INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 170.33

Alternative test of relations between the loss company and other companies

  (1)   The conditions in subsections   170 - 30(1) and (2) are taken to be met in relation to the * loss company and the * income company if:

  (a)   the loss company is an Australian branch (as defined in Part   IIIB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ) of a * foreign bank; and

  (b)   the income company is covered by item   1 or 2 of the table in subsection   170 - 30(4) (because the company is the * head company of a * consolidated group or * MEC group at the time described in that item); and

  (c)   the relevant circumstances in this section exist.

Circumstances

  (2)   One circumstance is that there is another company (the first link company ) in relation to which all these conditions are met:

  (a)   the first link company became a * subsidiary member of a * consolidated group or * MEC group after the start of the * loss year but before the time described in the item of the table in subsection   170 - 30(4) that covers the * income company;

  (b)   the * tax loss could have been transferred from the * loss company to the first link company under this Subdivision (apart from subsection   170 - 30(4) and this section) for a * deduction year consisting of the * trial year for the first link company becoming a subsidiary member of that group had:

  (i)   the first link company continued to be * in existence as a separate entity (rather than being part of the head company of that group) when it was a subsidiary member of that group; and

  (ii)   the trial year not started before the start of the loss year; and

  (iii)   the first link company had enough assessable income for the trial year;

  (c)   the tax loss would have been incurred by the income company because of one or more transfers under Subdivision   707 - A assuming the tax loss had been made by the first link company (apart from that Subdivision) for the loss year.

  (3)   If the condition in paragraph   (2)(c) could be met only if there had been a transfer described in that paragraph involving a company other than the first link company and the * income company, another circumstance is that the other company and the * loss company were * in existence and members of the same * wholly - owned group for the period:

  (a)   starting when the * tax loss would have been transferred under Subdivision   707 - A to the other company as described in that paragraph; and

  (b)   ending when the tax loss would have been transferred under Subdivision   707 - A from the other company as described in that paragraph.

  (4)   It does not matter whether or not any of the transfers mentioned in subsection   (3) would have involved the first link company or the * income company as well as the other company.

  (5)   Another circumstance is that the conditions in subsections   170 - 30(1) and (2) would have been met for the * loss company and the * income company assuming:

  (a)   the * loss year consisted of the part of the income year in which the * tax loss would have been transferred to the income company under Subdivision   707 - A as described in paragraph   (2)(c) occurring after the time the transfer would have occurred; and

  (b)   so much (if any) of the * deduction year as occurred before the time the transfer would have occurred were disregarded.
