dividends included in the assessable income of the shareholder of a year of

earlier years of income;

17 of Part IIIA, that Part does not apply in respect of the disposal that

resulted in the acquisition of relevant property by a shareholder, the cost

base to the shareholder of the relevant property shall be determined as if the

shareholder had paid as consideration in respect of the acquisition of the

relevant property an amount equal to the amount that would have been the cost

base to the transferor concerned of the relevant property for the purposes of

that Part if that Part had applied in respect of the disposal of the relevant

property to the shareholder.

Dividends paid out of profits arising from the re-valuation of certain assets

 "46E. (1) In this section:

 'arrangement' means:

 

(a)

  any agreement, arrangement, understanding, promise or undertaking,

whether express or implied, and whether or not enforceable, or intended to be

enforceable, by legal proceedings; and

 

(b)

  any scheme, plan, proposal, action, course of action or course of

conduct, whether unilateral or otherwise;

 'asset re-valuation dividend' means a dividend paid to a shareholder at a

particular time after 4 June 1987 in respect of a share in a company that was

a re-valued asset-holding company as at that time (whether the company was a

resident or a non-resident as at that time), to the extent to which the

dividend was paid by the company out of profits arising from an eligible

re-valuation of an asset;

 'net worth', in relation to a company, means the total value of the assets

of the company as reduced by the total liabilities of the company.

 "(2) For the purposes of the application of the definition of 'asset

re-valuation dividend' in subsection (1) to a dividend paid to a shareholder

at a particular time (in this subsection called the 'payment time') in respect

of a share in a company (in this subsection called the 'asset-holding

company'):

 

(a)

 a re-valuation of an asset of the asset-holding company shall be taken

to have been an eligible re-valuation if, and only if:

 

(i)

  at a particular time (in this subsection called the 'disposal

time'), the shareholder or any other person disposed of:

 (A) the share;

 (B) another share in the asset-holding company;

 (C) a share in a company other than the asset-holding company, being a

company that was related to the asset-holding company immediately before the

disposal time; or

 (D) a beneficial interest in a trust estate that was related to the

asset-holding company immediately before the disposal time;

 

(ii)

  any of the following sub-subparagraphs apply:

 (A) the disposal time was after the time of the re-valuation of the

asset;

 (B) the re-valuation of the asset occurred at the disposal time;

 (C) the disposal time was before the time of the re-valuation of the

asset and the asset was re-valued under or as the result of an arrangement

entered into at or before the disposal time;

 

(iii)

  if sub-subparagraph (ii) (A) applies-the asset-holding company did

not dispose of the asset at or before the disposal time;

 

(iv)

  if sub-subparagraph (ii) (C) applies-the asset-holding company owned

the asset at the disposal time and continued to own the asset until the

re-valuation of the asset; and

 

(v)

  had the asset-holding company disposed of the asset at the disposal

time, either of the following sub-subparagraphs would have applied:

 (A) any profit that would have arisen on the disposal of the asset

would, in whole or in part, have been included in the assessable income of the

asset-holding company or any loss that would have arisen from the disposal of

the asset would, in whole or in part, have been allowable as a deduction to

the asset-holding company;

 (B) the asset was acquired by the asset-holding company on or after 20

September 1985 and Part IIIA would, or would but for Division 17 of that Part,

have applied in respect of the disposal of the asset; and

 

(b)

 a company shall be taken to have been a re-valued asset-holding company

as at the payment time if, and only if:

 

(i)

  the company was an unlisted company as at the payment time; and

 

(ii)

  if sub-subparagraph (a) (ii) (A) or (B) applies-the total value of

the re-valued assets of the company, as at the disposal time, was not less

than 75% of the net worth of the company as at the disposal time; and

 

(iii)

  if sub-subparagraph (a) (ii) (C) applies-the total value of the

re-valued assets of the company, immediately after the re-valuation, was not

less than 75% of the net worth of the company as at the disposal time.

 "(3) For the purposes of this section:

 

(a)

 a company shall be taken to have been related to another company at a

particular time if, and only if, at that time, a reduction in the value of any

shares in the other company could reasonably be expected to have resulted in a

reduction in the value of any shares in the first-mentioned company; and

 

(b)

 a trust estate shall be taken to have been related to a company at a

particular time if, and only if, at that time, a reduction in the value of any

shares in the company could reasonably be expected to have resulted in a

reduction in the value of any of the property of the trust estate.

 "(4) For the purposes of subparagraph (2) (a) (i) and subsection (3):

 

(a)

 a reference to a share includes a reference to:

 

(i)

  an interest in a share; and

 

(ii)

  a right or option (including a contingent right or option) to

acquire a share or an interest in a share; and

 

(b)

 a reference to a beneficial interest in a trust estate includes a

reference to a right or option (including a contingent right or option) to

acquire a beneficial interest in a trust estate.

 "(5) For the purposes of this section, the question whether an asset was

acquired on or after 20 September 1985 shall be determined in the same manner

as the question whether an asset was acquired on or after that date is

determined under Part IIIA.

 "(6) For the purposes of this section, an asset of a company shall be taken

to have been a re-valued asset of the company if, and only if:

 

(a)

  after 4 June 1987, the company paid a dividend to a shareholder wholly

or partly out of profits arising from the re-valuation of the asset; and

 

(b)

  had the company disposed of the asset immediately after the

re-valuation, either of the following subparagraphs would have applied:

 

(i)

  any profit that would have arisen on the disposal of the asset

would, in whole or in part, have been included in the assessable income of the

company or any loss that would have arisen from the disposal of the asset

would, in whole or in part, have been allowable as a deduction to the

company;

 

(ii)

  the asset was acquired by the company on or after

20 September 1985 and Part IIIA would, or would but for Division 17 of that

Part, have applied in respect of the disposal of the asset.

 "(7) In calculating the net worth of a company for the purposes of this

section, the Commissioner shall, if satisfied that liabilities were discharged

or released, or assets acquired, for the purpose, or for purposes that

included the purpose, of ensuring that this section would not apply in

relation to a shareholder in the company, disregard the discharge or release

of those liabilities or the values of those assets, as the case may be.

 "(8) For the purposes of this section, a company shall be taken to have been

an unlisted company as at a particular time unless, as at that time, the

company:

 

(a)

  had been admitted to the official list of a securities exchange within

the meaning of the Securities Industry Act 1980 or a law of a State, of a

Territory or of, or of a part of, a foreign country corresponding to that Act;

and

 

(b)

  had not been removed from that official list.

 "(9) A reference in this section to the carrying out of an arrangement by a

person includes a reference to the carrying out of an arrangement by a person

together with another person or other persons.

 "(10) A reference in this section to the entering into or carrying out of an

arrangement includes a reference to the entering into or carrying out of an

arrangement before the commencement of this section.

 "(11) A reference in this section to the obtaining by a taxpayer of a

capital tax benefit in connection with an arrangement is a reference to:

 

(a)

 an amount not being included in the assessable income of the taxpayer

of a year of income by way of profit arising on the disposal of an asset where

that amount would have been included, or might reasonably be expected to have

been included, in the assessable income of the taxpayer of that year of income

if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out; or

 

(b)

 an amount of a capital gain, within the meaning of Part IIIA, not

accruing to the taxpayer during a year of income where that amount would have

accrued, or might reasonably be expected to have accrued, to the taxpayer

during the year of income if the arrangement had not been entered into or

carried out.

 "(12) A shareholder is not entitled, and shall be deemed never to have been

entitled, to a rebate under section 46 or 46A in respect of an asset

re-valuation dividend if the dividend was paid under or as the result of an

arrangement where:

 

(a)

 a taxpayer, being a company (whether or not the shareholder), has

obtained a capital tax benefit in connection with the arrangement; and

 

(b)

  having regard to:

 

(i)

  the manner in which the arrangement was entered into or carried out;

 

(ii)

  the form and substance of the arrangement;

 

(iii)

  the time at which the arrangement was entered into and the length

of the period in which the arrangement was carried out;

 

(iv)

  the result in relation to the operation of this Act that, but for

this section, would be achieved by the arrangement;

 

(v)

  any change in the financial position of the company that has

resulted, will result, or may reasonably be expected to result, from the

arrangement;

 

(vi)

  any change in the financial position of any person who has or has

had any connection (whether of a business, family or other nature) with the

company, being a change that has resulted, will result, or might reasonably be

expected to result from the arrangement;

 

(vii)

  any other consequence for the company, or for any person referred to

in subparagraph (vi), of the arrangement having been entered into or carried

out; and

 

(viii)

  the nature of any connection (whether of a business, family or

other nature) between the company and any person referred to in subparagraph

 (vi); it would be concluded that the person, or one of the persons, who

entered into or carried out the arrangement or any part of the arrangement did

so for the purpose, or for purposes that included the purpose, of enabling the

company to obtain a capital tax benefit in connection with the arrangement or

of enabling the company and another taxpayer or other taxpayers each to obtain

a capital tax benefit in connection with the arrangement (whether or not that

person who entered into or carried out the arrangement or any part of the

arrangement is the company or is the other taxpayer or one of the other

taxpayers).

 "(13) A reference in subsection (12) to an entitlement to a rebate includes

a reference to a rebate being allowed or allowable, as the case requires.

 "(14) Nothing in section 170 prevents the amendment of an assessment at any

time for the purpose of giving effect to this section.".

Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (in this section called the "Assessment Act")

in ascertaining the amount of provisional tax payable by a taxpayer in respect

of the year of income that commenced on 1 July 1987 (in this section called

the "current year of income"), being a taxpayer who would, apart from this

section and subsection 221YBA (5) of the Assessment Act, be liable to pay

provisional tax calculated in accordance with subsection 221YC (1) or (1A) of

the Assessment Act in respect of the current year of income:

 

(a)

 if paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act applies to the

taxpayer-the amount of provisional tax payable by the taxpayer in respect of

the current year of income by virtue of that paragraph is the amount

ascertained by deducting from the amount of income tax that would have been

assessed in respect of the amount that would have been the taxable income of

the taxpayer of the year of income that commenced on 1 July 1986 (in this

section called the "preceding year of income") if:

 

(i)

  the taxable income of the taxpayer of the preceding year of income

had, except for the purpose of determining the notional income for the purpose

of section 59AB or 86 of the Assessment Act, been increased by 11%;

 

(ii)

  where, for the purposes of Division 6AA of Part III of the

Assessment Act:

 (A) in the case of a taxpayer to whom Subdivision C of Division 2 of

Part II of the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 applied-the taxpayer's eligible

taxable income of the preceding year of income exceeded $416; or

 (B) in the case of a taxpayer to whom Subdivision D of Division 2 of

Part II of the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 applied-the taxpayer had an eligible

taxable income of the preceding year of income;

(iia)

  for the purposes of Division 16A of Part III of the Assessment

Act (other than the purpose of calculating the average eligible taxable income

of the taxpayer of the current year of income), the eligible taxable income of

the taxpayer of the preceding year of income had been increased by 11%;

 

(iii)

  for the purposes of section 156 of the Assessment Act, the deemed

taxable income from primary production of the taxpayer of the preceding year

of income had been increased by 11%;

 

(iv)

the Income Tax Rates Act 1986, other than Division 4 of Part II, as

that Act applies to assessments in respect of the current year of income, had

been in force and applied to assessments in respect of the preceding year of

income;

 

(v)

the Medicare Levy Act 1986, as that Act applies to assessments in

respect of the current year of income, had been in force and applied to

assessments in respect of the preceding year of income;

taxpayer's assessment in respect of the preceding year of income-that Division

had applied as if the conditions set out in subparagraphs (i) to (v)

 (inclusive) were applicable for the purposes of making that assessment other

than for the purpose of determining the average income of the taxpayer for the

purposes of the application of that Division;

 

(vii)

  the taxpayer had not been entitled to any rebate (other than a

rebate under section 156 of the Assessment Act applicable in relation to the

taxpayer in accordance with subparagraph (vi)) or credit in the taxpayer's

assessment; and

 

(viii)

  the assessable income of the taxpayer of the preceding year of

income had not included any net capital gain within the meaning of Part IIIA

of the Assessment Act; the sum of:

 

(ix)

  the rebates (other than a rebate under section 156 or 160ACD of the

Assessment Act) and credits to which the taxpayer was entitled in the

taxpayer's assessment in respect of income of the preceding year of income; and

 

(x)

  where the taxpayer was entitled to a rebate under section 160ACD of

the Assessment Act in the taxpayer's assessment in respect of the income of

the preceding year of income-one-half of the amount of that rebate; and

 

(b)

 if paragraph 221YC (1) (b) of the Assessment Act applies to the

taxpayer-the amount of provisional tax payable by the taxpayer in respect of

the current year of income by virtue of that paragraph is:

 

(i)

  in a case where:

 (A) paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act would apply to the

taxpayer in relation to the current year of income but for subsection 221YA

(5) of that Act; and

 (B) the taxpayer is a taxpayer to whom paragraph 221YA (5) (a) of the

Assessment Act applies, but paragraph 221YA (5) (b) of that Act does not

apply, in relation to the current year of income; the amount that would be

payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act

(as affected by paragraph (a) of this subsection) if subsection 221YA (5) were

not included in that Act and Division 16C of Part III of that Act were not

applicable in relation to the preceding year of income;

 

(ii)

 (A) paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act would apply to the

taxpayer in relation to the current year of income but for subsection 221YA

(5) of that Act; and

Assessment Act applies, but paragraph 221YA (5) (a) of that Act does not

apply, in relation to the current year of income; the amount that would be

payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act

(as affected by paragraph (a) of this subsection) if subsection 221YA (5) were

not included in that Act and the taxable income of the taxpayer of the

preceding year of income had been increased by the sum of the deductions

allowed or allowable to the taxpayer under sections 77F, 124ZAF and 124ZAFA of

that Act in the taxpayer's assessment in respect of the preceding year of

income;

 

(iii)

  in the case where:

 (A) paragraph 221YC (1) (a) of the Assessment Act would apply to the

taxpayer in relation to the current year of income but for subsection 221YA

(5) of that Act; and

 (B) the taxpayer is a taxpayer to whom paragraphs 221YA (5) (a) and (b)

of the Assessment Act apply in relation to the current year of income; the

 (D) Division 16C of Part III of the Assessment Act were not applicable

in relation to the preceding year of income; and

 (E) the amount that, but for this sub-subparagraph, would have been the

under sections 77F, 124ZAF and 124ZAFA of the Assessment Act in the taxpayer's

assessment in respect of the preceding year of income; and

 

(iv)

  in any other case-the amount that would be payable by the taxpayer

under paragraph (a) of this subsection if the provisions of that paragraph

applied to the taxpayer in relation to the taxpayer's income of the current

year of income and:

 (A) the taxable income of the taxpayer of the preceding year of income

had been equal to the amount that the Commissioner estimates would have been

the provisional income of the taxpayer if Division 16C of Part III of the

Assessment Act were not applicable in relation to the preceding year of income

increased by the sum of the deductions (if any) allowed or allowable to the

taxpayer under sections 77F, 124ZAF and 124ZAFA of the Assessment Act in the

taxpayer's assessment in respect of the preceding year of income;

the deemed taxable income from primary production of the taxpayer of the

preceding year of income were such amount (if any) as the Commissioner

determines;
