Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) An amount that you are entitled to receive because you ceased to * hold a * registered emissions unit is not to be:
(a) included in your assessable income; or
(b) taken into account in working out your assessable income; or
(c) taken into account in working out an amount you can deduct;
under any provision of this Act outside this Division.
(2) Subsection (1) does not affect the operation of Division 6 so far as that Division provides for the significance of residence or source for the assessability of ordinary and statutory income.
Note: An amount included in your assessable income under this Division may be ordinary or statutory income for the purposes of Division 6.
(3) Subsections (1) and (4) do not affect the application of:
(a) Division 392 (long - term averaging of primary producers' tax liability); or
(b) Division 393 (farm management deposits);
to an amount that you are entitled to receive because you ceased to * hold a * primary producer registered emissions unit.
Australian carbon credit units
(4) An amount is not to be included in your assessable income under any provision of this Act outside this Division because an * Australian carbon credit unit was issued to you in accordance with the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 .
Note 1: A capital gain or capital loss you make from a registered emissions unit is disregarded (subsection 118 - 15(1)).
Note 2: A capital gain or capital loss you make from a right to receive an Australian carbon credit unit is disregarded (subsection 118 - 15(3)).
This Division sets out the taxation consequences of the demutualisation of private health insurers.
Policy holders, demutualising health insurers and certain other entities can disregard capital gains and losses arising under a demutualisation (see Subdivision 315 - A).
Shares and rights issued under the demutualisation are given a cost base based on the market value of the demutualising health insurer at the time of issue (see Subdivisions 315 - B and 315 - D).
Assets held by a lost policy holders trust are given roll - over relief if transferred to the lost policy holder, or if the lost policy holder becomes absolutely entitled to them. Otherwise the trustee of the lost policy holders trust is taxed on any capital gains (see Subdivision 315 - C).
A legal personal representative can disregard capital gains and losses made when passing an asset to a beneficiary of a policy holder's estate (see Subdivision 315 - E).
Shares, rights or cash received under a demutualisation are not assessable income and not exempt income (see Subdivision 315 - F).
Method statement
Step 1. Start with the * market value of the demutualising health insurer on the day the asset is issued.
Step 2. Divide the result of step 1 by the sum of:
(a) the number of shares in the entity that are issued under the demutualisation; and
(b) the number of shares in the entity that can be * acquired under rights that are demutualisation assets issued under the demutualisation.
Step 3. The result of step 2 is the first element of the * cost base and * reduced cost base of the asset, unless the asset is a right.
Step 4. If the asset is a right, multiply the result of step 2 by the number of shares that can be * acquired under the right. The result is the first element of the * cost base and * reduced cost base of the asset.
(a) is or has been a member of the friendly society or insured through the society or any of its wholly - owned subsidiaries; and
(b) receives money for the event.
(a) entities that are or were members of the friendly society; or
(b) entities insured through the society or its subsidiaries; or
(c) successors of such entities; or
(d) the trustee of the lost policy holders trust.
(a) capital gains or losses from CGT events happening to beneficiaries' interests in the trust are disregarded, except where the capital proceeds include money; and
(b) when a CGT event happens involving the transfer of the shares or rights to a beneficiary, or a beneficiary's absolute entitlement to them, the trustee's capital gain or loss is disregarded and the beneficiary has the same cost base and time of acquisition as the trustee; and
(c) the trustee is assessed on any capital gains from other CGT events happening to the shares or rights.
In many cases, income from demutualisation is assessed through the CGT provisions rather than as ordinary income or other statutory income.
Franking debits arise for the friendly society and its subsidiaries to ensure they do not enjoy a franking surplus. Franking debits and credits arise to negate credits and debits from things attributable to the time before demutualisation.
This Division provides for the taxation of life insurance companies in a broadly comparable way to other entities that derive similar kinds of income.
Because of the nature of the business of life insurance companies, the Division contains special rules for working out their taxable income.
Those rules:
• include certain amounts in assessable income;
• identify certain amounts of exempt income and non - assessable non - exempt income;
• identify specific deductions.
Life insurance companies can have one or both of these taxable incomes for any income year for the purposes of working out their income tax for that year:
• a taxable income of the complying superannuation class, which consists of taxable income that relates to complying superannuation business, and is taxed at the rate of tax that applies to complying superannuation funds;
• a taxable income of the ordinary class, which consists of taxable income that relates to other businesses and is taxed at the corporate tax rate.
Life insurance companies can also have tax losses that correspond to those 2 classes. The Division provides that tax losses of a particular class can be deducted only from incomes in respect of that class.
The Division ensures that the income tax worked out on the basis of these taxable incomes and tax losses is a single amount of income tax on one taxable income.
The Division also contains rules for segregating the assets of life insurance companies into:
• assets that relate to complying superannuation business;
• assets that relate to immediate annuity and other exempt business.
This Division also ensures that life insurance companies that are RSA providers are liable to pay tax on no - TFN contributions income.
This Subdivision explains how a life insurance company's income tax is worked out.
For that purpose, this Subdivision enables a life insurance company to have taxable incomes and tax losses of the following classes:
• the complying superannuation class;
• the ordinary class.
This Subdivision makes Subdivisions 295 - I and 295 - J apply to life insurance companies that are RSA providers.
The consequence is that those life insurance companies are liable to pay tax on no - TFN contributions income under Subdivision 295 - I. They may also be entitled to a tax offset under Subdivision 295 - J.
Method statement
Step 1. Add up the amounts that, at the end of the income year, the company determines, based on proper and reasonable estimates, to be appropriate to set aside and invest in order to meet:
(a) liabilities for outstanding claims under those policies; and
(b) direct settlement costs associated with those outstanding claims.
Step 2. Reduce the step 1 amount by so much of it as the company expects at the end of the income year to recover:
(a) under a contract of reinsurance; or
(b) in any other way;
other than under a contract of reinsurance to which subsection 148(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (about reinsurance with non - residents) applies.
Method statement
Step 1. Add up the gross premiums received or receivable by the company, in relation to * general insurance policies issued in the course of carrying on * insurance business, in that or an earlier income year.
Step 2. Reduce the step 1 amount by so much of the costs incurred by the company in connection with the issue of those policies as relate to the gross premiums, including, for example, costs such as:
(a) commission and brokerage fees; and
(b) administration costs of processing insurance proposals and renewals; and
(c) administration costs of collecting premiums; and
(d) selling and underwriting costs; and
(e) fire brigade charges; and
(f) stamp duty; and
(g) other charges, levies and contributions imposed by governments or governmental authorities that directly relate to general insurance policies.
Step 3. Reduce the step 2 amount by any premiums (the relevant reinsurance premiums ) paid or payable by the company, in that or an earlier income year, for the reinsurance of risks covered by those policies, except:
(a) reinsurance premiums that the company cannot deduct because of subsection 148(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (about reinsurance with non - residents); and
(b) reinsurance premiums that were paid or payable in respect of a particular class of * insurance business where, under the contract of reinsurance, the reinsurer agreed to pay, in respect of a loss incurred by the company that is covered by the relevant policy, some or all of the excess over an agreed amount.
Step 4. Add to the step 3 amount any reinsurance commissions received or receivable by the company that relate to the relevant reinsurance premiums.
Step 5. The value, at the end of an income year, of the unearned premium reserve is so much of the step 4 amount as the company determines, based on proper and reasonable estimates, to relate to risks covered by the policies in respect of later income years.
This Act applies to a payment of an entitlement under Part VC (Financial claims scheme for policyholders with insolvent general insurers) of the Insurance Act 1973 as if the payment were made by the insurer under the insurance policy concerned.
Disregard a capital gain or loss from:
(a) the disposal to APRA under that Part of rights against the insurer under an insurance policy; or
(b) the payment of an entitlement under that Part.
This Division explains the meaning of the terms small business entity , annual turnover , aggregated turnover and related concepts (Subdivision 328 - C).
If you are a small business entity, this Division allows you to change the way the income tax law applies to you in these ways:
(a) you can choose to put your depreciating assets into a general pool and treat the pool as a single asset (Subdivision 328 - D);
(b) you can choose not to account for annual changes in trading stock value that are not more than $5,000 (Subdivision 328 - E).
In usual circumstances, these changes will simplify the working out of your taxable income, and so reduce your compliance costs.
You may be entitled to a tax offset for any small business income included in your assessable income, if you are an individual (Subdivision 328 - F).
If you are a small business entity, you can choose to deduct amounts for most of your depreciating assets on a diminishing value basis using a pool that is treated as a single depreciating asset.
Broadly, the pool is made up of the costs of the depreciating assets that are allocated to it or, in some cases, a proportion of those costs.
The pool rate is 30%.
There is a deduction for assets whose cost is less than $1,000 in the income year in which you start to use the asset or have it installed ready for use.
This Subdivision sets out how to calculate the pool deductions, and also sets out the consequences of:
(a) disposal of depreciating assets; and
(b) not choosing to use this Subdivision for an income year after having chosen to do so for an earlier income year; and
(c) changing the business use of depreciating assets.
Method statement
Step 1. Add to the * opening pool balance of the pool for the income year:
(a) the sum of the * taxable purpose proportions of the * adjustable values of * depreciating assets you started to use, or have * installed ready for use, for a * taxable purpose during the income year and that are allocated to the pool; and
(b) the taxable purpose proportion of any cost addition amounts (see subsection 328 - 190(3)) for the income year for assets allocated to the pool.
Step 2. Subtract from the step 1 amount:
(a) the * taxable purpose proportions of the * termination values of * depreciating assets allocated to the pool and for which a * balancing adjustment event occurred during the income year; and
(b) your deduction under subsection 328 - 190(1) for the pool for the income year; and
(c) your deductions under subsection 328 - 190(2) for * depreciating assets you started to use, or have * installed ready for use, for a * taxable purpose during the income year and that are allocated to the pool; and
(d) your deductions under subsection 328 - 190(3) for the income year for cost addition amounts for assets allocated to the pool.
Step 3. The result is the closing pool balance of the pool for the income year.
You may be entitled to a tax offset if you are an individual:
(a) who is a small business entity; or
(b) whose assessable income includes a share of the net small business income of an unincorporated small business entity; or
(c) whose assessable income includes an amount because you are a partner in a partnership, or a beneficiary in a trust, that is a small business entity.
In working out whether you are or another entity is a small business entity, a special $5 million turnover threshold applies (see section 328 - 357).
An R&D entity may be entitled to a tax offset for R&D activities. The tax offset may be a refundable tax offset if the R&D entity's aggregated turnover is less than $20 million.
To be entitled to the tax offset, the R&D entity needs one or more notional deductions under this Division.
There are 2 main kinds of notional deductions. One is for expenditure on R&D activities. The other is for the decline in value of tangible depreciating assets used for R&D activities.
An R&D entity can notionally deduct its expenditure on registered R&D activities for which certain conditions are met.
There are special conditions for R&D activities conducted for foreign residents.
An R&D entity can notionally deduct the decline in value of a tangible depreciating asset used for R&D activities.
If a balancing adjustment event later happens for the asset, the R&D entity may be able to actually deduct a further amount. Alternatively, an amount may be included in the R&D entity's assessable income.
Method statement
Step 1. For each grouped entity, work out the sum of the amounts derived during the income year, or an earlier income year, by the grouped entity for goods or services relating to one or more of the * R&D activities while:
(a) the grouped entity was * connected with the * R&D entity; or
(b) the grouped entity was an * affiliate of the R&D entity or the R&D entity was an affiliate of the grouped entity.
Step 2. From the sum of those amounts, subtract the actual cost to each grouped entity of providing the goods or services that correspond to those amounts.
An amount is included in an R&D entity's assessable income if:
(a) the R&D entity receives a recoupment from government of expenditure on R&D activities for which it has obtained tax offsets under this Division; or
(b) the R&D entity can deduct under this Division expenditure on goods, materials or energy used during R&D activities to produce marketable products or products applied to the R&D entity's own use; or
(c) a balancing adjustment event happens for an asset held by the R&D entity (or an R&D partnership in which the R&D entity is a partner) for which tax offsets have been obtained under this Division and for which an amount is otherwise included in the R&D entity's (or R&D partnership's) assessable income.
An R&D entity can deduct an amount under this Subdivision if:
(a) a balancing adjustment event happens for an asset held by the R&D entity (or an R&D partnership in which the R&D entity is a partner); and
(b) tax offsets have been obtained under this Division for deductions for the asset; and
(c) the R&D entity (or the R&D partnership) can otherwise deduct an amount for the asset and the balancing adjustment event.
This Subdivision modifies the rules in this Division for partners of R&D partnerships.
In particular, the rules about deducting R&D expenditure are modified to allow a partner to deduct the partner's proportion of the R&D partnership's expenditure on R&D activities.
A partner of an R&D partnership may also be able to deduct under this Subdivision the decline in value of partnership assets used for R&D activities.
You may be entitled to a tax offset if you are, or a trust or partnership of which you are a member is, issued with certain kinds of equity interests in a small Australian company with high - growth potential that is engaging in innovative activities.
A modified CGT treatment may also apply to those equity interests.
Companies may be entitled to a refundable tax offset in relation to qualifying Australian development expenditure incurred in completing or porting a digital game, or carrying on ongoing development of digital games in an income year.
This offset is designed to support the growth of the digital games industry in Australia by providing concessional tax treatment for Australian expenditure.
One of the requirements for entitlement to the digital games tax offset is that the company must be issued with a certificate in respect of the completion, porting or ongoing development of a digital game. The certificate specifies the amount of qualifying Australian development expenditure determined by the Arts Minister in respect of the completion, porting or ongoing development of the digital game.
The amount of the refundable tax offset for an income year for a company is up to 30% of the sum of the determined totals of qualifying Australian development expenditure specified in certificates issued to the company for the income year.
This Division provides a tax offset to certain entities as a result of certificates issued under the National Rental Affordability Scheme Act 2008 .
It also ensures that payments made, and non - cash benefits provided, by a State or Territory governmental body in relation to the National Rental Affordability Scheme are not assessable income and not exempt income.
You can elect to exclude from your assessable income the profit on a forced disposal or death of live stock that you held as assets of a primary production business you carry on in Australia.
The excluded profit is then brought into your assessable income over a 5 year period in one of 2 ways.
Method statement
Step 1. Work out what would have been your taxable income for the income year if your assessable income for the income year:
(a) had not included any amount under section 82 - 65, 82 - 70 or 302 - 145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (certain superannuation benefits and employment termination payments); and
Note: This means that certain deductions will also be excluded.
(b) had not included any * net capital gain for the income year.
Step 2. Subtract from the Step 1 amount any * above - average special professional income included in your taxable income for the income year under Division 405.
Method statement
Step 1. Add up your * basic taxable income for each of the income years over which you must average your basic taxable income.
Step 2. Divide the sum by the number of those income years.
Step 3. Round the result down to the nearest whole dollar if the result is not already a number of whole dollars.
Method statement
Step 1. Compare your * assessable primary production income for the * current year with your * primary production deductions for the current year.
Step 2. If your assessable primary production income is larger than your primary production deductions, your taxable primary production income is the difference between them.
Step 3. If your primary production deductions are larger than (or equal to) your assessable primary production income, your taxable primary production income is nil.
Method statement
Step 1. Compare your * assessable non - primary production income for the * current year with your * non - primary production deductions for the current year.
Step 2. If your assessable non - primary production income is larger than your non - primary production deductions, your taxable non - primary production income is the difference between them.
Step 3. If your non - primary production deductions are larger than (or equal to) your assessable non - primary production income, your taxable non - primary production income is nil.
(a) you are an individual carrying on a primary production business (including a primary production business you carry on as a partner in a partnership or as a beneficiary of a trust); and
(b) you hold the deposit for at least 12 months; and
(c) you meet some other tests.
The amount of the deposit withdrawn is included in your assessable income in the income year in which it is repaid. Special rules apply if the deposit is repaid in the event of a severe drought or an applicable natural disaster.
Farm management deposits allow you to carry over income from years of good cash flow and to draw down on that income in years when you need the cash. This enables you to defer the income tax on your taxable primary production income from the income year in which you make the deposit until the income year in which the deposit is repaid.
Note: An FMD provider must, every calendar month, give certain information to the Agriculture Secretary about farm management deposits: see section 398 - 5 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 .
(a) an entitlement under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account - holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 relating to a farm management deposit (the old deposit ); or
(b) a distribution from liquidation of an ADI that is attributable to a farm management deposit (also the old deposit );
Significant fluctuations can occur in the professional incomes of authors, inventors, performing artists, production associates and sportspersons.
To lessen the impact of these fluctuations on your marginal tax rates, special tax rates apply if your professional income is above your average.
This Division explains how the scheme works and sets out the rules for working out your above - average special professional income.
Method statement
Step 1. Add up any amounts you can deduct for that year (except * apportionable deductions), so far as they reasonably relate to your * assessable professional income for the year.
Step 2. Work out the amount using the formula:
Note: The result may be greater than the apportionable deductions. Also, it may be negative.
Step 3. Add the sum from Step 1 to the result from Step 2. If the result is more than nil, it is the amount of your deductions to be subtracted from your * assessable professional income.
(a) a copyright collecting society to which section 51 - 43 applies makes a payment to a member of the society; or
(b) the resale royalty collecting society pays a resale royalty.
(a) carries on an infrastructure project designated under Subdivision 415 - C; and
(b) only engages, and has only ever engaged, in activities for the purposes of carrying on that designated infrastructure project.
The tests that apply in relation to tax losses and bad debts if there is a change of ownership of an entity are modified so that periods during which the entity is a designated infrastructure project entity are not tested.
The loss utilisation rules in Subdivision 707 - C do not apply if the head company of a consolidated group is a designated infrastructure project entity after another designated infrastructure project entity joins the group.
Note: The transfer rules in subsection 707 - 120(1A) do not apply if a designated infrastructure project entity joins a consolidated group: see subsection 707 - 120(5).
To receive the special treatment for tax losses and bad debts under Subdivision 415 - B, an entity must only engage in activities for the purposes of carrying on an infrastructure project designated by the Infrastructure CEO under this Subdivision.
Designation is dependent on:
(a) criteria prescribed by the Minister; and
(b) a cap on the total estimated private capital expenditure that would be incurred for all provisionally designated and designated infrastructure projects.
Generally, you are entitled to a tax offset for an income year for exploration credits issued to you for the income year.
A greenfields minerals explorer can create exploration credits for an income year. Before creating exploration credits, the explorer must obtain an allocation of exploration credits from the Commissioner for the year. Exploration credits cannot be created for the 2025 - 26 income year or later income years.
The exploration credits created for an income year cannot exceed an amount based on the explorer's greenfields minerals expenditure or tax loss for the year. If the explorer's exploration credits allocation for the year is smaller than that amount, the amount of exploration credits that the explorer can create will be reduced to sit within the allocation. However, any unused allocation of exploration credits from the preceding year generally would be carried over and so would increase the amount of exploration credits that the explorer can create.
An exploration credit created by a greenfields minerals explorer can be issued to you if you have invested in the explorer. While the tax offset you receive for the exploration credit issued to you for an income year will apply to that income year generally, the investment that gives rise to that offset may have been made in that or the preceding income year.
There are rules to ensure that exploration credits are not streamed to some investors rather than others. There are also rules to ensure that the total of the exploration credits you receive because of an investment (whether those credits are issued to you for the year in which you invest or the subsequent year) do not exceed the corporate tax that might be paid by the greenfields minerals explorer on that investment.
The explorer is liable to pay excess exploration credit tax if the explorer issues exploration credits in breach of these rules.
There is a cap on total allocations made by the Commissioner for each income year, but if part of the cap from the preceding year is unallocated it generally will be carried over. Allocations are made in the order in which applications for an allocation are made.
If an exploration credit is issued to a corporate tax entity, it will give rise to a franking credit (rather than a tax offset).
This Division deals with amounts you can deduct, and amounts included in your assessable income, because of these situations:
• you acquire a registered emissions unit;
• you hold a registered emissions unit at the start or the end of the income year;
• you dispose of a registered emissions unit.
