INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 701.40

Exit history rule

  (1)   If the entity ceases to be a * subsidiary member of the group, this section has effect for the entity core purposes, so far as they relate to any thing covered by subsection   (2) (an eligible asset etc. ) after it becomes that of the entity because subsection   701 - 1(1) (the single entity rule) ceases to apply to the entity.

Assets, liabilities and businesses covered

  (2)   This subsection covers the following:

  (a)   any asset;

  (b)   any liability or other thing that, in accordance with * accounting principles, is a liability;

  (c)   any business;

that becomes that of the entity because subsection   701 - 1(1) (the single entity rule) ceases to apply to the entity when it ceases to be a * subsidiary member of the group.

Head company history inherited

  (3)   Everything that happened in relation to any eligible asset etc. while it was that of the * head company, including because of any application of section   701 - 5 (the entry history rule), is taken to have happened in relation to it as if it had been an eligible asset etc. of the entity.

Note 1:   If the eligible asset etc. was brought into the group when an entity became a subsidiary member, section   701 - 5 (the entry history rule) would have had the effect that things happening to the eligible asset etc. while it was that of the entity would be taken to have happened as if it was that of the head company. Such things will in turn be taken by this subsection to have happened in relation to the eligible asset etc. as if it were that of the entity that takes the asset out of the group.

Note 2:   Other provisions of this Part may affect the tax history that is inherited (e.g. asset cost base history is affected by section   701 - 45).
