(c) each partner is to be taken for the purposes of this section and
sections 73C and 73D to have incurred so much (if any) of the expenditure as
was incurred out of money contributed by the partner (otherwise than by way of
loan), whether in the year of income in which the expenditure was incurred or
a previous year of income;
(d) if the partnership has, whether before or after the commencement of this
subsection, received, or become entitled to receive, a recoupment of, or a
grant in respect of, the whole or any part of the expenditure, each partner is
to be taken for the purposes of this section and sections 73C and 73D to have
received, or become entitled to receive, so much (if any) of the recoupment or
grant as is calculated in accordance with the formula:
amount of recoupment or grant partner's contribution total contribution;
where:
'partner's contribution' means the total contribution made (otherwise than
by way of loan) by the partner to the funds of the partnership as at the time
when the recoupment or grant was received or the entitlement to the recoupment
or grant arose, as the case may be;

than by way of loan) by all the partners to the funds of the partnership as at
the time when the recoupment or grant was received or the entitlement to the

any recoupment or grant that a partner is to be so taken to have received or
become entitled to receive, is not to be taken into account in determining the
net income of the partnership or any partnership loss, as the case may be, of
the year of income; and
(f) subject to paragraphs (c), (d) and (e), this section and sections 73C
and 73D apply in relation to each such partner that is an eligible company as
if that partner, and not the partnership, were, or had been, carrying on the
relevant project and activities, but so apply with such modifications to those
sections as are appropriate having regard to the partner's interest in the
partnership.
"(3B) In determining whether a relationship between persons for the purpose
of engaging in research and development activities constitutes a partnership
for the purposes of this Act, the engaging by those persons in those
activities is to be taken to constitute carrying on a business with a view to
profit.";

for the purposes of paragraph (5) (b) to have ceased during a year of income
to use a unit of plant exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on
behalf of the company of research and development activities merely because on
or after 21 November 1987 and during the whole or a part of the year of income
another person (whether or not an eligible company) used the unit of plant,
with the consent of the company, exclusively for the purpose of the carrying
on by or on behalf of that other person of research and development activities
(whether or not the same as the activities for which the unit of plant has
been used by the company).
"(5AB) Subsection (5AA) does not apply in relation to a unit of plant owned
by an eligible company in relation to a year of income unless the only reason
for any failure of the company to use the unit of plant during the whole or a
part of the year of income for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf
of the company of research and development activities was the use made of the
unit of plant during the year of income by another person as mentioned in that
subsection.";
(o) by omitting subsection (8);
(p) by inserting after subsection (9) the following subsection:
"(9A) Subsection (9) does not apply in relation to expenditure incurred on

expenditure during a year of income, the amount of that expenditure multiplied

year of income - 1.5; or
(b) in the case of the year of income ending on 30 June 1994 or a later year
of income - 1.25;
is allowable as a deduction from the assessable income of the company of the

commencement of this subsection, received, or become entitled to receive, any
consideration in respect of the use, by another person, as mentioned in
subsection (5AA), of a unit of plant, one-half of the total amount or value of
that consideration shall be applied in the reduction of any deduction or
deductions that has or have been allowed, or would but for this subsection be
allowable, under subsection (15) from the assessable income of the company of
any year of income in respect of that unit of plant.";
(s) by omitting from subsection (16) "1991" (wherever occurring) and

to be taken not to have used a unit of plant before it was disposed of, lost
or destroyed exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf of
the company of research and development activities merely because of either or
both of the following:
(a) another person used the unit of plant as mentioned in subsection (5AA);
(b) the company failed to use the unit of plant for the reason mentioned in
subsection (5AB).".

- SECT 8
8. After section 73B of the Principal Act the following sections are
inserted:
Recouped expenditure on research and development activities
"73C. (1) For the purposes of interpretation, this section is to be read and
construed as if it were part of section 73B.
"(2) This section applies where:
(a) an eligible company has, at any time during the deduction period,
incurred expenditure (in this section called the 'relevant expenditure') on
research and development activities that formed or form part of a particular
project carried on by or on behalf of the company; and
(b) the company has, whether before or after the commencement of this
section, received, or become entitled to receive, a recoupment of, or a grant
in respect of, the whole or any part of the relevant expenditure by or from
the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory or an authority constituted by or
under a law of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a Territory.
"(3) Where this section applies to a company in respect of relevant
expenditure in relation to a particular project:
(a) the relevant expenditure is subject to the application of clawback in
accordance with this section; and
(b) for the purposes of this section the initial clawback amount in relation
to the relevant expenditure is an amount equal to twice the amount, or twice
the total of the amounts, as the case may be, that the company has received,
or become entitled to receive, as a recoupment of, or as a grant in respect
of, any of the relevant expenditure as mentioned in paragraph (2) (b).
"(4) A deduction is not allowable, and is to be taken never to have been
allowable, under section 73B in respect of any relevant expenditure that was
incurred before 21 November 1987 and in respect of which this section applies
to the company, and that expenditure is, subject to the provisions of this
section relating to clawback, to be disregarded for the purposes of the
application of section 73B to the company.
"(5) The following subsections apply only if the relevant expenditure
includes or consists wholly of, expenditure incurred on or after 21 November
1987.
"(6) Where the relevant expenditure includes both expenditure incurred
before 21 November 1987 and expenditure incurred on or after that date:
(a) if the initial clawback amount is equal to or less than the relevant
expenditure that was incurred before that date, clawback applies to so much of
the relevant expenditure that was incurred before that date as does not exceed
the initial clawback amount; or
(b) if the initial clawback amount exceeds the relevant expenditure that was
incurred before that date, the following provisions have effect:
(i) clawback applies to so much of the relevant expenditure as was
incurred before that date;
(ii) if the excess (in the following subparagraphs called the 'excess
clawback amount') is equal to or greater than so much of the relevant
expenditure as was or is incurred on or after that date (in this subsection
called the 'deductible relevant expenditure') - clawback applies to the whole
of the deductible relevant expenditure;
(iii) if the excess clawback amount is less than the deductible
relevant expenditure - clawback applies to so much of the deductible relevant
expenditure as does not exceed the excess clawback amount;
(iv) for the purpose of applying clawback to deductible relevant
expenditure as mentioned in subparagraph (iii):
(A) regard is to be had first to the earliest year of income of the
company in which any deductible relevant expenditure was incurred and then, if
necessary, in chronological order to each later year of income; and
(B) to the extent that clawback is applied to deductible relevant
expenditure incurred in a year of income of the company, the excess clawback
amount to be applied to such expenditure incurred in a later year of income is
reduced accordingly; and
(C) if the part of the excess clawback amount that is applicable to
deductible relevant expenditure incurred in a year of income is less than that
expenditure and that expenditure comprises 2 or more kinds of expenditure -
that part of the excess clawback amount is to be apportioned among those kinds
of expenditure in such manner as the Commissioner determines, being an
apportionment that will minimise any reduction in the deduction allowable to
the company under section 73B in respect of that expenditure.
"(7) Where the relevant expenditure consists wholly of expenditure incurred
on or after 21 November 1987 the following provisions have effect:
(a) if the initial clawback amount is equal to or greater than the relevant
expenditure - clawback applies to the whole of that expenditure;
(b) if the initial clawback amount is less than the relevant expenditure -
clawback applies to so much of the relevant expenditure as does not exceed the
initial clawback amount;
(c) for the purpose of applying clawback to relevant expenditure as
mentioned in paragraph (b):
(i) subject to subparagraph (ii), regard is to be had to the years of
income of the company in the following order:
(A) the year of income, or, in chronological order, each year of
income, in which the company received, or became entitled to receive, an
amount that is taken into account in ascertaining the initial clawback
amount;
(B) in reverse chronological order, each year of income before the
year, or the earliest year, of income referred to in sub-subparagraph (A);
(C) in chronological order, each year of income to which regard has
not
been had under sub-subparagraph (A) or (B); and
(ii) if the company did not receive, or become entitled to receive,
any
part of the initial clawback amount until after the last year of income in
which any of the relevant expenditure was incurred, regard is to be had first
to the latest year of income in respect of which a deduction was allowed, or
is allowable, under section 73B in respect of any of that expenditure and
then, in reverse chronological order, to each of the earlier years of income;
and
(iii) to the extent that clawback is applied to relevant expenditure
incurred in a year of income of the company, the initial clawback amount to be
applied to such expenditure incurred in another year of income is reduced
accordingly; and
(iv) if the part of the initial clawback amount that is applicable to
relevant expenditure incurred in a year of income is less than that
expenditure and that expenditure comprises 2 or more kinds of expenditure -
that part of the initial clawback amount is to be apportioned among those
kinds of expenditure in such manner as the Commissioner determines, being an
apportionment that will minimise any reduction in the deduction allowable to
the company under section 73B in respect of that expenditure.
"(8) Where clawback applies to contracted expenditure incurred on or after
21 November 1987, subsection 73B (13) has effect in relation to that
expenditure as if there were omitted from that subsection the following words
and paragraphs:
'multiplied by:
(a) in the case of the year of income ending on 30 June 1993 or an earlier
year of income - 1.5; or
(b) in the case of the year of income ending on 30 June 1994 or a later year
of income - 1.25;'.
"(9) Where clawback applies to expenditure (other than contracted
expenditure) incurred on or after 21 November 1987, no deduction acceleration
factor applies in respect of that expenditure for the purposes of section
73B.
"(10) Except as provided by subsections (8) and (9), the application of
clawback to any expenditure does not have any effect for the purposes of
section 73B.
Reduction of deductions
"73D. (1) For the purposes of interpretation, this section is to be read and
construed as if it were part of section 73B.
"(2) Where:
(a) an eligible company has, on or after 21 November 1987, incurred
expenditure on research and development activities that formed or form part of
a particular project carried on by or on behalf of the company; and
(b) the company has, whether before or after the commencement of this
section, received, or become entitled to receive, as a recoupment of, or as a
grant in respect of, any of that expenditure an amount or amounts that has not
or have not been, and will not be, included in the assessable income of the
company of any year of income;
the deduction, or the sum of the deductions, that, but for this subsection,
would be allowable under section 73B (as affected by section 73C) in respect
of the expenditure referred to in paragraph (a) in the assessment or

which paragraph 160ZH (1) (c), (2) (c) or (3) (c), as the case may be,

39. After section 13C of the Principal Act the following Division is
inserted in Part III:
"Division 6 - Setting Aside etc. of Conviction or Order on Application of
Commissioner
Setting aside etc. of conviction or order on application of Commissioner
"13CA. (1) Where a person has been convicted in his or her absence of a
prescribed taxation offence (whether before or after the commencement of this
section), the Commissioner may apply to a court (in this section called the
'quashing court') for:
(a) an order setting aside the conviction or setting aside the order of the
convicting court in respect of the conviction; or
(b) an order varying the order of the convicting court in respect of the
conviction so as to reduce its severity.
"(2) The application shall be made in writing:
(a) to the convicting court; or
(b) to any other court of summary jurisdiction that would have had
jurisdiction to make the conviction or order.
"(3) The proper officer of the quashing court shall, without delay, cause
notice of the making of the application to be given to each party to the
application (other than the Commissioner).
"(4) Any person who was a party to the proceedings in which the defendant
was convicted shall be made a party to the proceedings in respect of the
application.
"(5) If the quashing court is satisfied that:
(a) the conviction or order was made in circumstances that, in the opinion
of the court, make it desirable, in the interests of justice, that:
(i) the conviction or order be set aside; or
(ii) the order be varied by reducing its severity; or
(b) because of other special circumstances (whether or not existing at the
time the conviction or order was made) it is desirable, in the interests of
justice, or in order to avoid undue hardship, that:
(i) the order be set aside; or
(ii) the order be varied so as to reduce its severity;
the court may set aside the conviction, or set aside or vary the order, as the
case may be, on such terms as to costs or otherwise as the court thinks just.
"(6) If the court sets aside the conviction, or sets aside or varies the
order in respect of the conviction, the court shall also set aside any warrant
issued in consequence of the conviction.
"(7) If the quashing court:
(a) is not the convicting court; and
(b) sets aside the conviction, or sets aside or varies the order, of the
convicting court;
the proper officer of the quashing court shall without delay cause notice of
the setting aside or variation to be given to the convicting court.
"(8) A reference in this section to a conviction includes a reference to the
making of an order under section 19B of the Crimes Act 1914 .
"(9) The setting aside of a conviction or order under this section is a bar
to any further legal proceeding against the defendant for the same matter in
any court (other than on appeal).
"(10) This section is in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other
law of the Commonwealth or any law of a State or Territory.".
