701D‑1 Object of this Division

701D‑1  Object of this Division

 (1) The object of this Division is to allow an entity that is a potential subsidiary member of a consolidated group to utilise an overall foreign loss during a transitional period, rather than have the head company utilise the loss subject to the restrictions in Subdivision 707‑C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

 (2) Therefore, this Division allows the head company to prevent the entity from being a subsidiary member of the group, for a transitional period.

Foreign loss condition

 (3) The foreign loss condition is satisfied if:
