INCOME TAX (TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS) ACT 1997 - SECT 702.1

Modified application of section 40 - 77 of this Act to assets that an entity brings into a consolidated group

  (1)   This section applies if:

  (a)   an entity becomes a subsidiary member of a consolidated group; and

  (b)   just before it does so, section   40 - 77 of this Act applies to an asset that it holds.

  (2)   For so long as the asset continues to be:

  (a)   an asset of the head company because subsection   701 - 1(1) (the single entity rule) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies; or

  (b)   an asset of another entity, where it became such an asset as a result of that subsection ceasing to apply on the entity ceasing to be a subsidiary member of the group;

then, despite certain provisions of that Act applying, in accordance with subsection   701 - 55(2) of that Act, as if the asset were acquired for a payment equal to its tax cost setting amount:

  (c)   subsection   40 - 77(1) continues to apply to the asset; and

Note:   This means that Division   40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 continues not to apply to an asset that is a mining, quarrying or prospecting right.

  (d)   subsection   40 - 77(2) continues to apply to the asset, but applies as if the reference in that subsection to the cost of the asset were a reference to the cost worked out on the basis that the asset were acquired for a payment equal to its tax cost setting amount; and

  (e)   subsection   40 - 77(3) continues to apply to the asset, but applies as if the reference in that subsection to the amount included in assessable income under subsection   40 - 285(1) of that Act were a reference to the amount so worked out on the basis that the asset were acquired for a payment equal to its tax cost setting amount.
