Increased allocable cost amount for leaving entity if it takes privatised asset brought into group by chosen transitional entity
701-50 Increased allocable cost amount for leaving entity if it takes privatised asset brought into group by chosen transitional entity
Application
This section provides for an addition to the step 1 amount for working out under section 711‑20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 the allocable cost amount for an entity (the leaving entity) that ceases to be a subsidiary member of the transitional group at a time (the leaving time), if:
the head company of the group holds an asset at the leaving time because the leaving entity is taken by subsection 701‑1(1) of that Act to be a part of the head company; and
the head company started to hold the asset because of that subsection when a chosen transitional entity became a subsidiary member of the group.
If entity sale situation affected asset’s cost for chosen transitional entity
If:
at a time before the chosen transitional entity became a subsidiary member of the transitional group:
all of that entity’s ordinary income and statutory income was not assessable income; and
that entity held the asset; and
just after that time, some or all of that entity’s ordinary income and statutory income became assessable income because another entity that later became a member of the transitional group purchased all the membership interests in the entity; and
the amount of the purchase price reasonably attributable to the asset exceeded the amount worked out under subsection (3);
the excess is added to the step 1 amount.
Work out the amount for the purposes of paragraph (2)(c) using the following table:
Amount for paragraph (2)(c) | ||
|---|---|---|
If, because of the circumstances described in paragraphs (2)(a) and (b): | The amount is: | |
1 | One of the following provisions applied to the entity: (a) former section 61A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936; (b) former Subdivision 57‑I in Schedule 2D to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936; (c) former subsection 58‑20(4) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 | The difference between: (a) the amount treated as being the cost of the asset under that provision; and (b) the total amount treated under that provision as being the deductions for depreciation of the asset before the transition time mentioned in that provision |
2 | One of the following subsections of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applied to the entity: (a) former subsection 58‑20(5); (b) 58‑70(3) | The amount treated as being the cost, or the first element of the cost, of the asset under that subsection |
If asset sale situation affected asset’s cost for chosen transitional entity
If:
on or after 4 August 1997, an entity (whether the chosen transitional entity or another entity) acquired the asset in connection with the acquisition of a business from the tax exempt vendor (within the meaning of those terms given by Division 58 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as that Division applied to the acquisition); and
because of the acquisition, that Division directly or indirectly affected how much the chosen transitional entity could deduct for the asset; and
that effect was partly due to the amount described in an item of the table being worked out for that entity directly or indirectly by reference to a provision of that Division specified in the item; and
that amount is less than it would have been apart from that provision;
the difference is added to the step 1 amount.
Amounts and provisions for different dates of acquisition | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Date of the acquisition | Amount | Provision of Division 58 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applying to the acquisition and the working out of the amount | |
1 | Before 1 July 2001 | Cost of the asset | Former section 58‑160 |
2 | Before 1 July 2001 | Cost of the asset | Former section 58‑220 |
3 | After 30 June 2001 | First element of the cost of the asset | Subsection 58‑70(5) |
As originally enacted, Division 58 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applied to acquisitions on or after 4 August 1997. That Act was later amended to replace Division 58, with the replacement Division 58 applying to acquisitions on or after 1 July 2001.
Division 58 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 may, for example, have indirectly affected how much the chosen transitional entity could deduct for the asset because:
that Division affected the amount that could be deducted by an entity that held the asset before the chosen transitional entity; and
that effect extended to the chosen transitional entity because of roll‑over relief.
