impaired credit adjustment under IFRSs is not allocated to an income year.
How- ever, when the fair value method is used, adjustments for ﬁnancial arrangements held by the person are excluded from this paragraph, if the ﬁnancial arrange- ments are not derivative instruments and the person’s business includes dealing in those ﬁnancial arrange- ments: borrowing costs are not capitalised under NZIAS 23: even though an amount arising from the use of the fair value method may be allocated to equity reserves under IFRSs, the amount must be allocated to an income year for tax purposes.
(ab) (b) Fair value method not used for certain ﬁnancial arrangements (2B) A person must not use the fair value method for a ﬁnancial arrangement if— (a) the ﬁnancial arrangement is treated under IFRSs by the person as a hedge of another ﬁnancial arrangement; and the person uses a method other than the IFRS ﬁnancial reporting method for the other ﬁnancial arrangement.
(b) 895 Part E s EW 15E Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (3) Meaning of impaired credit adjustment For the purposes of this section, impaired credit adjustment means— (a) for a ﬁnancial arrangement accounted for under the fair value method, the movement in fair value through the decline in credit quality of the arrangement: for a ﬁnancial arrangement not accounted for under the fair value method, credit impairment adjustments made under IFRSs.

(c) (d) Detailed calculation rules In each category, more detailed calculation rules appear in sec- tion EX 5.
Four categories of control interests Accordingly, the rules in section EX 3 for calculating control interests by totalling various direct and indirect control inter- ests and associated parties’ interests are applied on a category by category basis, by reference to those categories of direct control interest.

(c) (d) (2) Percentage of total is counted The direct control interest in each control interest category is the percentage of the total that the person holds.
Measurement of available subscribed capital (3) When the direct control interest in the category in subsection (1)(a) is calculated, the percentage is the total of the available subscribed capital per share calculated under the slice rule of the shares held as a percentage of the total available subscribed capital per share calculated under the slice rule of all shares in the company.
Varying decision-making rights (4) When the direct control interest in the category in subsection (1)(b) is calculated, if the percentage varies between the rights described in the different paragraphs of the deﬁnition of share- holder decision-making rights in section YA 1 (Deﬁnitions), the highest percentage is taken.
Income distribution rights: assumptions (5) When the direct control interest in the category in subsection (1)(c) is calculated, it is assumed that— (a) the income is distributed on the last day of the account- ing period; and the person’s entitlement is unchanged during the period; and a payment of interest on a debenture subject to section FA 2 (Recharacterisation of certain debentures), FA 2B (b) (c) 961 Part E s EX 6 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (Stapled debt securities), or FZ 1 (Treatment of interest payable under debentures issued before certain date) is a distribution of income.

EX 6 Direct control interests include options and similar rights Entitlement to acquire or extinguish For the purposes of section EX 5, a person is treated as holding something if they are entitled to acquire it or extinguish it.
Entitlement arises in various ways A person is entitled to acquire or extinguish something if the entitlement is absolute or contingent and whether the entitle- ment— (a) (b) (c) (d) arises under a company’s constitution; or arises under the terms of an option; or arises under the terms of a convertible note; or arises under the terms of any arrangement substantially similar to any of those described in paragraphs (a) to (c); or arises in some other way.
(e) Standard security arrangements Despite subsections (1) and (2), a person is not treated as being entitled to acquire something if— (a) (b) the entitlement arises under a security arrangement; and the person acquired the security arrangement in a trans- action entered into on an arm’s length basis; and the security arrangement’s terms conform to generally accepted commercial practice.

Attribution of CFC’s direct interests A CFC’s direct control interest in another foreign company is attributed under subsections (3) to (11).

Associates For the purposes of this section, the CFC is treated as also holding any direct control interests in the foreign company held by persons associated with the CFC.
Attribution to smallest controlling group Subsections (6) to (11) apply to attribute the CFC’s direct control interests to the smallest controlling group, to ensure that the attribution exercise does not dilute recognition of a factual chain of control.

Attribution on basis of respective income interests If the CFC’s direct control interests are attributed to more than 1 person, the direct control interests are divided in proportion to each group member’s respective income interest in the CFC.
One controlling group If there is only 1 group of New Zealand residents whose con- trol interests have caused the CFC to be a CFC under section EX 1, the CFC’s direct control interests are treated as being held by that group.

Equal smallest groups If there are 2 or more groups that are equally the smallest, and 1 group has the greatest total control interests in the CFC, the attribution is to that group.

Equal smallest groups with equal greatest control interests If there are 2 or more smallest groups with equal greatest total control interests in the CFC, the attribution is made in full to each group.
No double counting (10) Despite subsection (9), for the purpose of determining whether a foreign company is a CFC, a direct control interest may be counted only once.

EX 21 Attributable CFC amount and net attributable CFC income or loss: calculation rules Calculation rules for CFC The rules in this section apply for the purposes of— (1) 992 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 21 (a) (b) (c) calculating the attributable CFC amount for a CFC under section EX 20B: calculating the net attributable CFC income or loss for a CFC under section EX 20C: determining under section EX 21D whether a CFC is a non-attributing active CFC.
Calculation rules for test group of CFCs (1B) For the purpose of determining under section EX 21D whether a member of a group of CFCs is a non-attributing active CFC,— (a) the consolidated annual gross income of the group is calculated under the rules in this section; and the consolidated attributable CFC amount of the group is calculated under the rules in this section.
(b) (2) (3) (4) (5) CFC treated as New Zealand resident The rules in this Act are applied as if the CFC were always a New Zealand resident.

Modiﬁcations to rules However, the rules in the Act are modiﬁed for the purposes of the calculation by the following subsections.
Conversion to New Zealand dollars The taxpayer must choose— (a) (b) for all the calculations to be done in New Zealand dol- lars; or for all the calculations to be done in the currency of the CFC’s ﬁnancial accounts; and if the CFC has no ﬁnan- cial accounts, the currency used is that of the CFC’s country of residence, the result being then converted into New Zealand dollars at the average of the close of trading spot exchange rates for the 15th day of each complete month that falls in the period.
Consent for change of currency Having chosen a currency, the taxpayer must use the same currency for calculating attributable CFC amount and net at- tributable CFC income or loss attributable to the CFC for each later consecutive accounting period, unless the Commissioner allows the taxpayer to choose again.
993 Part E s EX 21 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Change for commercial purpose The Commissioner may consent to a change under subsection (5) only if satisﬁed that— (a) the taxpayer’s main purpose in changing is a commer- cial one, and for this purpose, the reducing of tax is not a commercial purpose; and the change does not have an effect of defeating the intent and application of subpart CQ (Attributed income from foreign equity) or DN (Attributed losses from foreign equity) or this subpart.
(b) New Zealand currency for ﬁnancial arrangements Despite subsections (4) to (6), New Zealand currency calcu- lations must be used to calculate that part of the attributable CFC amount and net attributable CFC income or loss arising from ﬁnancial arrangements if— (a) the total value of ﬁnancial arrangements to which the CFC is a party is more than $1,000,000 at any time dur- ing the relevant accounting period, applying section EW 17(2)(b) (Straight-line method) to measure the values; or the CFC’s total net foreign exchange loss attributable to ﬁnancial arrangements, calculated under subsec- tions (4) to (6) for the accounting period, is more than $100,000.
(b) Limit to subsection (7) Subsection (7) does not apply to a ﬁnancial arrangement if— (a) (b) it is a variable principal debt instrument; and all the rights and obligations of all the parties to the ﬁ- nancial arrangement are expressed in the currency cho- sen under subsection (4)(b); and no other party to the ﬁnancial arrangement is associated with the CFC; and no person enters into the ﬁnancial arrangement under an arrangement that has a purpose of defeating the appli- cation of subsection (7).
(c) (d) Opening cost base: tangible assets: ﬁrst period If the taxpayer had no attributed CFC income or loss from the CFC for the previous accounting period, the taxpayer must (6) (7) (8) (9) 994 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 21 (10) (11) (12) choose whether to measure the cost base at the start of an ac- counting period of premises, plant, machinery, equipment, and trading stock of the CFC at— (a) historical cost minus any accumulated amounts of de- preciation loss, or another value used by the CFC as the starting value for the period for income tax calculations in the country in which the CFC is resident, but only if the value is below market value; or the starting value that would be used under this Act if the CFC had always been a New Zealand resident.
(b) Opening cost base: tangible assets: later periods If the taxpayer had attributed CFC income or loss from the CFC for the previous period, the cost base at the start of an accounting period of premises, plant, machinery, equipment, and trading stock of the CFC is the closing value at the end of the previous period used to calculate the income or loss.
Opening cost base: ﬁnancial arrangements: ﬁrst period If the taxpayer had no attributed CFC income or loss from the CFC for the previous accounting period, the taxpayer must choose to calculate the consideration under the ﬁnancial ar- rangements rules for a ﬁnancial arrangement at the start of an accounting period, at— (a) (b) the market value of the ﬁnancial arrangement; or the absolute value calculated using the formula— consideration paid to the CFC + expenditure - consideration paid by the CFC - income.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,— (a) consideration paid to the CFC is the consideration paid to the CFC for all periods before the accounting period: expenditure is expenditure that would have been in- curred under the ﬁnancial arrangements rules for all periods before the accounting period if the CFC had been resident in New Zealand: consideration paid by the CFC is the consideration paid by the CFC for all periods before the accounting period: (b) (c) 995 Part E s EX 21 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (d) income is income that would have been derived under the ﬁnancial arrangements rules for all periods before the accounting period if the CFC had been resident in New Zealand.

(b) (c) (d) (15) Transfer pricing rules Sections GC 6 to GC 14 (which relate to transfer pricing ar- rangements between associated persons) apply only to a trans- action that has a purpose or effect of defeating any of the jur- isdictional ring-fencing rules for CFC losses and tax credits in— (a) (b) section DN 4 (Ring-fencing cap on deduction): section IQ 2 (Ring-fencing cap on attributed CFC net losses): section IQ 4 (Group companies using attributed CFC net losses): sections LK 1 to LK 7 (which relate to foreign tax credits and CFCs).

Dividends: exempt income [Repealed] [Repealed] (17) Beneﬁts from money advanced (18) When section CC 7 (Consideration other than in money) is applied, the borrower is treated as if it carries on a business in New Zealand.
997 Part E s EX 21 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (19) No tainting by association Sections CB 9 to CB 13 (which relate to the disposal of land) and CV 1 (Group companies) do not apply to treat an amount derived by the CFC as income merely because of the activities of a person associated with the CFC if the associate is a non- resident.
Crown acquisition of land (20) The reference in section EI 8(1) (Disposal of land to the Crown) to the Crown includes any relevant government outside New Zealand.
Amount of depreciation loss recovered (21) When sections EE 48 to EE 52 (which relate to disposals and similar events) are applied, the CFC is treated as having had a deduction for an amount of depreciation loss, and to have an adjusted tax value accordingly, if an amount of depreciation loss has been deducted when calculating the CFC’s branch equivalent income or loss for any period and the attributed CFC income or loss of any person.
GST and value-added taxes (22) When sections CX 1 (Goods and Services Tax), DB 2 (Goods and Services Tax), EE 45 (Consideration for purposes of section EE 44), EE 54 (Cost: GST), and EZ 17 (Additional amount of depreciation loss: between 16 December 1991 and 1 April 1994) are applied, references to output tax, input tax, or goods and services tax (GST) payable include a reference to the equivalent item arising under the value-added tax or other tax rules of a country or territory outside New Zealand if the rules have a similar intent and application to the New Zealand GST rules.
Government grants to businesses (23) When section DF 1 (Government grants to businesses) is ap- plied, a reference to the New Zealand government includes a government outside New Zealand but, to the extent to which section DF 1 still does not apply to a grant or subsidy to the CFC from a government, the grant or subsidy is income of the CFC.
998 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 21 (24) Subvention payments If an amount is paid as consideration for the transfer of tax losses,— (a) (b) it is income if derived by the CFC; and it is a deduction if— (i) paid by the CFC to a person who is resident in the same country as the CFC and not a non-attribut- ing active CFC; and deductible under the taxation law of that country.
(ii) Life insurers (25) Subsection (26) applies if— (a) (b) the CFC itself carries on the business of providing life insurance; or shares in the CFC are held, directly or indirectly, by a foreign company (the parent company, in subsection (26)) that carries on the business of providing life in- surance and those shares have to be taken into account under sections EX 8 to EX 13 to calculate the taxpayer’s income interest in the CFC.
(26) Policyholders If the test in subsection (25) is met, the life insurance rules do not apply and the net attributable CFC income or loss of the CFC is the amount actuarially determined to be the part of the CFC’s net attributable CFC income or loss to which shareholders, and not policyholders in either the CFC or the parent company, are entitled.
When subsection (26) does not apply (27) Despite subsection (25), subsection (26) does not apply if the Commissioner— (a) considers that the amount calculated is not a reasonable reﬂection of the part attributable to shareholders; or has requested and not received sufﬁcient information to enable the actuarial calculation to be reviewed.
(b) (28) Mineral mining activities Sections BC 7, CU 1 to CU 29, CX 44 to CX 46, CZ 2, CZ 4, DU 1 to DU 12, DZ 12, IS 1 to IS 4 (which relate to mineral mining) apply, with any necessary modiﬁcations, if the CFC carries on activities outside New Zealand that are substantially 999 Part E s EX 21 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (29) the same as the mineral mining activities to which those sec- tions apply.
Petroleum mining activities Sections CT 1 to CT 3, CT 5, CX 42, CX 43, CZ 8, DT 1 to DT 15, DT 17 to DT 19, and IS 5 (which relate to petroleum mining) apply, with any necessary modiﬁcations, if the CFC carries on petroleum mining activities outside New Zealand that are substantially the same as the petroleum mining activ- ities to which those sections apply.
Finance leases and speciﬁed leases (30) A lease entered into by the CFC before the start of the ﬁrst ac- counting period in which the CFC is a CFC is neither a ﬁnance lease (subject to the ﬁnancial arrangements rules and sections FA 6 to FA 11 , which relate to ﬁnance leases), nor a speciﬁed lease (subject to sections FZ 2 to FZ 4, which relate to leases).

When subsection (30) does not apply Subsection (30) does not apply if another party to the lease is either a CFC or a New Zealand resident.
Taxable distributions from non-complying trust If the CFC gets a taxable distribution from a non-complying trust— (a) section HC 22 (Use of tax losses to reduce taxable dis- tributions from non-complying trusts) does not apply; and the taxable distribution is not taken into account in cal- culating the CFC’s net attributable CFC income or loss; and section EX 19 applies.
(b) (c) CFCs with interest in FIFs If the CFC has rights in a FIF,— (a) the rights are not prevented from being an attributing interest of the CFC in a FIF merely because the notional New Zealand residence of the CFC under subsection (2) causes section EX 34 to apply; and the CFC’s FIF income or loss is not taken into account in calculating the net attributable CFC income; and section EX 58 applies.
(b) (c) (31) (32) (33) 1000 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 21 (34) (35) Transitional treatment of cross-border reinsurance Section CZ 12 (General insurance with risk period straddling 1 July 1993) applies as if the reference to New Zealand were a reference to the CFC’s country of residence.

(4) Formula The formula for calculating branch equivalent income or loss under subsection (3)(b) is— Deﬁned in this Act: accounting period, attributed CFC income, branch equiva- lent income, CFC, company, foreign company, loss, New Zealand Compare: 2004 No 35 s EX 25 1021 Part E s EX 25 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Change of CFC’s balance date EX 25 Change of CFC’s balance date Application of this section This section applies when a person— (a) (b) has an income interest in a CFC; and has calculated attributed CFC income or loss or at- tributed repatriation from the CFC on the basis of 1 accounting year (the old accounting year); and wants to change to use a different accounting year (the new accounting year) for the calculations.
(c) Change requiring Commissioner’s consent The person may make the change only if the Commissioner agrees.
Commissioner’s reasons The Commissioner may consider any relevant factors when making the decision, including— (a) whether the change is sought because ownership of the CFC has changed: whether the change is sought because of taxation or other legal requirements in a country where the CFC is resident or does business: whether the change is sought to achieve consistent bal- ance dates in a group of companies: whether the change would postpone liability to income tax on attributed CFC income or on attributed repatri- ation.
(b) (c) (d) No transitional deferral If the new accounting year ends in a later income year than the year the old accounting year ends in, and that fact would result in an amount of attributed CFC income or attributed repatriation being derived in the later income year, the amount is not deferred to the later income year and instead is treated as derived in the previous income year.

However, this subsection applies only once, in the year of the transition.

Ownership measurement concession EX 26 Use of quarterly measurement (1) (2) (3) (4) Interests held at end of quarter In order to simplify the process of calculating a person’s con- trol interest or income interest in a foreign company, the per- son is treated as holding at all times during a quarter the same interest, including a zero interest, as the interest they hold at the end of the quarter.
Anti-avoidance The concession in subsection (1) is overridden by the anti- avoidance rules in sections GB 9 to GB 16 (which relate to arrangements involving CFCs).

(5) (6) Deemed rate of return method: exception when section EX 47 applies Despite subsection (4), a person may use the deemed rate of return method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attribut- ing interest in a FIF if— (a) the interest is a direct income interest in a foreign com- pany of less than 10%; and the person is required by section EX 47 to use the deemed rate of return method for the interest.
(b) Comparative value method: shares in foreign companies A person may use the comparative value method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF that is a share in a foreign company for an income year only if— (a) (b) the person is a natural person: the person is the trustee of a trust that— (i) (ii) (iii) has no gifting settlor who is not a natural person or deceased person; and at all times in the income year, is a complying trust for a distribution made at the time; and is, at all times in the income year, mainly for the beneﬁt of a natural person for whom the gift- ing settlors of the trust have natural love and af- fection (or had natural love and affection when alive) or is mainly for the beneﬁt of an organisa- 1045 Part E s EX 46 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 tion or trust with income that is exempt income under section CW 41 or CW 42 (which relate to the income of charities); and is not a superannuation scheme: (iv) the person’s direct income interest in the FIF, increased for the purposes of this paragraph by each direct income interest of a person associated with them, is 10% or more at any time in the income year: the share is a non-ordinary share described in subsection (10).
(c) (d) Fair dividend rate method: shares in foreign companies A person may use the fair dividend rate method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF that is a share in a foreign company for an income year only if— (a) the person’s direct income interest in the FIF, increased for the purposes of this paragraph by each direct income interest of a person associated with them, is less than 10%— (i) at any time in the year, if the FIF is a grey list company; or at all times in the year, if the FIF is not a grey list company: (ii) (b) the FIF is a foreign PIE equivalent and the person is— a portfolio investment entity or an entity that (i) qualiﬁes for PIE status: a life insurance company.
(ii) Fair dividend rate method: exemption for shares in foreign companies Despite subsection (7), a person must not use the fair dividend rate method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF that is a share in a foreign company for an income year if— (a) the share is a non-ordinary share described in subsection (10): the person chooses to use the comparative value method for another attributing interest that is a share in a foreign company and for which the person would be allowed, in the absence of this paragraph, to use the fair dividend rate method.
(b) (7) (8) 1046 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 46 (9) Cost method for shares in foreign companies A person may use the cost method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF that is a share in a foreign company only if— (a) the person’s direct income interest in the FIF, increased for the purposes of this paragraph by each direct income interest of a person associated with them, is less than 10%— (i) at any time in the income year, if the FIF is a grey list company; or at all times in the income year, if the FIF is not a grey list company; and (ii) (b) use of the fair dividend rate method is allowed but is not practical because the person cannot determine the market value of the attributing interest at the start of the income year except by an independent valuation.
Certain non-ordinary shares (10) For the purposes of subsections (6)(d) and (8)(a), a non-ordin- ary share in a foreign company is— (a) (b) (c) a ﬁxed-rate foreign equity: a non-participating redeemable share: an interest in a non-resident holding directly or indi- rectly assets of which 80% or more by value at a time in the income year— (i) consist of ﬁxed-rate foreign equities, or ﬁnancial arrangements providing funds to a person; and are denominated in New Zealand dollars or, under NZIAS 39, are hedged items having a value in New Zealand dollars governed by a hedging instrument that is highly effective: (ii) (cb) an interest in a non-resident if–– (i) the non-resident holds directly or indirectly as- sets of which 80% or more by value at a time in the income year consist of ﬁxed-rate foreign equities or ﬁnancial arrangements providing funds to a person ignoring ﬁnancial arrangements between the non-resident and other members of a group of companies that it is a member of; and 1047 Part E s EX 46 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (ii) (iii) the non-resident is not listed on a recognised ex- change or is listed on a recognised exchange but is a foreign PIE equivalent, ignoring section HL 10(4) (Further eligibility requirements relating to investments) for the purposes of this subpara- graph; and the interest is, under NZIAS 39, a hedged item having a value in New Zealand dollars governed by a hedging instrument that is highly effective: (d) (e) a share that involves an obligation— (i) of another
 person to provide to the investor, di- rectly or indirectly through an arrangement, an amount that is more than the issue price of the share; and that is non-contingent or subject to a contingency that is sufﬁciently remote to be immaterial: a share of a kind that the Commissioner determines under section 91AAO of the Tax Administration Act 1994 to be an interest for which the fair dividend rate method is not available.
(ii) (11) Commissioner’s determination overriding subsection (10)(a) to (d) Subsection (10)(a) to (d) does not apply to a share if the Com- missioner determines under section 91AAO of the Tax Admin- istration Act 1994 that the share is an interest for which the fair dividend rate is available.
Meaning of gifting settlor (12) A gifting settlor, for a trust (the relevant trust), means a per- son who— (a) makes a transfer of value, by disposing of property, to the trustee of— (i) (ii) the relevant trust: a trust with a trustee who settles property on the relevant trust, directly or through the trustees of other trusts; and is not the trustee of a trust.

Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula are deﬁned in subsections (3) to (5).

Accounting proﬁts or losses Accounting proﬁts or losses is the net after-tax accounting proﬁts or losses of the FIF for the accounting period.

Foreign tax Foreign tax is the total for the accounting period of income tax on the income of the FIF— (a) for which the person is liable under the laws of a country or territory outside New Zealand; and paid by the person in the accounting period.
(b) Income interest Income interest is the person’s income interest in the FIF for the accounting period.

The income interest is calculated under all the following CFC rules, applying as if the FIF were a CFC: (a) (b) (c) sections EX 8 to EX 11 and EX 13: sections EX 16 and EX 17: section EX 26, unless the person chooses to apply sub- section (6).
Election to measure on 31 March only For an income interest that the person has held for more than 12 months, the person may follow a simpliﬁed calculation process by choosing to be treated as holding, at all times in the income year, the same interest, including zero interest, that they held at the end of the income year.

The person makes the election by completing their return of income accordingly for the relevant income year.
Election irrevocable An election under subsection (6) is— (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) 1052 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 49 (a) (b) irrevocable and applies to the person and all their at- tributing interests in the FIF in later years; and overridden by the anti-avoidance rules in sections GB 9 to GB 16 (which relate to CFCs).
(8) (9) (10) (11) Conversion to New Zealand dollars The person must choose, for the accounting period and each later accounting period and for all interests for which the per- son uses the accounting proﬁts method,— (a) for all the calculations to be done in the currency of the FIF’s ﬁnancial accounts, with the result then converted into New Zealand dollars at the average of the close of trading spot exchange rates for the 15th day of each complete month that falls in the accounting period; or for all the calculations of the net after-tax accounting proﬁts or losses of the FIF to be done in New Zealand dollars.
(b) Reduction in FIF loss to economic loss In the cases described in subsections (10) and (11), the amount of any FIF loss calculated under subsection (1) is reduced to be equal to the person’s corresponding economic loss, if any.

Application of subsection (9): no economic loss Subsection (9) applies if the person suffers no, or substantially no, economic loss corresponding to the FIF loss, whether be- cause of a call option, a put option, or any other reason.
Application of subsection (9): FIF loss excessive Subsection (9) also applies if the amount of FIF loss is more than any corresponding economic loss suffered by the person, whether because of the application of the rules for calculating the person’s income interest or any other reason.
Deﬁned in this Act: accounting period, accounting proﬁts method, amount, at- tributing interest, CFC, close of trading spot exchange rate, FIF, FIF income, FIF loss, income interest, income year, loss, New Zealand, non-resident, pay, quarter, return of income, tax, tax year Compare: 2004 No 35 s EX 42 Section EX 49(6): substituted (with effect on 1 April 2008), on 7 December 2009, by section 31(1) of the Taxation (Consequential Rate Alignment and Re- medial Matters) Act 2009 (2009 No 63).
1053 Part E s EX 50 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 EX 50 Branch equivalent method (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Formula If a person is using the branch equivalent method to calculate FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF, the total FIF income or loss from all their attributing interests in the FIF for the relevant accounting period is calculated using the formula— branch equivalent income or loss × income interest.
Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula in subsection (1) are deﬁned in sub- sections (3) and (4).

Branch equivalent income or loss Branch equivalent income or loss is the branch equivalent income or loss of the FIF for the accounting period.
This is calculated by applying section EX 21 of the CFC rules as that provision reads ignoring section 161(1) to (6), (9) to (14), (16), and (17) of the Taxation (International Taxation, Life Insur- ance, and Remedial Matters) Act 2009— (a) as if the FIF were a CFC and the person were calculating their attributed CFC income or loss; and applying subsections (5) and (6).

(b) Income interest Income interest is the person’s income interest in the FIF for the accounting period.
The income interest is calculated under all the following CFC rules, applying as if the FIF were a CFC: (a) (b) (c) sections EX 8 to EX 11 and EX 13: sections EX 16 and EX 17: section EX 26.
Taxable distributions If the FIF derives a taxable distribution from a non-complying trust in the accounting period,— (a) the taxable distribution is excluded when calculating the FIF’s branch equivalent income or loss, due to the com- bined effect of subsection (1) and section EX 21(32); and the person has additional attributed CFC income calcu- lated by multiplying the taxable distribution by the per- son’s income interest in the FIF; and (b) 1054 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (c) Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 50 the person is liable for income tax on the additional at- tributed CFC income at the rate in schedule 1 (Basic tax rates: income tax, ESCT, RSCT, RWT, and attributed fringe beneﬁts) that applies to amounts under section HC 22 (Use of tax losses to reduce taxable distributions from non-complying trusts).
(6) (7) (8) (9) Calculation of additional FIF income or loss If the FIF itself has an income interest, calculated under sub- section (4), in a foreign company for the accounting period, the person has additional FIF income or loss calculated using the formula— interest × FIF’s FIF income or loss.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula in subsection (6),— (a) (b) interest is the person’s income interest in the FIF for the period: FIF’s FIF income or loss is the FIF’s FIF income or loss calculated under the rules in section EX 58(4) and (5), as if— (i) (ii) the FIF were the CFC referred to; and the FIF’s interest in the foreign company were an attributing interest, despite any application of section EX 34.
Application of CFC rules tax credit rules The rules in sections LK 1 to LK 7 (which relate to tax credits for attributed CFC income) apply to allow the person to claim foreign tax credits but on the basis of the assumptions made in subsection (9).

The rules in those sections allow foreign tax credits relating to attributed CFC income but apply a jurisdic- tional ring-fencing approach to the use of tax credits.
Assumptions in reading tax credit rules Sections LK 1 to LK 7 are applied as if— (a) (b) the FIF were a CFC; and the FIF income of the person from the FIF were at- tributed CFC income; and the person’s income interest, calculated under subsec- tion (4) were their relevant income interest for the pur- poses of those sections; and (c) 1055 Part E s EX 51 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (10) (11) (12) (d) any relevant person’s FIF income calculated under the branch equivalent method from a FIF that is resident in the relevant country were attributed CFC income.
Reduction in FIF loss to economic loss In the cases described in subsections (11) and (12), the amount of any FIF loss calculated under subsections (1) and (6) is re- duced to be equal to the person’s corresponding economic loss, if any.

Application of subsection (10): no economic loss Subsection (10) applies if the person suffers no, or substan- tially no, economic loss corresponding to the FIF loss, whether because of a call option, a put option, or any other reason.
Application of subsection (10): FIF loss excessive Subsection (10) also applies if the amount of FIF loss is more than any corresponding economic loss suffered by the person, whether because of the application of the rules for calculating the person’s income interest or any other reason.

EX 51 Comparative value method (1) Formula If a person is using the comparative value method to calcu- late FIF income or loss from an attributing interest in a FIF, the FIF income or loss from that interest for the relevant income year is calculated using the formula— (closing value + gains) - (opening value + costs).
Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula are deﬁned in subsections (3) to (6).

(2) 1056 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 51 (3) (4) Closing value Closing value is the market value of the person’s interest in the FIF at the end of the income year.

The value is zero if the person has disposed of the interest or is then applying another calculation method to it.
Gains Gains is the total of all amounts that the person derives during the income year from holding or disposing of the interest.

The amounts include any foreign withholding tax or other amount that the person is allowed as a credit under section LE 1 (Tax credits for imputation credits) or LJ 2 (Tax credits for foreign income tax).
Opening value (5) Opening value is the market value of the person’s interest in the FIF at the end of the previous income year, calculated using the exchange rate applying under section EX 57 for that previous year.

The value is zero if the person did not hold the interest then or was then applying another calculation method to it.
(6) (7) (8) Costs Costs is the total for the income year of— (a) (b) all expenditure, if any, that the person incurs in acquir- ing or increasing the interest: income tax on the income of the FIF— (i) for which the person is liable under the laws of a country or territory outside New Zealand; and paid by the person in the income year.
(ii) Losses from some attributing interests not subject to rule Subsection (8) applies to a person who calculates under sub- section (1) an amount of FIF loss for an attributing interest in a FIF (the affected interest) that is neither of the following: (a) a direct income interest in a foreign company equal to or more than 10% at all times in the relevant income year: a non-ordinary share described in section EX 46(10).
(b) No total FIF loss from other attributing interests If, in the absence of this subsection, the person would have under subsection (1) a total FIF loss for the income year from all the person’s affected interests, the FIF loss for the income 1057 Part E s EX 52 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 year for the person from each affected interest is reduced to the extent necessary for the total FIF loss from the affected interests to be zero.

EX 52 Fair dividend rate method: usual method When this section applies This section applies when a person— (a) (b) calculates FIF income from an attributing interest in a FIF for an income year under the fair dividend rate method; and is neither— (i) a unit-valuing fund that is subject to section EX 53; nor another person that determines the market value of the attributing interest for each period of a day in the income year and that chooses to apply the method in section EX 53.
(ii) FIF income The person’s total FIF income for the income year from the attributing interests in FIFs (the FDR interests) for which the (1) (2) 1058 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 52 person uses the fair dividend rate method is calculated using the formula in subsection (3).

FIF income formula The formula is— (0.05 × opening value) + quick sale adjustment.
Deﬁnition of items in FIF income formula The items in the FIF income formula in subsection (3) are de- ﬁned in subsections (5) to (7).

(3) (4) Opening value (5) Opening value is the total of the market values of the FDR interests that— (a) (b) the person holds at the start of the income year; and are not, at the beginning of the income year, included in a direct income interest of 10% or more in a grey list company.
Exclusion for certain managed funds (5B) Subsection (5)(b) does not apply if— (a) (b) the person is a portfolio investment entity, an entity eli- gible to be a portfolio investment entity, or a life insur- ance company; and the FIF is a foreign PIE equivalent.
(6) (7) When quick sale adjustment required The quick sale adjustment is required, and is not zero, only if the person, in the income year,— (a) acquires or increases an FDR interest to which this sec- tion applies; and later disposes of or reduces the FDR interest.
(b) Quick sale adjustment Quick sale adjustment is the lesser of— (a) the total of the amounts (the peak holding method amount) calculated for each FDR interest using the for- mula in subsection (8): the total of the amounts (the quick sale gain amount) calculated for each FDR interest using the formula in subsection (12), treating a negative total as being zero.
(b) Peak holding method amount formula The formula is— (8) 1059 Part E s EX 52 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (9) (10) 0.05 × peak holding differential × average cost.

Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula in subsection (8) are deﬁned in sub- sections (10) and (11).
Peak holding differential Peak holding differential is,— (a) if no share reorganisation occurs in the income year, the lesser of— (i) the difference between the greatest shareholding in the year and the shareholding at the start of the year: the difference between the greatest shareholding in the year and the shareholding at the end of the year; or (ii) (b) if a share reorganisation occurs in the income year, the amount calculated under section EX 54 for the year.
Average cost (11) Average cost is— (a) (b) if no share reorganisation occurs in the income year, the total amount of expenditure that the person incurs in acquiring or increasing during the income year the attributing interest in the FIF divided by the total for the year of the shareholding increase in the attributing interest in the FIF for each acquisition or increase; or if a share reorganisation occurs in the income year, the amount calculated under section EX 54 for the year.
Quick sale gain amount formula (12) The formula, for each acquisition or increase in the attributing interest that is disposed of or reduced in the income year, is— gain - (interest × average cost).
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula in subsection (12),— (a) gain is the total amount that the person derives from holding or disposing of the acquisition or increase: interest is the amount of the shareholding acquisition or increase: average cost is the total amount of expenditure that the person incurs in acquiring or increasing the attributing (b) (c) (13) 1060 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 52 interest in the FIF divided by the total for the income year of the shareholding increase in the interest for each acquisition or increase.
LIFO for identifying attributing interests disposed of (14) For the purposes of subsection (12), attributing interests in a FIF are treated as being disposed of in the reverse order of their acquisition (last in-ﬁrst out).

Treatment of transaction under section EX 63 or EX 67 (14B) For the purposes of subsection (7), if the person is treated as disposing of or acquiring an attributing interest in an income year under section EX 63(5) or EX 67, the disposal or acqui- sition is ignored.
Treatment of attributing interests subject to returning share transfer (14C) If an attributing interest in a FIF is an original share subject to a returning share transfer, for the purposes of a person us- ing the fair dividend rate method to calculate FIF income, the attributing interest is treated as held by the share supplier.

(15) Meaning of shareholding In this section, shareholding means the number of shares or units in an attributing interest.

Formula The formula is— (3) (4) Deﬁnition of items in formula The items in the formula in subsection (3) are deﬁned in sub- sections (5) to (15).
Opening value (5) Opening value is the total of the market values of the FDR interests that— (a) the interest holder holds at the start of the unit valuation period; and 1064 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 53 (b) are not, at the beginning of the income year, included in a direct income interest of 10% or more in a grey list company.
Exclusion for certain managed funds (5B) Subsection (5)(b) does not apply if— (6) (7) (8) (9) (a) (b) the interest holder is a portfolio investment entity, an entity eligible to be a portfolio investment entity, or a life insurance company; and the FIF is a foreign PIE equivalent.

Period Period is the number of days in the unit valuation period.

Year Year is the number of days in the income year.
When quick sale adjustment required The quick sale adjustment is required, and is not zero, only if the interest holder has a unit valuation period of more than 1 day and, in the unit valuation period,— (a) acquires or increases an FDR interest to which this sec- tion applies; and later disposes of or reduces the FDR interest.
(b) Quick sale adjustment Quick sale adjustment is the lesser of— (a) the total of the amounts (the peak holding method amount) calculated for each FDR interest using the for- mula in subsection (10): the total of the amounts (the quick sale gain amount) calculated for each FDR interest using the formula in subsection (14), treating a negative total as being zero.

(b) Peak holding method amount formula (10) The formula is— 0.05 × peak holding differential × average cost.
Deﬁnition of items in formula (11) The items in the formula in subsection (10) are deﬁned in sub- sections (12) and (13).
Peak holding differential Peak holding differential is,— (12) 1065 Part E s EX 53 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (a) if no share reorganisation occurs in the unit valuation period, the lesser of— (i) the difference between the greatest shareholding in the period and the shareholding at the start of the period: the difference between the greatest shareholding in the period and the shareholding at the end of the period; or (ii) (b) if a share reorganisation occurs in the period, the amount calculated under section EX 54 for the period.
Average cost (13) Average cost is— (a) (b) if no share reorganisation occurs in the unit valuation period, the total amount of expenditure that the inter- est holder incurs in acquiring or increasing during the period the attributing interest in the FIF divided by the total for the period of the shareholding increase in the attributing interest in the FIF for each acquisition or in- crease; or if a share reorganisation occurs in the period, the amount calculated under section EX 54 for the period.
Quick sale gain amount formula (14) The formula, for each acquisition or increase in the attributing interest that is disposed of or reduced in the unit valuation period, is— gain - (interest × average cost).
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula in subsection (14),— (a) (b) (c) gain is the total amount that the interest holder derives from holding or disposing of the acquisition or increase: interest is the amount of the shareholding acquisition or increase: average cost is the total amount of expenditure that the interest holder incurs in acquiring or increasing the at- tributing interest in the FIF divided by the total for the period of the shareholding increase in the interest for each acquisition or increase.
(15) 1066 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 53 LIFO for identifying attributing interests disposed of (16) For the purposes of subsection (14), attributing interests in a FIF are treated as being disposed of in the reverse order of their acquisition (last in-ﬁrst out).
Deemed transaction under section EX 67 ignored (16B) For the purposes of subsection (9), if the person is treated as disposing of or acquiring an attributing interest in an income year under section EX 67, the disposal or acquisition is ig- nored.
Treatment of attributing interests subject to returning share transfer (16C) If an attributing interest in a FIF is an original share subject to a returning share transfer, for the purposes of a person us- ing the fair dividend rate method to calculate FIF income, the attributing interest is treated as held by the share supplier.

1069 Part E s EX 54 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 EX 54 Fair dividend rate method and cost method: when periods affected by share reorganisations Relevant items and formulas This section provides for the calculation, for an income year or unit valuation period (the affected period) in which a share reorganisation occurs, of the following: (a) the item peak holding differential for the purposes of the formulas in sections EX 52(8), EX 53(10), and EX 56(15): the item average cost for the purposes of the formulas in sections EX 52(8), EX 53(10) and EX 56(5) and (15): the item increase for the purposes of the formula in section EX 56(5).
(b) (c) Identifying reorganisation periods For the purposes of calculating the items for an affected period under this section,— (a) the affected period is treated as consisting of periods (the reorganisation periods) that do not overlap: a reorganisation period— (i) (b) begins with the start of the affected period and immediately before each share reorganisation in the affected period; and ends immediately before each share reorganisa- tion in the affected period and at the end of the affected period.
(ii) Identifying equivalent shareholdings For the purposes of calculating the items for an affected period under this section,— (a) the amount of the attributing interest in the FIF held by the person at any time (the comparison time) in a re- organisation period, is treated as being the amount (the equivalent shareholding) of the attributing interest in the FIF that the person would hold at the end of the af- fected period if, after the comparison time, the person did not increase or reduce the attributing interest in the FIF except under share reorganisations occurring in the affected period: (1) (2) (3) 1070 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (b) Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 54 the amount of an acquisition or increase (the acquired shareholding) by the person of the attributing interest in the FIF other than under a share reorganisation is treated as being the amount (the equivalent acquired shareholding) equal to the difference between— (i) the equivalent shareholding for the time of the acquisition or increase; and the amount that would be the equivalent share- holding for the time of the acquisition or increase if the person were not to have the acquired share- holding.
(ii) (4) (5) (6) Peak holding differential The item peak holding differential, for a person and an af- fected period, is the lesser of the following: (a) the difference between the equivalent shareholding that is the greatest for the affected period and the equivalent shareholding at the start of the affected period: the difference between the equivalent shareholding that is the greatest for the affected period and the equivalent shareholding at the end of the affected period.
(b) Average cost The item average cost, for a person and an affected period, is the total amount of expenditure that the person incurs during the affected period in acquiring or increasing the attributing interest in the FIF divided by the total for the affected period of the equivalent acquired shareholding for each acquisition or increase.
Increase The item increase, for a person and an affected period, is the difference between the equivalent shareholding at the start of the affected period and the equivalent shareholding at the start of the period before the affected period.

(b) When interest changes A person’s attributing interest in a FIF changes during an in- come year if the person— (a) (b) acquires or increases the interest; or disposes of or reduces the interest, but merely receiving an annuity payment from the interest is not a disposal or reduction.

Standard formula The standard formula is— opening book value × deemed rate.
Deﬁnition of items in standard formula In the standard formula,— (a) opening book value is the book value of the interest at the end of the previous income year, calculated under subsection (7): deemed rate is the rate set by the Governor-General by Order in Council for this section for the relevant income year.
(b) Part-year formula The part-year formula is— (5) Deﬁnition of items in part-year formula In the part-year formula,— (6) 1072 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 55 (a) (b) (c) (d) (ii) opening book value is the book value, if any, of the interest at the end of the period before the part of the income year, calculated under subsection (7): costs is the total for the part of the income year of— (i) all expenditure, if any, that the person incurs in acquiring or increasing the interest: income tax on the income of the FIF for which the person is liable under the laws of a country or territory outside New Zealand and which is paid by the person in the part of the income year: deemed rate is the rate set by the Governor-General by Order in Council for this section for the relevant income year: days is the number of days in the part of the income year; and for this purpose, an acquisition or increase is treated as occurring at the start of a day, and a dispos- ition or reduction is treated as occurring at the end of a day.
Closing book value formula The book value, at the end of an income year or, in a case in which subsection (5) applies, a part of an income year, of an attributing interest of a person in a FIF under the deemed rate of return method is, unless subsection (9) applies, calculated using the formula (the closing book value formula)— (opening book value + costs + deemed income + top-up amounts) - gains.
(b) Deﬁnition of items in closing book value formula In the closing book value formula,— (a) opening book value is the book value, if any, of the interest at the end of the previous income year or the part of the income year, calculated under subsection (7): costs is the total for the income year or part of the income year of— (i) all expenditure, if any, that the person incurs in acquiring or increasing the interest: income tax on the income of the FIF for which the person is liable under the laws of a country or territory outside New Zealand and which is paid (ii) 1073 (7) (8) Part E s EX 55 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (c) (d) (e) by the person in the income year or part of the income year: deemed income is the FIF income from the interest for the year or the part of the income year calculated under subsection (3) or (5): top-up amounts is amounts, gains from holding or disposing of the interest, that are top-up FIF income in the year under section EX 60 or EX 61: gains is the total of all amounts that the person derives during the year or the part of the income year from hold- ing or disposing of the interest; the amounts including any foreign withholding tax or other tax that the person is allowed as a credit under section LJ 2 (Tax credits for foreign income tax).
Closing book value zero if changing method The closing book value is always zero if the person is using a calculation method for the interest different from the deemed rate of return method at the end of the income year or, in a case to which subsection (5) applies, the part of the income year.
Top-up income if deemed rate inadequate If the closing book value of a person’s attributing interest in a FIF at the end of an income year or a part of an income year is below zero, the person has additional FIF income equal to the deﬁcit for the relevant income year.
When subsection (10) does not apply Subsection (10) does not apply if— (a) (b) the person is a natural person; and at all times during the income year the total value of the person’s attributing interests in FIFs is $250,000 or less, the value of each interest being— (i) its book value, calculated under subsection (7), at the end of the previous income year, if the person held the interest then and used the deemed rate of return method to calculate FIF income for all attributing interests in the previous income year: its market value, in any other case; and (ii) the deﬁcit in closing book value arises only because the person disposed of some or all of the interest; and (9) (10) (11) (c) 1074 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 56 (d) the gain that the person derived from disposing of the interest or part-interest is not income, or is income only to the extent to which it gives rise to FIF income.
Top-up income if gains more than deemed income (12) A person calculating FIF income under the deemed rate of re- turn method can also have additional FIF income under section EX 60.
(13) (14) FIF income reduced on disposal if deemed rate excessive If a person has disposed of the whole of an attributing interest in a FIF and the closing book value for the relevant income year or the part of the income year is more than zero, the excess is subtracted when the person’s FIF income under the deemed rate of return method for the income year is calculated.
When subsection (13) does not apply Subsection (13) does not apply if— (a) (b) the person is a natural person; and at all times during the income year the total value of at- tributing interests in FIFs held by the person is $250,000 or less, the value of each interest being— (i) its book value, calculated under subsection (7), at the end of the previous income year, if the person held the interest then and used the deemed rate of return method to calculate FIF income for all attributing interests in the previous income year: its market value, in any other case; and (c) (ii) the gain that the person derived from disposing of the interest or part-interest is not income, or is income only to the extent to which it gives rise to FIF income.

EX 60 Top-up FIF income: deemed rate of return method (1) (2) (3) (4) When this section applies This section applies at any time when a person— (a) (b) has an attributing interest in a FIF for a period; and is calculating the FIF income or loss from the interest using the deemed rate of return method; and derives in the period, from holding or disposing of the interest, an amount that would have been income if sec- tion EX 59(2) had not applied.
(c) Formula The gain is FIF income to the extent to which the amount cal- culated using the following formula is positive: total income gains - total FIF income.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,— (a) total income gains is the total of amounts, including the amount in question, derived by the person until that time from holding or disposing of the interest that would have been income if EX 59(2) had not applied: total FIF income is the total of FIF income, reduced by the total of any FIF losses, derived by the person from the interest until, and including, the relevant period.
(b) Consequence of partial sales If the person disposes of part of the interest, this section ap- plies to the part disposed of and the part retained as if they were separate interests.

If this means that an apportionment is necessary, it must be done on the basis of the respective mar- ket values at the time the part interest is disposed of.
Deﬁned in this Act: amount, attributing interest, deemed rate of return method, FIF, FIF income, FIF loss, income, loss, market value Compare: 2004 No 35 s EX 48 EX 61 Top-up FIF income: 1 April 1993 uplift interests When this section applies This section applies at any time if a person— (1) 1086 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 61 (2) (3) (4) (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) has an attributing interest in a FIF for a period; and held the interest on 2 July 1992; and calculated their FIF income from the interest in the period starting on 1 April 1993 under the comparative value method or the deemed rate of return method; and was treated as having reacquired the interest on 1 April 1993 for an uplifted cost under section CG 23(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act 1994 or EZ 7 of the Income Tax Act 2004; and derives in the period, from holding or disposing of the interest, an amount that would have been income if sec- tion EX 59(2) had not applied.
Formula The gain is FIF income to the extent to which the amount cal- culated using the following formula is positive: total income gains - total FIF income.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,— (a) total income gains is the total of amounts, including the amount in question, that the person derived until that time from holding or disposing of the interest that would have been income if EX 59(2) had not applied: total FIF income is the total of FIF income, reduced by the total of any FIF losses, that the person derived from the interest until, and including, the relevant period.
(b) Consequence of partial sales If the person disposes of part of the interest, this section ap- plies to the part disposed of and the part retained as if they were separate interests.

If this means that an apportionment is necessary, it must be done on the basis of the respective mar- ket values at the time the part interest is disposed of.

Change on practical grounds The person may change if it is not practical to continue with the same method because— (a) in the case of the accounting proﬁts method, section EX 46(2) prevents its continued use or it is impossible to obtain enough information to continue to use it: in the case of the branch equivalent method, it is impos- sible to obtain enough information to continue to use it: in the case of the comparative value method, it is im- possible to ﬁnd out the end-of-year market value of the interest: in the case of the deemed rate of return method, if the person was entitled to use that method only by falling under the $250,000 threshold in section EX 46(4)(b), the threshold is exceeded: in the case of the deemed rate of return method, if it was the default method under section EX 48, it ceases to be the default method: in the case of the fair dividend rate method, it is im- possible to ﬁnd out the start-of-year market value of the interest except by an independent valuation: in the case of the cost method, if it was the default method under section EX 48, it ceases to be the default method.
(b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) Choosing to change The person may also change by notice to the Commissioner if— (a) (b) the notice complies with subsection (4); and either— (1) (2) (3) 1088 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 62 (i) (ii) the person is a natural person and the $250,000 threshold in subsection (5) is not exceeded; or the change is to, or from, the branch equivalent method and within subsections (6) and (7).
(4) (5) (6) Notice of election The notice of an election to change under subsection (3) must— (a) (b) give the reasons for the change; and comply with the Commissioner’s notice requirements; and be given before the end of the ﬁrst income year or ac- counting period for which the change is to take effect, unless the Commissioner agrees to a retrospective no- tice; and in the case of a natural person relying on the $250,000 threshold test in subsection (3)(b)(i), be given before the end of the year or period that is before the one from the end of which the change takes effect.
(c) (d) Natural person: $250,000 threshold A natural person may make an election under subsection (3) if the total market value of their attributing interests in FIFs is $250,000 or less at the end of the income year or accounting period before the year or period from the end of which the change takes effect.
Changing to or from branch equivalent method A person may make an election under subsection (3) to change— (a) to the branch equivalent method if— (i) this is the ﬁrst time they have chosen to change to the branch equivalent method for an attributing interest in the FIF; or subsection (7) allows them to make another elec- tion: (ii) (b) from the branch equivalent method if— (i) they are changing back to a calculation method that they used for attributing interests in the fund before they used the branch equivalent method; and 1089 Part E s EX 62 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (ii) this is the ﬁrst time they have chosen to change from the branch equivalent method, unless sub- section (7) allows them to make another election.
Repeated changes to or from branch equivalent method A person may change more than once to, or from, the branch equivalent method if— (a) there has been a change in circumstances, such as a signiﬁcant change in shareholding, that signiﬁcantly changes their ability to obtain enough information to use the branch equivalent method; and altering their income tax liability is not the principal purpose or effect of the change.
(b) Repeated changes between fair dividend rate method and comparative value method A person may change more than once from the fair dividend rate method to the comparative value method and from the comparative value method to the fair dividend rate method if the person is a natural person or the trustee of a trust that— (a) has no gifting settlor who is not a natural person or de- ceased person; and at all times in the income year, is a complying trust for a distribution made at the time; and is— (i) at all times in the income year, mainly for the beneﬁt of a natural person for whom the gifting settlors of the trust have natural love and affec- tion, or had natural love and affection when alive: (ii) mainly for the beneﬁt of an organisation or trust with income that is exempt income under section CW 41 or CW 42 (which relate to the income of charities); and (b) (c) (d) is not a superannuation scheme.
Change to fair dividend rate method in return for 2008–09, 2009–10 tax year A person may change to the fair dividend rate method from the branch equivalent method or the accounting proﬁts method in the person’s return of income for— (7) (8) (9) 1090 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EX 62 (a) (b) the 2008–09 tax year, if the person has not furnished a return for that tax year before the date on which the Taxation (International Taxation, Life Insurance, and Remedial Matters) Act 2009 receives the Royal assent; or the 2009–10 tax year, if the person has furnished a re- turn for the 2008–09 tax year before the date on which that Act receives the Royal assent.

(2) More equitable or reasonable basis For a class of policies, the life insurer may use a basis of ap- portionment that is different from the basis described in sub- section (1), if that basis results in an amount, actuarially deter- mined, that is more equitable and reasonable than an amount determined using the basis described in subsection (1).

EY 5 Part-year tax calculations (1) (2) Part-year tax calculations For their life insurance and for their general insurance con- tracts outstanding claims reserve, a life insurer does part-year tax calculations, described in subsection (2), if they do not have an early life regime application day and 1 July 2010 is not the ﬁrst day of their income year.
First year part-year calculations: description For calculating their income tax liability for the tax year that corresponds to the income year that includes 1 July 2010, where 1 July 2010 is not the ﬁrst day of the income year, the life insurer treats references, in the new life insurance rules and in the rules they replace, to an income year or a tax year as if they are references to 2 separate tax years and correspond- ing income years (the part-years) within that ﬁrst tax year, divided by 1 July 2010 (for example: a rule to calculate an amount of policyholder income for an income year under the replaced rules means the calculation is done for the relevant part-year before 1 July 2010.
A rule to calculate an opening reserve amount under sections EY 23 to EY 27 at the begin- ning of an income year under the new rules means the calcu- 1111 Part E s EY 5 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 (3) lation is done on 1 July 2010, at the beginning of the relevant part-year).

First year part-year calculations: effect The part-year calculations may give rise to income and deduc- tions for the income year, but they do not create any part-year tax return obligations.
The 2 part-year calculations compose 1 income tax liability for 1 income year.

Part-year calculations for transfers (4) Where a life insurer (the transferor) transfers life insurance business to another life insurer (the transferee), the transferor does a part-year calculation, as described in subsection (2), for each class of policy in the transferred business, but only for their part-year ending on the day the transfer occurs.
The transferee also does a part-year calculation for the transferred policies, as described in subsection (2), but only for their part- year starting on the day the transfer occurs.

The transferee’s relevant opening part-year reserve amounts under sections EY 23 to EY 27 equal the transferor’s relevant closing part-year reserve amounts.
(5) (6) Part-year calculations for transfers: effect Transferor’s and transferee’s part-year calculations may give rise to income and deductions for the income year, but they do not create any part-year tax return obligations.
Part-year calculations for transfers: adjustments If life reinsurance, associated with a class of policies trans- ferred, is assigned by the transferor to the transferee, then the transferor’s relevant closing part-year reserve amounts and the transferee’s relevant opening part-year reserve amounts are adjusted, by adding the life reinsurance’s value to the trans- feree’s opening, and subtracting it from the transferor’s clos- ing.
Part-year calculations: end of transitional adjustments (7) Where, for relevant life insurance policies, the life insurer has a relevant period under section EY 30(5) that ends on 30 June 2015, and 1 July 2015 is not the ﬁrst day of their income year, the life insurer does part-year tax calculations for the income year that includes 1 July 2015, as described in subsection (2), for the policies, but the income year is divided by 1 July 2015.

EY 15 Policyholder base income: non-participation policies (1) What is included For an income year, a life insurer’s income is included as their policyholder base income if it relates to life insurance policies that are not proﬁt participation policies, and it–– (a) does not relate to life risk components of premiums and claims: is investment income that–– (b) 1124 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EY 15 (2) (3) (4) (i) (ii) (iii) is included in investment income gains or losses in the ﬁnancial statements of the life insurer; and is not a premium; and is fairly attributable to savings product policies.
Certain income: basis of apportionment Despite subsection (1), if an amount of investment income is included in a life insurer’s policyholder base income under subsection (1), but may also be shareholder base income under section EY 19, ignoring section EY 19(1)(d), then the invest- ment income is included in policyholder base income to the extent provided by the formula— income × average surrender value average savings assets.
Deﬁnition of items in formula In the formula,— (a) (b) income is the income described in subsection (2): average surrender value is, for the savings product policies to which the income relates, the average sur- render value of the policies for the income year.
The life insurer may determine an equitable and reasonable basis for the measurement of the average: average savings assets is, for the savings product poli- cies to which the income relates, the average market value of assets held by the life insurer for the policies for the income year.

The life insurer may determine an equitable and reasonable basis for the measurement of the average.
(c) More equitable or reasonable basis of apportionment Despite subsections (2) and (3), for investment income de- scribed in subsection (2), the life insurer may use a basis of apportionment that is different from the one described in sub- sections (2) and (3), if that basis results in an amount, actu- arially determined, that is more equitable and reasonable than an amount determined using the basis described in subsections (2) and (3).

EY 16 Policyholder base allowable deductions: non-participation policies What is included For an income year, a life insurer’s deduction that relates to life insurance policies that are not proﬁt participation policies is included as their policyholder allowable deduction to the extent to which it is incurred in relation to their policyholder base income under section EY 15.
Basis of apportionment Despite subsection (1), if a deduction is included in a life in- surer’s policyholder base allowable deduction under subsec- tion (1), but may also be a shareholder base allowable deduc- tion under section EY 20, ignoring section EY 20(1)(d), the life insurer must use a basis of apportionment for the deduc- tion which is–– (a) the same as in section EY 15(2) and (3) with necessary modiﬁcations; or is the same as in section EY 15(4) with necessary modi- ﬁcations.

1133 Part E s EY 23 Income Tax Act 2007 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 EY 23 Reserving amounts for life insurers: non-participation policies Reserves Sections EY 24 to EY 27 apply to calculate a life insurer’s reserving amounts for life insurance policies, other than an- nuities, that have a life risk component and that are not proﬁt participation policies.

Actuarial determination All reserving amounts must be actuarially determined, for each class of policies.
Positive and negative amounts: shareholder base income or shareholder base allowable deduction If a reserving amount calculated under sections EY 24 to EY 27 is a positive amount, the life insurer has that amount as in- come included in their shareholder base income.

If a reserving amount calculated under sections EY 24 to EY 27 is a nega- tive amount, the life insurer has that amount as a deduction included in their shareholder base allowable deductions.

Which reserve can be used when?
For an income year, for a relevant class of policies, a life in- surer has a reserving amount described in— (a) section EY 24, for outstanding claims reserves (the out- standing claims reserving amount): section EY 25, for premium smoothing reserves (the premium smoothing reserving amount) if the life in- surer chooses to calculate a premium smoothing reserv- ing amount and the PSR periods for policies in the class of policies begins, continues or ends in the income year: section EY 26, for unearned premium reserves (the un- earned premium reserving amount), if the life insurer chooses to not calculate a premium smoothing reserv- ing amount: section EY 27, for capital guarantee reserves (the cap- ital guarantee reserving amount).
(b) (c) (d) Choice Despite subsection (4)(b) and (c), a life insurer may not change between calculating a premium smoothing reserving amount and an unearned premium reserving amount for a class of poli- (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) 1134 Reprinted as at 1 July 2010 Income Tax Act 2007 Part E s EY 24 cies once the premium smoothing reserving amount is used for the class of policies.
If a policy in a class of policies does not meet the relevant requirements described in subsection (6), then a life insurer has an unearned premium reserving amount for that class of policy.
(6) Meaning of PSR period PSR period means, for a policy in the relevant class of poli- cies, a period beginning, continuing or ending in the income year for which–– (a) premiums payable are level or substantially level, and the period is 1 or more years; or there is a material mismatch between the incidence of life risk components and the timing of premiums payable, and the period is 1 or more years.
