The company's net capital gain for the income year is worked out in this way:
Working out the company's net capital gain
Step 1. Add up the * notional net capital gains (if any) worked out under section 165 - 108.
Note: A notional net capital loss for a period is not taken into account, but counts towards the company's net capital loss for the income year.
Step 2. Add to the Step 1 amount so much of each amount included in the company's assessable income for the income year under:
(a) section 97 (Beneficiary of a trust estate who is not under a legal disability) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ; or
(b) section 98A (Non - resident beneficiaries assessable in respect of certain income) of that Act;
as is attributable to a * capital gain that the trust made outside the income year.
Note: This is relevant only if the trust has an income year that starts and ends at a different time from when the company's income year starts and ends.
Step 3. If the Step 2 amount is more than zero, reduce it by applying any unapplied * net capital losses from previous income years. (If this reduces it to zero, the company has no net capital gain for the income year.)
Note: To apply net capital losses: see section 102 - 15.
Step 4. If the Step 3 amount is more than zero, it is the company's net capital gain .
Note : For exceptions and modifications to these rules: see section
102 - 30.
