Repeal the heading, substitute:

Subdivision B—How roll‑over relief is available on the disposal of an asset

Section 160ZZPO

Repeal the section, substitute:

160ZZPOWhat this Subdivision is about

This Subdivision sets out the way in which roll‑over relief is given to a taxpayer in respect of a year of income in which certain assets (roll‑over assets) are disposed of by the taxpayer.
If certain threshold criteria and other conditions are satisfied, capital gains do not accrue in respect of the disposals and net roll‑over amounts are worked out for the roll‑over assets.
The taxpayer may then nominate certain replacement assets in respect of the net roll‑over amounts and is to apportion the net roll‑over amounts to replacement assets in accordance with various rules.
The amounts apportioned are taken to reduce the cost base of the replacement assets.

Subsection 160ZZPP (note)

Omit “paragraph 160ZZPL(7)(b)”, substitute “paragraphs 160ZZPL(7)(b), (8)(d) and (9)(d)”.

Paragraphs 160ZZPQ(1)(c) and (d)

Repeal the paragraphs, substitute:
(c)
where the roll‑over asset is neither a share in a company nor a unit in a unit trust:
(i)
the roll‑over asset was an active asset at the disposal test time or, if it was not an active asset at that time because the relevant business had ceased to be carried on, the cessation occurred not earlier than 12 months before that time; and
(ii)
the roll‑over asset was an active asset during more than one‑half of the period in which it was owned by the taxpayer; and

Subsection 160ZZPQ(3)

Repeal the subsection, substitute:
Calculation of gross non‑goodwill roll‑over amount for assets other than shares or units
(3)
If the roll‑over asset is none of the following:
(a)
goodwill;
(b)
a share in a company;
(c)
a unit in a unit trust;
an amount (the gross non‑goodwill roll‑over amount) equal to the notional capital gain is taken for the purposes of this Division to apply to the taxpayer in respect of the year of income in which the disposal occurred.
Calculation of gross non‑goodwill roll‑over amount for shares or units
(3A)
If the roll‑over asset is a share in a company or a unit in a unit trust, an amount (the gross non‑goodwill roll‑over amount) equal to the lesser of the following amounts is taken for the purposes of this Division to apply to the taxpayer in respect of the year of income in which the disposal occurred:
(a)
an amount equal to the notional capital gain;
(b)
the amount worked out using the formula:
Amount taken to be capital gain
(3B)
If the gross non‑goodwill roll‑over amount is the amount worked out under paragraph (3A)(b), an amount equal to the difference between the notional capital gain and the amount worked out under that paragraph is taken to be a capital gain that accrued to the taxpayer in the year of income in which the disposal occurred.
Unrealised net capital gain from active assets
(3C)
Subject to subsection (3D), for the purposes of paragraph (3A)(b), the unrealised net capital gain is the total of the capital gains (after deducting any capital losses) that would accrue to the company or trust at the time of the disposal, as the case may be, if all assets of the company or trust that:
(a)
either:
(i)
were active assets at that time; or
(ii)
had ceased to be active assets because of the cessation of the relevant business of the company or trust not earlier than 12 months before that time; and
(b)
had been active assets during more than one‑half of the period in which they were owned by the company or were assets of the trust, as the case may be;
were disposed of at that time and the consideration for the disposal of each asset was an amount equal to the market value of the asset.
Certain assets to be disregarded in calculating unrealised net capital gain
(3D)
In calculating the unrealised net capital gain referred to in subsection (3C), no regard is to be had to any asset that had been nominated by the company or trust as a replacement asset for the purposes of this Division and was acquired by the company or trust less than 5 years before the time of the disposal of the roll‑over asset.

Subsection 160ZZPT(1)

Omit all the words after “one or more”, substitute “approved assets (a replacement asset or replacement assets) that were acquired by the taxpayer within the period beginning one year before, and ending 2 years after, the last disposal by the taxpayer of any roll‑over asset in that year of income”.

91ROutline of Division

This Division provides for the Commissioner to authorise quotations in respect of particular dealings with goods. Without an authorisation, the quote will not be effective.
Authorisations may be sought, and may be given, in any way that the Commissioner decides. This could be orally or by way of electronic transmission.
The authorisation may be given in relation to a particular dealing or may be a standing authorisation that applies to specified kinds of dealings.

91SQuote not effective without authorisation

(1)
A quote in relation to a dealing with Part 7A goods is only effective if:
(a)
the person quoting is accredited and the quote is authorised by the Commissioner; or
(b)
the quote is a quote of an exemption declaration, the dealing is not a local entry and the person making the quote intends to use the goods so as to satisfy an exemption item (other than a prescribed exemption item); or
(c)
the dealing is not a local entry and the person making the quote:
(i)
is registered; and
(ii)
is not acquiring the goods for resale; and
(iii)
satisfies the low purchase value test (see subsections (2) and (3)) in relation to that dealing; or
(d)
the quote is made in prescribed circumstances; or
(e)
the person accepting the quote satisfies the Commissioner that he or she was satisfied on reasonable grounds that paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) applied.
(2)
For a person to satisfy the low purchase value test in relation to a dealing (the current dealing), the total of the value of:
(a)
the current dealing; and
(b)
all other acquisitions of Part 7A goods for which the person quoted in the 12 months before the current dealing;
must be less than $6,000 or such other amount as is prescribed.
(3)
In addition, the person must have an expectation (based on reasonable grounds) that the total of the value of all acquisitions of Part 7A goods by the person in the 12 months after the current dealing for which the person will quote will be less than $6,000 or such other amount as is prescribed.
(4)
For a person (the seller) to be satisfied that another person (the purchaser) satisfies the low purchase value test in relation to a dealing, the seller must obtain from the purchaser a signed statement, in a form approved in writing by the Commissioner, that the purchaser satisfies the low purchase value test in relation to the dealing.
(5)
A person must not, in relation to any dealing with goods, falsely represent that the person satisfies the low purchase value test in relation to that dealing.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.

91TMethod of obtaining authorisation

(1)
A person who wants an authorisation in relation to a quote for a dealing must seek the authorisation in a manner approved in writing by the Commissioner.
(2)
The person may seek authorisation in relation to a single quote or in relation to quotes for a class of dealings. An authorisation in relation to a class of dealings is a standing authorisation.
(3)
Without limiting the Commissioner’s power under subsection (1), the Commissioner may approve authorisations being sought orally or by way of electronic transmission.

91UGiving of authorisation by Commissioner

(1)
If a person seeks an authorisation in relation to a single dealing, the Commissioner must give the authorisation unless:
(a)
the person making the quote is not accredited; or
(b)
the quote would not be effective even if the Commissioner authorised it; or
(c)
the Commissioner considers that there are reasonable grounds for believing that sales tax will not be, or is unlikely to be, paid in relation to the dealing or in relation to other dealings with those Part 7A goods.
Example: The Commissioner may believe that sales tax will not be paid in relation to a later sale to a retailer that is made by the person who buys the goods from the person making the application.
(2)
If a person seeks a standing authorisation, the Commissioner may give the standing authorisation if the Commissioner considers that there are reasonable grounds for believing that sales tax will be paid in relation to all dealings that would be covered by the standing authorisation and in relation to other dealings with the goods covered by those dealings.
(3)
The Commissioner may also, on his or her own initiative, give a person a standing authorisation covering such dealings as the Commissioner determines if the Commissioner considers that there are reasonable grounds for believing that sales tax will be paid in relation to all dealings that would be covered by the standing authorisation.
(4)
A standing authorisation does not cover a quote if:
(a)
the person making the quote is not accredited; or
(b)
the quote would not be effective even if the Commissioner authorised it.
(5)
The Commissioner may, by written notice, revoke a standing authorisation.
(6)
A person who is affected by a decision:
(a)
to refuse to authorise a transaction; or
(b)
to refuse to give a standing authorisation; or
(c)
to revoke a standing authorisation;
and is dissatisfied with the decision may object against the decision in the manner set out in Part IVC of the Taxation Administration Act 1953.
(7)
In determining that there are reasonable grounds for believing that sales tax will not be, or is unlikely to be, paid in relation to transactions with Part 7A goods dealt with by the person, the Commissioner is not limited to considering dealings to which the person is a party.

91VForm of authorisations

An authorisation may be given in such form, including orally or by way of electronic transmission, as the Commissioner considers appropriate.

Division 4—Withholding of sales tax on dealings with Part 7A goods

91XWithholding of sales tax

The person must keep the copies of all of the forms that the person is required to make under this section (other than those copies required to be given to the seller or sent to the Commissioner) for at least 5 years after the end of the financial year in which the payments to which the copies relate were made. The copies must be kept in Australia.
(4)
A person, other than a government body, who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence punishable on conviction by imprisonment for 12 months. In addition, the court may order the person to pay to the Commissioner as a penalty an amount not greater than the amount required to be deducted under section 91X from any payment to which the contravention relates.
(5)
A person, other than a government body, who contravenes subsection (2) or (3) is guilty of an offence punishable on conviction by a fine of 20 penalty units.

(1)
If a person has applied for a refund and the Commissioner is satisfied that:
(a)
a deduction was made from a payment to the applicant; and
(b)
the whole or a part of the amount of the deduction (the relevant amount) was made due to an act or omission of the applicant or another person; and
(c)
having regard to:
(i)
the purposes of this Division; and
(ii)
the nature of the act or omission referred to in paragraph (b); and
(iii)
such other matters (if any) as the Commissioner thinks fit;
it would be fair and reasonable to refund the relevant amount to the applicant, the Commissioner must refund the relevant amount to the applicant.
(2)
No person is entitled to a credit in respect of an amount refunded under subsection (1).
(3)
A person who is affected by a decision to refuse to refund an amount under subsection (1) and is dissatisfied with the decision may object against the decision in the manner set out in Part IVC of the Taxation Administration Act 1953.

91ZBFailure to make deductions from payments

(b)
an amount equal to 16% per annum of so much of the undeducted amount as remains unpaid, worked out from the end of the period within which the person, had the person deducted the required amount, would have been required to pay the amount to the Commissioner.
(2)

(a)
starting at the end of the period within which the body, had it deducted the required amount, would have been required to pay the amount to the Commissioner; and
(b)
ending on the day on which the whole of the amount payable by the body under this subsection in respect of the undeducted amount is paid.

91ZCFailure to pay amounts deducted to Commissioner
