s 165-115ZD — Adjustment (or further adjustment) for interest realised at a loss after global method has been used

(1) This section affects how sections 165 ‑ 115ZA and 165 ‑ 115ZB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 apply to an interest (the equity ) in, or a debt owed by, a company if apart from this section, a loss (the realised loss ): (a) would be realised for income tax purposes by a realisation event that happens to the equity or debt; or (b) would be so realised but for Subdivision 170 ‑ D of that Act (which defers realisation of capital losses and deductions); and the company chose to use the global method of working out whether it had an adjusted unrealised loss at the last alteration time: (c) that happened for the company, before the realisation event; and (d) immediately before which the equity or debt was, or was part of: (i) if the company was a loss company at that alteration time—a relevant equity interest, or a relevant debt interest, that an entity had in the company; or (ii) otherwise—what would have been such an interest if the company had been a loss company at that alteration time; and these conditions are satisfied: (e) that last alteration time is before the day on which the New Business Tax System (Consolidation, Value Shifting, Demergers and Other Measures) Act 2002 received the Royal Assent; and (f) the entity that owns the equity or debt immediately before the realisation event chooses to apply this section to the equity or debt, in relation to that last alteration time, instead of section 165 ‑ 115ZD of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ; and (g) the choice is made on or before the latest of these: (i) the last day of the period of 6 months after the day referred to in paragraph (c) of this subsection; (ii) the day on which the entity lodges its income tax return for the income year in which the realisation event occurred; (iii) such later day as the Commissioner allows. If the entity makes that choice, this section applies accordingly instead of that section. (2) In addition to any application to the equity or debt, in relation to that last alteration time, that sections 165 ‑ 115ZA and 165 ‑ 115ZB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 have apart from this section, those sections apply (and are taken always to have applied) to the equity or debt, in relation to that last alteration time, as if: (a) the company had an adjusted unrealised loss at that time equal to the realised loss (see subsection (1) or (5), as appropriate, of this section) of this section, except so much of the loss as it is reasonable to conclude is attributable to none of these: (i) a notional capital loss, or a notional revenue loss, that the company has at that last alteration time in respect of a CGT asset; (ii) a trading stock decrease in relation to that time for a CGT asset that was trading stock of the company at that time; and (b) the company were therefore a loss company at that time; and (c) that adjusted unrealised loss were the company’s overall loss at that time. (3) For the purposes of how sections 165 ‑ 115ZA and 165 ‑ 115ZB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 apply because of this section, the adjustment amount under section 165 ‑ 115ZB of that Act is to be worked out and applied in accordance with subsection 165 ‑ 115ZB(6) (the non ‑ formula method) of that Act. (4) To avoid doubt: (a) a notice need not be given under section 165 ‑ 115ZC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 because of this section; and (b) this section does not affect the requirements that apply to a notice that otherwise must be given under that section. (5) If the equity or debt is a revenue asset at the time of the realisation event, subsection (2) applies on the basis that the realised loss is the total of: (a) the loss (if any) realised for income tax purposes by the realisation event happening to the equity or debt in its character as a CGT asset; and (b) the loss (if any) realised for income tax purposes by the realisation event happening to the equity or debt in its character as a revenue asset.

s 197-25 — Special provisions if company chooses to untaint after introduction day

(1) This section applies if, after the introduction day, the company chooses under section 197 ‑ 55 of new Division 197 to untaint its share capital account. Working out the amount of section 197 ‑ 60 untainting tax (2) For the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197, the tainting amount at the time of the choice to untaint is taken to consist of: (a) the amounts (the old Division 7B tainting amount components ) that made up the old Division 7B tainting amount; and (b) any amounts to which new Division 197 applies that have been transferred to the company’s share capital account since the introduction day and before the choice to untaint is made. Note 1: The company will not be liable to untainting tax if it is covered by subsection (5). Note 2: If the company is covered by subsection (6), the old Division 7B tainting amount components will not be included in the tainting amount for the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60. (3) For the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197, a reference to the section 197 ‑ 45 franking debit that arose in relation to an old Division 7B tainting amount component is taken to be a reference to the tax ‑ paid ‑ basis franking debit amount in relation to that component (see subsection (4)). (4) For the purpose of subsection (3), the tax ‑ paid ‑ basis franking debit amount , in relation to an old Division 7B tainting amount component, is the amount worked out in accordance with the formula: where: class A franking debit means the class A franking debit (if any) that arose under section 160ARDV of old Division 7B in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component. class C franking debit means the class C franking debit that arose under section 160ARDQ or 160ARDV of old Division 7B in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component. (5) The company is not liable to untainting tax under section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197 in relation to the choice to untaint if: (a) during the period from the time when the company’s share capital account became tainted under old Division 7B to the time when the choice to untaint is made, the company was a company with only lower tax shareholders (as defined in subsection 197 ‑ 60(1) of new Division 197); and (b) the tainting amount for the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197 does not include any amounts of the kind mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) of this section. (6) If: (a) the tainting amount for the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197 consists of or includes an amount or amounts of the kind mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) of this section; and (b) during the period from the time when the company’s share capital account became tainted to the time when the amount, or the first of the amounts, referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection was transferred into the company’s share capital account, the company was a company with only lower tax shareholders (as defined in subsection 197 ‑ 60(1) of new Division 197); then, despite subsection (2) of this section, for the purpose of section 197 ‑ 60 of new Division 197, the tainting amount at the time of the choice to untaint does not include the old Division 7B tainting amount components. Working out the amount of section 197 ‑ 65 franking debit (7) For the purpose of section 197 ‑ 65 of new Division 197, the tainting amount at the time of the choice to untaint is taken to consist of: (a) the amounts (the old Division 7B tainting amount components ) that made up the old Division 7B tainting amount; and (b) any amounts to which new Division 197 applies that have been transferred to the company’s share capital account since the introduction day and before the choice to untaint is made. Note: In relation to amounts described in paragraph (b), section 197 ‑ 65 applies without any notional modifications. (8) Paragraph 197 ‑ 65(1)(b) of new Division 197 has effect in relation to each old Division 7B tainting amount component as if the following paragraph (the notionally substituted paragraph ) were substituted for it: (b) the tax ‑ paid ‑ basis franking debit amount in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component is less than the amount calculated by the formula in subsection 197 ‑ 65(3) in relation to the component. (9) Subsection 197 ‑ 65(3) of new Division 197 has effect in relation to each old Division 7B tainting amount component as if the reference to the amount of the franking debit that arose under section 197 ‑ 45 in relation to the transferred amount were instead a reference to the tax ‑ paid ‑ basis franking debit amount in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component. (10) For the purpose of the notionally substituted paragraph, and of subsection (9) of this section, the tax ‑ paid ‑ basis franking debit amount , in relation to an old Division 7B tainting amount component, is the amount worked out in accordance with the formula: where: class A franking debit means the class A franking debit (if any) that arose under section 160ARDV of old Division 7B in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component. class C franking debit means the class C franking debit that arose under section 160ARDQ or 160ARDV of old Division 7B in relation to the old Division 7B tainting amount component.

Late balancing entities—2001 ‑ 2002 income year (2) If a corporate tax entity’s 2001 ‑ 2002 income year ends after 30 June 2002, section 205 ‑ 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has effect in relation to the entity’s assessment for that income year as if the following method statement had replaced the method statement in that section. Method statement Step 1. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a). Step 2. Add to the step 1 result the excess that is covered by paragraph (1)(c). The result is the tax offset to which the entity is entitled under this section for the relevant year. Late balancing entities—2002 ‑ 2003 income year (3) If: (a) a corporate tax entity’s 2002 ‑ 2003 income year ends after 30 June 2003; and (b) the entity makes a valid election under section 205 ‑ 20 in that income year; section 205 ‑ 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has effect in relation to the entity’s assessment for that income year as if the following method statement had replaced the method statement in that section. Method statement Step 1. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a) and was incurred before 30 June 2003. Step 2. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a) and was incurred on 30 June 2003. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account during the period of 12 months immediately preceding that date. Step 3. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a) and was incurred after 30 June 2003. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account after that date and before the end of the last day on which the entity incurred a franking deficit tax liability in the relevant year. Step 4. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(b) and was incurred in the 2001 ‑ 2002 income year. Step 5. Work out the excess that is covered by paragraph (1)(c). Step 6. Add up the results of steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The result is the tax offset to which the entity is entitled under this section for the relevant year. Late balancing entities—later income years (4) If: (a) an income year of a corporate tax entity ends after 30 June 2004; and (b) the entity makes a valid election under section 205 ‑ 20 in that income year; section 205 ‑ 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has effect in relation to the entity’s assessment for that income year as if the following method statement had replaced the method statement in that section. Method statement Step 1. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a) and was incurred on or before the 30 June in the relevant year. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account during the period of 12 months immediately preceding that 30 June. Step 2. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(a) and was incurred after the 30 June in the relevant year. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account after that date and before the end of the last day on which the entity incurred a franking deficit tax liability in the relevant year. Step 3. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(b) in relation to a previous income year and was incurred on or before the 30 June in that income year. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account during the period of 12 months immediately preceding that 30 June. Step 4. Work out the total amount of franking deficit tax that is covered by paragraph (1)(b) in relation to a previous income year and was incurred after the 30 June in that income year. Then reduce it by 30% if it exceeds 10% of the total amount of franking credits that arose in the entity’s franking account after that date and before the end of the last day on which the entity incurred a franking deficit tax liability in that income year. Step 5. Add up the results of steps 3 and 4 for all the previous income years covered by paragraph (1)(b). Step 6. Work out the excess that is covered by paragraph (1)(c). Step 7. Add up the results of steps 1, 2, 5 and 6. The result is the tax offset to which the entity is entitled under this section for the relevant year. Application of the 30% reduction rule (5) If a franking credit has been taken into account previously in reducing an amount worked out under a step in the method statement in: (a) subsection (3) or (4); or (b) section 205 ‑ 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ; that credit is not to be taken into account again in reducing another amount worked out under a step in such a method statement. (6) The 30% reductions for an entity in steps 2 and 3 of the method statement in subsection (3), and in steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the method statement in subsection (4), apply only to franking deficit tax that is attributable to franking debits of the entity: (a) that arose under table item 1, 3, 5 or 6 in section 205 ‑ 30 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the relevant income year; and (b) if the entity has franking debits covered by paragraph (a) for the relevant income year—that arose under table item 2 in that section of that Act for the relevant income year. (7) The 30% reductions in those steps do not apply in working out the amount of the tax offset to which an entity is entitled for the relevant year if the Commissioner determines in writing, on application by the entity in the approved form, that the excess referred to in those steps was due to events outside the control of the entity. (8) A determination under subsection (7) is not a legislative instrument.

s 219-45 — Reversing (on tax paid basis) certain franking debits that arose before 1 July 2002

Note: As the effects of former sections 160AQCNCE and 160APVN of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 are not duplicated in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , this section ensures that a debit arising under former section 160AQCNCE before 1 July 2002 is reversed on a tax paid basis on that date if it has not been reversed under former section 160APVN before that date.

(3) The other condition relating to the Australian company is that the company was a 100% subsidiary of a company that: (a) was a listed public company; and (b) was an NZ resident or would have been one had section 220 ‑ 20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , and section 995 ‑ 1 of that Act so far as it relates to section 220 ‑ 20 of that Act, applied throughout the period. Condition relating to the NZ parent company (4) The condition relating to the NZ parent company is that it: (a) was not a 100% subsidiary of another company that was a member of the same wholly ‑ owned group; and (b) was an NZ resident or would have been one had section 220 ‑ 20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , and section 995 ‑ 1 of that Act so far as it relates to section 220 ‑ 20 of that Act, applied throughout the period. Franking credits for the period remain franking credits (5) A franking credit arises in the Australian company’s franking account immediately after the switch time. Note: This franking credit will partly or fully offset the franking debit that arises under item 1 of the table in section 208 ‑ 145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 because the Australian company becomes a former exempting entity at the switch time. Franking credits for the period do not become exempting credits (6) An exempting debit arises in the Australian company’s exempting account immediately after the switch time. Note: This exempting debit will partly or fully offset the exempting credit that arises under item 1 of the table in section 208 ‑ 115 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 because the Australian company becomes a former exempting entity at the switch time. Amount of franking credit and exempting debit (7) Work out the amount of the franking credit arising under subsection (5) and the exempting debit arising under subsection (6) using the table: Amount of the franking credit and the exempting debit Item If: The amount of the credit and debit is: 1 The period starts immediately after 7.30 pm by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 13 May 1997 The franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the switch time 2 Both these conditions are met: (a) item 1 does not apply; (b) the Australian company’s franking account was not in surplus at the start of the period The franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the switch time 3 All these conditions are met: (a) item 1 does not apply; (b) the Australian company’s franking account was in surplus at the start of the period; (c) the surplus in the account at the switch time is greater than the surplus at the start of the period The difference between: (a) the franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the switch time; and (b) the franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the start of the period No franking credit or exempting debit in some cases (8) Subsections (5) and (6) do not have effect if: (a) the start of the period is not immediately after 7.30 pm by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 13 May 1997; and (b) the franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the switch time is not greater than the franking surplus in the Australian company’s franking account at the start of the period.
