INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 328.250

Deductions for assets first used in BAE year

  (1)   This section applies in working out the amount that the transferor or transferee can deduct for the BAE year under subsection   328 - 180(1) (assets costing less than $1,000) or subsection   328 - 190(2) (assets that will be pooled) for a * depreciating asset that the transferor or transferee started to use, or have * installed ready for use, for a * taxable purpose during the BAE year.

Note:   This threshold may be affected by section   328 - 180 (about temporary increased access to accelerated depreciation) or 328 - 181 (about temporary full expensing) of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 .

Asset first used by transferor

  (2)   If the asset was first used or * installed ready for use by the transferor, the amount that can be deducted under subsection   328 - 180(1) or 328 - 190(2) for the asset for the BAE year is split equally between:

  (a)   the transferor and the transferee; or

  (b)   if there are 2 or more occurrences of * balancing adjustment events for relevant entities for the BAE year and a roll - over is chosen for each occurrence--the entities concerned.

Asset first used by transferee

  (3)   If the asset was first used or * installed ready for use by the transferee:

  (a)   the transferor cannot deduct anything for the asset for the BAE year; and

  (b)   the amount that can be deducted under subsection   328 - 180(1) or 328 - 190(2) for the asset for the BAE year is:

  (i)   deductible by the transferee; or

  (ii)   if there are 2 or more occurrences of * balancing adjustment events for relevant entities for the BAE year and a roll - over is chosen for each occurrence--split equally between the entities concerned (except ones that did not use the asset or have it installed ready for use).

Example:   To continue the example from section   328 - 247, the transferee buys an asset on the 150th day of the BAE year for $800.

  On the 250th day of the year, Evan joins the transferee partnership. The new transferee partnership is a small business entity for the BAE year, and chooses to use this Subdivision for that year, and a further roll - over is chosen.

  The original transferor cannot deduct anything for the asset. The original transferee (now a transferor) and the new transferee can deduct $400 each.

Special rule for assets costing less than $1,000

  (4)   Subsection   (5) applies if:

  (a)   the transferor started to use, or have * installed ready for use, an asset of a kind mentioned in paragraph   328 - 180(1)(b) during the BAE year; and

  (b)   a * balancing adjustment event occurs for that asset before the BAE day.

Note:   This threshold may be affected by section   328 - 180 (about temporary increased access to accelerated depreciation) or 328 - 181 (about temporary full expensing) of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 .

  (5)   The transferee cannot deduct anything for the asset for the BAE year, and subsection   328 - 215(4) does not apply to the transferee in relation to the asset.
