TAXATION LAWS AMENDMENT ACT (No. 5) 1989 No. 20 of 1990

- SECT 8

 

 8. Section 69 of the Principal Act is repealed and the following section is

substituted:

Tax-related expenses

 "69. (1) Subject to this section, expenditure (other than expenditure of a

capital nature) incurred by the taxpayer on or after 1 July 1989, to the

extent to which the expenditure is in respect of a tax-related matter, is an

allowable deduction for the year of income in which the expenditure is

incurred.

 "(2) For the purposes of the application of this section to a

taxpayer, a reference in this section to a tax-related matter is a reference

to:

 

(a)

  the management or administration of the income tax affairs of the

taxpayer; or

 

(b)

  compliance with an obligation imposed on the taxpayer by a law of the

Commonwealth, insofar as that obligation relates to the income tax affairs of

another taxpayer;

but does not include a reference to an offence-related matter.

 "(3) For the purposes of this section, expenditure incurred by the taxpayer

in respect of a tax-related matter is not to be taken to be expenditure of a

capital nature only because the income tax affairs concerned relate to matters

of a capital nature.

 "(4) A deduction is not allowable under subsection (1) in respect of a fee

or commission for professional advice concerning the operation of a law

relating to taxation unless the advice is provided by a recognised

professional tax adviser.

 "(5) A deduction is not allowable under subsection (1) for expenditure that

consists of:

 

(a)

  income tax; or

 

(b)

 an amount payable under Part VI; or

 

(c)

 a financing cost in relation to an amount covered by paragraph (a) or

 (b) "(6) A provision of this Act (including a provision of section 51) that

expressly prevents or restricts the operation of section 51 applies in the

same way to this section.

 "(7) For the purposes of this section, where:

 

(a)

 a taxpayer dies during a year of income; and

 

(b)

  the trustee of the estate of the deceased taxpayer incurs expenditure

on or after 1 July 1989 that, if it had been incurred by the taxpayer during

his or her lifetime,

 would have been an allowable deduction to the taxpayer

under subsection (1);

then, in the assessment of the trustee upon the assessable income derived by

the deceased taxpayer, the expenditure is to be taken to be expenditure

incurred by the taxpayer during that year of income.

 "(8) If:

 

(a)

 a deduction has been allowed or is allowable under subsection (1) to a

taxpayer for any expenditure; and

 

(b)

  that expenditure, or any part of it, is:

 

(i)

  reimbursed to the taxpayer; or

 

(ii)

  paid for the taxpayer by another person; or

 

(iii)

  recouped by the taxpayer from another person;

the assessable income of the taxpayer of the year of income in which the

amount is so reimbursed, paid for or recouped includes that amount.

 "(9) For the purposes of this Act, where property is used by the taxpayer on

or after 1 July 1989 for a tax-related matter, that use of the property by the

taxpayer is to be taken to be for the purpose of producing assessable income

of the taxpayer.

 "(10) Subsection (9) has effect subject to a provision of this Act that

expressly provides that a particular use of property is not to be taken to be

for the purpose of producing assessable income.

 "(11) In this section:

 'financing cost', in relation to an amount (in this definition called the

'financed amount'), means expenditure incurred by the taxpayer to the extent

to which it is incurred in respect of obtaining finance for the financed

amount and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes:

 

(a)

  interest or a payment in the nature of interest; and

 

(b)

  expenses of borrowing;

 'income tax' means tax (however described) that is:

 

(a)

  imposed by an Act other than this Act; and

 

(b)

  payable under this Act;

 'offence-related matter' means a matter relating to the commission, or

possible commission, of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, of a

State, of a Territory or of a foreign country and, without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, includes a matter relating to:

 

(a)

  the investigation of such an offence; and

 

(b)

 a prosecution for, or other proceedings in relation to, such an

offence;

 'recognised professional tax adviser' means:

 

(a)

 a registered tax agent (within the meaning of section 251A); or

 

(b)

 a person exempted under subsection 251L (2) from the operation of

section 251L; or

 

(c)

 a person who is enrolled as a barrister, a solicitor or a barrister and

solicitor of a federal court or a court of a State or Territory;

 'tax-related matter' has the meaning given by subsection (2).".

where:

 

(a)

  the building is used or to be used solely or principally as

residential accommodation for students whose usual place of residence is in a

rural area and who are undertaking primary or secondary education courses, or

special education programs for children with disabilities, at a school or

schools in the same locality as the residential accommodation; and

 

(b)

  the capital or recurrent costs of the school or schools are

funded (in whole or in part) by the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory; and

 

(c)

  the residential accommodation is provided by the Commonwealth, a

State or a Territory, by a public authority or by a company that is not

carried on for the purposes of profit or gain to its individual members and

is, by the terms of the company's constituent document, prohibited from making

any distribution whether in money, property or otherwise, to its members;

 "(2) For the purposes of determining the deductions allowable to a life

 "(3) This section does not apply to premiums derived by a life assurance

company in a year of income unless the company obtains a certificate by an

authorised actuary, in the approved form, with respect to the operation of

this section, before the date of lodgment of the return of income of the

company of the year of income or within such further time as the Commissioner

Liability to make payments under this Division

 "221AO. For the purpose of securing generally the more expeditious

collection of income tax payable by relevant entities, a relevant entity is

liable to make payments of income tax in accordance with this Division in

respect of its taxable income of each year of income to which this Division

applies.

When initial payment to be made

 "221AP. Subject to sections 221AN, 221AT, 221AU and 221AV, a relevant entity

must make an initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of a year

of income to which this Division applies not later than 28 July next following

that year of income.

Amount of initial payment

 "221AQ. (1) Subject to this Division, the amount of an initial payment of

tax to be made by a relevant entity in respect of its taxable income of a year

of income is 85% of:

 

(a)

  the amount specified in a written notice given by the entity to the

Commissioner to be the amount estimated by the entity to be the income tax

that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of that year of income;

or

 

(b)

 if no such notice is given - the entity's notional tax in respect of

that year of income.

 "(2) A notice given under paragraph (1) (a) in relation to a year of

income:

 

(a)

  must specify the amount estimated by the entity to be the income tax

that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of that year of income;

and

 

(b)

 is irrevocable.

 "(3) If:

 

(a)

 a relevant entity gives a notice under paragraph (1) (a) at a time

after the relevant entity made the initial payment of tax in respect of its

taxable income of the year of income to which the notice relates; and

 

(b)

  the entity had paid as that initial payment an amount that was not less

than 85% of its notional tax in respect of that year of income; and

 

(c)

  the amount estimated by the entity to be the income tax that will be

payable in respect of its taxable income of that year of income is less than

its notional tax in respect of that year of income;

the Commissioner must, as soon as practicable, refund to the entity an amount

equal to 85% of the difference between the amount so estimated and that

notional tax.

Power of relevant entity to revise estimate in certain circumstances

 "221AR. (1) A relevant entity that had given a notice under paragraph 221AQ

(1) (a) in respect of a year of income at the time when the initial payment of

tax in respect of its taxable income of that year of income was made may,

before the date by which it is required to make a final payment of tax in

respect of its taxable income of that year of income, by written notice given

to the Commissioner, make a revised estimate of the amount of the income tax

that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of that year of income

in substitution for the estimate made by it under that paragraph.

 "(2) An entity is entitled to make only one revised estimate under

subsection (1) in respect of each year of income.

 "(3) If the Commissioner has made a determination under section 221AW in

respect of the income tax that will be payable by a relevant entity in respect

of its taxable income of a year of income, the entity is not entitled to make

a revised estimate under subsection (1) of this section of that income tax

that would be less than the amount determined by the Commissioner.

 "(4) If, by virtue of a determination made by the Commissioner under section

221AX, the amount estimated by a relevant entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a)

to be the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of

a year of income is increased, the entity is not entitled to make a revised

estimate under subsection (1) of this section of that income tax that would be

less than the increased amount.

 "(5) If a relevant entity makes a revised estimate under subsection (1) of

the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of a year

of income that exceeds the amount of the estimate of that income tax that was

made by the entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a), the entity must pay to the

Commissioner, when notice of the revised estimate is given to the

Commissioner, an amount equal to 85% of the excess.

 "(6) If a relevant entity makes a revised estimate under subsection (1) of

the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of a year

of income that is less than the amount of the estimate of that income tax that

was made by the entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a), the Commissioner must,

as soon as practicable, refund to the entity an amount equal to 85% of the

difference.

 "(7) Nothing in this section prevents a relevant entity that has made an

initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of a year of income

from making a further payment or payments on account of tax in respect of that

taxable income at any time or times before the day on which the entity makes a

final payment of tax in respect of that taxable income under section 221AZD.

Statement as to basis of estimate

 "221AS. If a relevant entity makes an estimate or revised estimate of the

income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of a year of

income, the entity must, if required to do so by the Commissioner by written

notice served on the entity, give to the Commissioner, within the period

specified in the notice, a written statement showing the basis on which the

estimate or revised estimate, as the case may be, was made and containing such

information and explanations in connection with the application of this

Division (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

information and explanations as to any matters referred to in

sub-subparagraphs 221AX (4) (b) (ii) (a) to (h) (inclusive)) as are specified

in the notice.

 Penalty: $3,000.

Circumstances in which initial payment not required

 "221AT. (1) Where the amount ascertained in relation to a relevant entity in

respect of a year of income to which this Division applies in accordance with

the formula 100 X otherwise required initial payment

 85

is less than:

 

(a)

  except where paragraph (b) applies - $1,000; or

 

(b)

 if the Commissioner has determined another amount under subsection (2)

in relation to that year of income - that other amount; then, unless the

Commissioner otherwise determines in relation to the entity or a specified

class of entities in which the entity is included, the entity is not required

to make an initial payment of tax in respect of that year of income.

 "(2) For the purposes of this section, the Commissioner may, by notice

published in the Gazette, determine an amount other than $1,000 to be the

minimum amount in relation to initial payments of tax payable by relevant

entities in respect of taxable income of a specified year of income and each

subsequent year of income.

 "(3) In this section:

 'otherwise required initial payment', in relation to a relevant entity in

respect of a year of income, means the amount that, but for this section,

would be payable by the entity (whether as a result of the giving of a notice

under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a) or otherwise) as an initial payment of tax in

respect of its taxable income of that year of income.

Election to make single payment

 "221AU. (1) Where the amount ascertained in relation to a relevant entity in

respect of a year of income to which this Division applies in accordance with

the formula 100 X otherwise required initial payment

 85

is not less than the amount applicable under paragraph 221AT (1) (a) or (b),

as the case may be, but is less than:

 

(a)

 in the case of the year of income ending on 30 June 1990 - $400,000;

or

 

(b)

 in the case of a subsequent year of income - $20,000; then, unless the

Commissioner otherwise determines in relation to the entity or a specified

class of entities in which the entity is included, the entity may, by written

notice given to the Commissioner, elect that this section is to apply to the

entity in respect of that year of income.

 "(2) Where an election is made by an entity under subsection (1) in respect

of a year of income (in this subsection called the 'relevant year of

income'):

 

(a)

  the entity is not required to make an initial payment of tax in respect

of its taxable income of the relevant year of income; and

 

(b)

  for the purposes of the application of this Division to the entity in

respect of the relevant year of income, the reference in section 221AZD to 15

March next following a year of income is, except in the case of an entity to

which section 221AN applies, to be taken to be a reference to 15 December next

following the relevant year of income.

 "(3) An election under subsection (1) is irrevocable.

 "(4) If a relevant entity makes an election under subsection (1) at a time

after the relevant entity made an initial payment of tax in respect of its

taxable income of the year of income to which the election relates, the

Commissioner must, as soon as practicable, refund to the entity the amount

paid. "(5) In this section:

 'otherwise required initial payment', in relation to a relevant entity in

respect of a year of income, means the amount that, but for this section,

would be payable by the entity (whether as a result of the giving of a notice

under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a) or otherwise) as an initial payment of tax in

respect of its taxable income of that year of income.

Power of Commissioner to reduce amount of initial payment or waive initial

payment

 "221AV. (1) The Commissioner may, having regard to the purpose for which

this Division was enacted and to particular circumstances that exist in

relation to a relevant entity, determine:

 

(a)

  that the amount that, but for this subsection, would be payable by the

entity as an initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of a year

of income is to be reduced by such amount as the Commissioner thinks

appropriate; or

 

(b)

  that the entity is not required to make an initial payment of tax in

respect of its taxable income of a year of income.

 "(2) The particular circumstances to which regard may be had under

 44. Section 290a of the Principal Act is amended by omitting "1 July 1989"

from paragraph (b) of the definition of "current 25 May balance" in subsection

(4) and substituting "1 September 1989".
