“(8) Where—

(a) a change has occurred, otherwise than in the course of ordinary family or commercial dealing, in the ownership of, or in the interests of persons in, property that is not a chose in action and is not property to which paragraphs (7) (b) and (c) apply;

(b) a notice for the purposes of sub-section (2) in respect of the change in ownership or interests was given to the Commissioner after 30 January 1981 and before the commencement of this sub-section or is given to the Commissioner after the commencement of this sub-section;

(c) consideration was received or receivable in connection with the change in ownership or interests by the person, or by any one or more of the persons, who owned the property before the change; and

(d) the amount or value of that consideration substantially exceeds the amount or value of the consideration that might reasonably be expected to have been received or receivable by the person or persons referred to in paragraph (c) in connection with the change in ownership or interests if the value of the property, immediately before the change, had been the value applicable in accordance with sub-section (2),

then, notwithstanding sub-section (2), the notice does not have any effect to the extent to which the notice is in respect of that change in ownership or interests unless the persons giving the notice establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the change in ownership or interests occurred on or before 30 January 1981.

“(9) For the purposes of the application of sub-section (8) in relation to a change in the ownership of, or in the interests of persons in, property, so much of any consideration received or receivable by any person in connection with the change in ownership or interests as, in the opinion of the Commissioner, may appropriately be regarded as consideration received or receivable by the person or persons who owned the property before the change in ownership or interests shall be deemed to be consideration received or receivable by that person or by those persons, as the case may be, in connection with the change in ownership or interests.

“(10) In forming an opinion for the purposes of sub-section (9) whether it is appropriate that consideration received or receivable by a person (in this section referred to as the ‘relevant person’) in connection with a change in the ownership of, or in the interests of persons in, property should be regarded, in whole or in part, as consideration received or receivable in connection with the change in ownership or interests by the person or persons who owned the property before the change in ownership or interests, the Commissioner shall have regard to—

(a) any agreement entered into in connection with the change in ownership or interests;

(b) any agreement entered into in connection with the payment of the consideration to, or the receipt of the consideration by, the relevant person where, as a result of, or in connection with, the agreement, the person or any of the persons, who owned the property before the change in ownership or interests or any other person (other than the relevant person) will benefit from the giving of the consideration to, or the receipt of the consideration by, the relevant person;

(c) the nature of any connection (whether of a business, family or other nature) between the relevant person and the person, or any of the persons, who owned the property before the change in ownership or interests; and

(d) any other matters that the Commissioner considers relevant.

“(11) In sub-section (10), ‘agreement’ means any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether formal or informal, whether express or implied and whether or not enforceable, or intended to be enforceable, by legal proceedings.

“(12) In sub-sections (8), (9) and (10), a reference to consideration received or receivable by a person in connection with a change in the ownership of, or in the interests of persons in, property includes a reference to the amount or value of any benefit obtained, or that may reasonably be expected to be obtained, by the person in connection with that change in ownership or interests.”.

(b) a lessee, tenant or other person having an interest in land in Australia, on the connection of mains electricity facilities to that land where—

(c) at the time when the expenditure was incurred, the property in respect of which the expenditure was incurred was used, or installed ready for use and held in reserve, by the taxpayer or another person for, or in connection with, the provision of electricity for use, wholly or partly, in carrying on an assessable business on the land; or

(d) in a case to which paragraph (c) does not apply—the Commissioner is satisfied that, at the time when the expenditure was incurred, the taxpayer or another person intended to use the property in respect of which the expenditure was incurred for, or in connection with, the provision of electricity for use, wholly or partly, in carrying on an assessable business on the land at a time when the taxpayer was the owner, lessee or tenant or had an interest in the land, as the case may be.

“(2) This section does not apply to expenditure of a capital nature incurred by a taxpayer in providing, or by way of contribution to the cost of providing, water, light or power for use on or access to or communication with the site of prescribed mining operations within the meaning of Division 10 or prescribed petroleum operations within the meaning of Division 10aa.

“(3) Subject to this section, where a taxpayer incurs expenditure to which this section applies, the amount of that expenditure is an allowable deduction in the assessment of the taxpayer in respect of income of the year of income in which the expenditure is incurred.

“(4) Where—

(a) a deduction has been allowed, or would but for this sub-section be allowable, under this section from the assessable income of a taxpayer

of a year of income in respect of expenditure incurred on the connection of mains electricity facilities to land, being expenditure in relation to which this section would not apply but for paragraph (1) (d); and

(b) at no time during the period of 12 months after the time when the property in respect of which the expenditure was incurred is first used for, or in connection with, the provision of electricity to the land, is that property used, or installed ready for use and held in reserve, for, or in connection with, the provision of electricity for use in the carrying on of an assessable business on the land,

the deduction shall be deemed not to have been allowable, or not to be

allowable, as the case may be.

“(5) Where—

(a) a deduction has been allowed, or is allowable, under this section from the assessable income of a taxpayer of a year of income in respect of expenditure to which this section applies; and

(b) the taxpayer is recouped in respect of that expenditure by the Commonwealth, by a State, by a Territory, by an authority constituted by or under a law of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a Territory, or by any other person,

the amount recouped by the taxpayer shall be included in the assessable income of the taxpayer of the year of income in which the taxpayer is recouped.

“(6) For the purposes of sub-section (5), any consideration received by a taxpayer in respect of the disposal or transfer of the taxpayer’s right to be recouped in respect of any expenditure to which this section applies shall be taken to be an amount recouped by the taxpayer in respect of that expenditure.

“(8) Where a taxpayer receives an amount that constitutes to an unspecified extent a recoupment of expenditure to which this section applies, the Commissioner may, for the purposes of sub-section (5), determine the extent to which the amount constitutes a recoupment of that expenditure.

“(9) Where an amount of expenditure to which this section applies has been allowed or is allowable as a deduction under this section in an assessment of a taxpayer of any year of income, no amount shall, in respect of that expenditure, be an allowable deduction or be taken into account in ascertaining the amount of an allowable deduction, under a provision of this Act other than this section, in any assessment of any taxpayer or in calculating in accordance with section 90 the net income of any partnership or any partnership loss in respect of any year of income.

“(10) This section does not apply in relation to the calculation of the net income of a partnership, or a partnership loss, in accordance with section 90, but, where a partnership has incurred expenditure to which this section would apply if the partnership were a taxpayer, then, for the purposes of the applica-

tion of sub-section (3) in respect of a partner in a partnership, that partner shall be deemed to have incurred an amount of expenditure to which this section applies equal to—

(a) so much of the amount of that expenditure as the partners have agreed is to be borne by that partner; or

(b) if the partners have not agreed as to the part of that amount that is to be borne by that partner—so much of that amount as bears to that amount the same proportion as the individual interest of the partner in the net income of the partnership of the year of income in which the relevant expenditure was incurred bears to that net income or, as the case requires, the individual interest of the partner in the partnership loss for that year of income bears to that partnership loss.

“(11) In this section—

(a) a reference to the connection to any land of mains electricity facilities is a reference to—

(i) the connection of mains electricity cables from a point on the land or outside the land to a point on the land at which the consumption of electricity supplied through those cables to the land is to be metered;

but does not include a reference to the connection of mains electricity cables, the provision or installation of equipment or any work undertaken in the course of replacing or re-locating mains electricity cables or any equipment unless the connection of the mains electricity cables, the provision or installation of the equipment or the undertaking of the work is for the purpose of obtaining an increase in the amount of electricity that can be supplied to a point on the land;

(b) a reference to expenditure incurred on the connection to any land of mains electricity facilities includes a reference to expenditure incurred by way of contribution to the cost of a project consisting of the connection of mains electricity facilities to that land and to other land;

(d) a reference, in relation to expenditure incurred on the connection to any land of mains electricity facilities, to the property in respect of which the expenditure was incurred is a reference to the mains electricity cables or the equipment, or the mains electricity cables and the equipment, as the case requires, in respect of which the expenditure was incurred;

(e) a reference to the carrying on of an assessable business is a reference to the carrying on of a business for the purpose of producing assessable income; and
