370‑1What this Division is about

The Commissioner may determine a modification of the operation of a provision of a taxation law. The modification must not be inconsistent with the intended purpose or object of the provision. Furthermore:
(a)
the Commissioner must consider the modification to be reasonable; and
(b)
the Department, or the Finance Department, must advise that any impact of the modification on the Commonwealth budget would be negligible.
Example: After a provision of a taxation law is enacted, it is found that, because of developments in the practices of businesses or the Commissioner, the provision imposes disproportionate compliance costs on taxpayers. The Commissioner might, under this Division, be able to modify the operation of the provision to give timely relief.
An entity must not apply a modification if it would produce a less favourable result for the entity.
Note: The Commissioner must include in the Commissioner’s annual report under section 3B of this Act information about the exercise of his or her powers under this Division.

370‑5Commissioner’s remedial power

(1)
The Commissioner may, by legislative instrument, determine a modification of the operation of a provision of a *taxation law if:
(a)
the modification is not inconsistent with the intended purpose or object of the provision; and
(b)
the Commissioner considers the modification to be reasonable, having regard to:
(i)
the intended purpose or object of the provision; and

(2)

Scope of determination
(3)
A modification applies generally, unless the determination states that the modification only applies:
(a)
to a specified class of entities; or
(b)
in specified circumstances.
(4)
An entity (the first entity) must treat a modification as:
(a)
not applying to the first entity; and
(b)
not applying to any other entity;
if the modification would produce a less favourable result for the first entity.
(5)
If the Commissioner determines a modification of the operation of a provision of a *taxation law, the modification (as applied by subsection (2)) does not affect a right or liability under an order (including any judgment, conviction or sentence) made by a court before the commencement of the determination.

(b)
consideration may be given to any other material (including material not forming part of the provision) that would assist in ascertaining the intended purpose or object of the provision; and
(c)
primacy is not required to be given to the text of the provision.
Note: Ascertaining an intended purpose or object for the purposes of paragraph 370‑5(1)(a) or subparagraph 370‑5(1)(b)(i) is not necessarily the same as ascertaining a purpose or object for the purposes of interpreting a provision of an Act.

145

Saving provision about liability for excise
