CAPITAL GAINS TAX

PART 1-AMENDMENTS RELATING TO DIVISION 19A OF PART IIIA

1. Subsection 160Z(5):

Omit "subsection 160ZZRE(3)", substitute "subsection 160ZZRDJ(3) or

(4), 160ZZRDM(2) or (5), or 160ZZRE(3)".

2. Before section 160ZZRA:

Insert in Division 19A:

"Subdivision A-Outline and interpretation

Outline of Division

"160ZZRAAA.(1)

This Division adjusts the cost bases of shares and loans in certain

cases where assets are transferred between companies under common

ownership and the transfer is likely to reduce the value of the share

or loan.

. There are detailed rules for the circumstances in which adjustments

are made and the amount of those adjustments.

. The rules that apply to most depreciable assets are different from

the rules that apply to transfers of other assets.

. Taxpayers are able to group certain assets before applying this

Division. In some cases, this will result in no adjustment being

required and in some other cases it will result in a lesser reduction

being required. Taxpayers may also choose to group certain assets for

administrative convenience.

"(2) The following chart shows the operative provisions that will

apply to particular assets:

(CHART OMITTED)

3. Section 160ZZRA (definition of indexed threshold amount):

Omit "section 160ZZRD", substitute "subsection 160ZZRE(1B).".

4. Section 160ZZRA:

Insert:

"original cost, of an asset to a taxpayer, means the consideration

for the last acquisition of the asset by the taxpayer.

written down value, for an asset of a taxpayer at a particular time,

means the greater of:

(a) the depreciated value of that asset at that time as recorded

in the books of the taxpayer; and

(b) the depreciated value of the asset, within the meaning of

section 62, at that time.".

5. After section 160ZZRB:

Insert:

Cost base etc. of certain assets

"160ZZRBA. For the purpose of this Division, the cost base, the

indexed cost base and the reduced cost base, at a particular time, of

an asset to which subsection 160M(6) applies are taken to be equal to

the market value of the asset at that time.

Meaning of indexed common ownership market value

"160ZZRBB.(1) The indexed common ownership market value of an asset

is worked out by multiplying the market value of the asset at the

common ownership time by the following indexation factor:

Index number for the CPI quarter in which the first asset disposal

time occurred

Index number for the CPI quarter in which the common ownership

time occurred

"(2) The indexation factor is to be worked out to 3 decimal places,

but increased by 0.001 if the 4th decimal place is 5 or more.

"(3) Calculations under subsection (1):

(a) are to be made using only the index numbers published in terms

of the most recently published reference base for the Consumer Price

Index; and

(b) are to disregard indexation numbers that are published in

substitution for previously published index numbers (except where the

substituted numbers are published to take account of changes in the

reference base).

"(4) In this section:

CPI quarter means a period of 3 months ending on 31 March, 30 June, 30

September or 31 December.

index number means the All Groups Consumer Price Index Number (being

the weighted average of the 8 capital cities) published by the

Australian Statistician.".

6. After section 160ZZRC:

Insert:

"Subdivision B-Application of Division".

7. Subsection 160ZZRD(2):

Omit the subsection.

8. After section 160ZZRD:

Insert:

How Division applies to grouped assets

"160ZZRDA.(1) Subdivision C sets out how this Division applies to

groups of assets and to assets that are in a group of assets.

"(2) Subdivision C applies Subdivisions D and E to the assets as a

group. Those Subdivisions do not have any other operation in relation

to an asset included in a group of assets.

How Division applies to depreciable assets

"160ZZRDB.(1) Subdivision D only applies to the disposal of the

first asset if:

(a) the asset is a depreciable asset; and

(b) the consideration for the disposal of the asset is less than the

written down value of the asset at the time of the disposal; and

the written down value of the asset at the time of the disposal; and

(d) the original cost of the asset to the transferor was less than

$1 million; and

(e) the asset is not a building.

Note 1: Written down value and original cost are defined in section

160ZZRA.

Note 2: Subdivision D also applies to some depreciable assets as part

of depreciable asset groups as a result of Subdivision C.

"(2) Subdivision E does not have any operation in relation to an

asset to which Subdivision D applies.

Application of Subdivision E

"160ZZRDC. Subdivision E applies in relation to assets that are

covered by this Division but not by Subdivision C or D.

Note: Subdivision E also applies to some assets as part of pre-common

ownership groups or post-common ownership groups as a result of

Subdivision C.

Application of Subdivision F

"160ZZRDD. Subdivision F only applies to the disposal of an asset if

Subdivision C, D or E applied in relation to that disposal.

"Subdivision C-Grouped assets

Transferor may elect to group assets

Reason for grouping

"160ZZRDE.(1) Grouping provides taxpayers with a simplified method

of applying this Division to 2 or more assets that are transferred

from the transferor to the transferee. It may also reduce the cases in

which adjustments have to be made to cost bases of shares or loans

under this Division and may reduce the amount of those adjustments.

The 3 kinds of groups

"(2) There are 3 kinds of groups:

(a) a depreciable property group (see section 160ZZRDF); and

(b) a pre-common ownership group (see section 160ZZRDG); and

The groups are mutually exclusive. An asset that could be included in

the depreciable property group can not be included in either of the

other groups.

"(3) The transferor may elect to allocate assets to which this

Division applies that are transferred to a transferee to groups of

assets. All of the assets in a group must be disposed of to the same

transferee in the same year of income of the transferor.

"(4) An election under subsection (3) must be made in writing on or

before the lodgment of the transferor's return for the year of income

in which the relevant disposals occurred. The Commissioner may allow

the election to be made at a later time.

Depreciable property groups

Assets that may be in depreciable property group

"160ZZRDF.(1) An asset can be allocated to a depreciable property

group if:

(a) the asset is a depreciable asset; and

(b) the asset is the first asset to be allocated to the group or is

disposed of to the transferee in the same year of income of the

transferor as the year in which other assets in the group are disposed

of; and

$1 million; and

(d) the asset is not a building.

How and when Subdivision D applies to depreciable property groups

"(2) Subdivision D applies in a way specified in subsection (3) to

all of the assets in a depreciable property group if:

(a) the sum of the consideration for the disposal of the assets in

the group is less than the sum of the written down values of the

assets in the group; and

(b) the sum of the market values of the assets in the group is not

more than 10% greater than the sum of the written down values of the

assets in the group.

The written down value and the market value of each asset is to be

worked out when that asset is disposed of by the transferor.

"(3) Subdivision D applies to all of the assets in a depreciable

property group as if all of the grouped assets were one asset that:

(a) was disposed of at the earliest first asset disposal time for

any asset in the group; and

(b) was disposed of for consideration equal to the sum of the

consideration for the disposal of each of the assets; and

values of each of the assets.

In calculating the sums of written down values, the written down value

of each asset at the first asset disposal time for that asset is to be

used.

Pre-common ownership groups

Assets that may be in pre-common ownership group

"160ZZRDG.(1) An asset can be allocated to a pre-common ownership

group if:

(a) the asset was acquired by the transferor before the time at

which the transferor and the transferee last came under common

ownership; and

(b) the asset is the first asset to be allocated to the group or is

disposed of to the transferee in the same year of income of the

transferor as the year in which that asset is disposed of; and

$1 million; and

(d) the asset is not land or a building.

How and when section 160ZZRF applies to pre-common ownership groups

"(2) Section 160ZZRF applies to all of the assets in a pre-common

ownership group in the way specified in subsection (3) if the sum of

the consideration for the disposal of the assets in the group is less

than the sum of the indexed common ownership market values of the

assets in the group.

"(3) Section 160ZZRF applies as if all of the grouped assets were

one asset that:

(a) was acquired on or after 20 September 1985; and

(b) was disposed of at the earliest first asset disposal time for

any asset in the group; and

consideration for the disposal of each of the assets; and

(d) had a market value at the common ownership time equal to the sum

of the market values of the assets at that time.

In applying section 160ZZRF to the grouped assets the matters in

subsection (6) of that section must be used to determine what amount

is reasonable.

Post-common ownership groups

Assets that may be in post-common ownership group

"160ZZRDH.(1) An asset can be allocated to a post-common ownership

group if:

(a) the asset was acquired by the transferor at or after the time at

which the transferor and the transferee last came under common

ownership; and

(b) the asset was last acquired by the transferor on or after 20

September 1985; and

disposed of to the transferee in the same year of income of the

transferor as the year in which the first asset is disposed of; and

(d) the original cost of the asset to the transferor was less than

$1 million; and

(e) the asset is not land or a building.

How and when section 160ZZRE applies to post-common ownership groups

"(2) Section 160ZZRE applies to all of the assets in a post-common

ownership group in the way specified in subsection (3) if the sum of

the consideration for the disposal of the assets in the group is less

than the sum of the indexed threshold amount of each asset in the

group. The indexed threshold amount of each asset is to be worked out

when that asset is disposed of by the transferor.

"(3) Section 160ZZRE applies as if all of the grouped assets were

one asset that:

(a) was acquired by the transferor on or after 20 September 1985;

and

(b) was disposed of at the earliest first asset disposal time for

any asset in the group; and

consideration for the disposal of each of the assets; and

(d) had an indexed threshold amount equal to the sum of the indexed

threshold amount for each of the assets; and

(e) had a reduced threshold amount equal to the sum of the reduced

threshold amounts for each of the assets.

In calculating the sums of reduced threshold amounts, or indexed

threshold amounts, the reduced threshold amount, or indexed threshold

amount, of each asset at the first asset disposal time for that asset

is to be used.

Shares or loans created after first asset in group is disposed of

"160ZZRDI.(1) This section applies if a share in the transferor, or

a loan to the transferor, comes into existence after the first time

(the adjustment time) in a year of income at which an asset in the

group is disposed of by the transferor but before the last time in the

year of income at which such an asset is actually disposed of.

"(2) This section does not apply to a share that is issued to

replace a share that is, or is to be, cancelled.

"(3) This Division applies as if:

(a) the share or loan had been in existence immediately before the

adjustment time; and

(b) the share or loan had all the same attributes at that time as it

had immediately after it came into existence.

"Subdivision D-Depreciable assets

Shares in, and loans to, transferor-depreciable assets-deemed disposal

"160ZZRDJ.(1) This section applies to each share in the transferor

acquired by a taxpayer (the second taxpayer) on or after 20 September

1985 that is held by the second taxpayer at the first asset disposal

time.

"(2) For each share to which this section applies, the second

taxpayer is taken to have disposed of the share at the first asset

disposal time for a consideration equal to the indexed cost base to

the second taxpayer of the share.

"(3) For the purpose of ascertaining whether a capital gain accrued

to the second taxpayer in the event of a subsequent disposal of the

share by the second taxpayer, the second taxpayer is taken to have

immediately re-acquired the share for a consideration equal to the

indexed cost base to the second taxpayer of the share, reduced by the

share reduction amount (see subsection (5)).

"(4) For the purpose of ascertaining whether the second taxpayer

incurred a capital loss in the event of a subsequent disposal of the

share by the second taxpayer, the second taxpayer is taken to have

immediately re-acquired the share for a consideration equal to the

reduced cost base to the second taxpayer of the share, reduced by the

share reduction amount (see subsection (5)).

"(5) The share reduction amount is worked out, immediately before

the first asset disposal time, using the formula:

Market value of share

Total of market values of all x Written down value

shares in transferor of the first asset

- Consideration for

disposal of first asset

"(6) If the second taxpayer or another taxpayer disposed of a share

(otherwise than because of the application of this section) within 12

months after the taxpayer acquired the share (otherwise than because

of the application of this section), subsections (2) and (3) have

effect as if the references to the indexed cost base to the taxpayer

in respect of the share were a reference to the cost base to the

taxpayer in respect of the share.

Shares of different classes

"160ZZRDK. If:

(a) at the first asset disposal time, a taxpayer (the second

taxpayer) held a share of a particular class in the transferor that

was acquired by the second taxpayer on or after 20 September 1985 (the

post-CGT share); and

(b) at the first asset disposal time, the second taxpayer or another

taxpayer held a share of another class in the transferor; and

be unreasonable;

then, that section does not apply to the post-CGT share and the cost

base, the indexed cost base or the reduced cost base of the post-CGT

share to the second taxpayer is instead reduced by such amount (if

any) as is reasonable having regard to:

(d) the circumstances in which the post-CGT share was acquired by

the second taxpayer; and

(e) the extent (if any) to which the market value of the post-CGT

share was reduced as a result of the disposal of the first asset at

the first asset disposal time.

Loans to transferor-depreciable assets

"160ZZRDL.(1) Section 160ZZRDM applies to a loan to the transferor

acquired by a taxpayer (the second taxpayer) if the 3 conditions below

are satisfied.

"(2) The first condition is that the loan was acquired by the second

taxpayer on or after 20 September 1985 and is held by the second

taxpayer at the first asset disposal time.

"(3) The second condition is that:

(a) the parties to the loan were not dealing with each other at

arm's length in relation to the loan; or

(b) the value of the loan was reduced as a result of the disposal of

the first asset.

"(4) The third condition is that:

(a) one or more shares in the transferor (the excess shares) are

taken, because of section 160ZZRDJ or 160ZZRDK, to have a cost base,

indexed cost base or reduced cost base of nil immediately after the

first asset disposal time; or

(b) at the first asset disposal time, there were no shares in the

transferor that were acquired (by the second taxpayer or otherwise) on

or after 20 September 1985.

Loans to transferor-depreciable assets-deemed disposal

"160ZZRDM.(1) If this section applies (see section 160ZZRDL), the

second taxpayer is taken to have disposed of the loan at the first

asset disposal time for a consideration equal to the indexed cost base

to the second taxpayer of the loan.

"(2) For the purpose of ascertaining whether a capital gain accrued

to the second taxpayer in the event of a subsequent disposal of the

loan by the second taxpayer, the second taxpayer is taken to have

immediately re-acquired the loan for a consideration equal to the

indexed cost base to the second taxpayer of the loan, reduced by the

reduction (capital gain) amount.

"(3) The reduction (capital gain) amount is worked out, immediately

before the first asset disposal time, using the formula:

Market value of loan x Total excess share

Total of market values of reduction (capital gain) amount

all loans to transferor

"(4) The total excess share reduction (capital gain) amount is:

(a) if paragraph 160ZZRDL(4)(a) applies-so much of the total share

reduction amounts for the excess shares as was not applied in making

reductions to the indexed cost bases of the excess shares in

accordance with subsection 160ZZRDJ(3) or section 160ZZRDK; or

(b) if paragraph 160ZZRDL(4)(b) applies-the amount worked out using

the formula:

Written down value of first asset - Consideration for

disposal of first asset

"(5) For the purpose of ascertaining whether a capital loss accrued

to the second taxpayer in the event of a subsequent disposal of the

loan by the second taxpayer, the second taxpayer is taken to have

immediately re-acquired the loan for a consideration equal to the

reduced cost base to the second taxpayer of the loan, reduced by the

reduction (capital loss) amount.

"(6) The reduction (capital loss) amount is worked out, immediately

before the first asset disposal time, using the formula:

Market value of loan x Total excess share reduction

Total of market values of (capital loss) amount

all loans to transferor

"(7) The total excess share reduction (capital loss) amount is:

(a) if paragraph 160ZZRDL(4)(a) applies-so much of the total share

reduction amounts for the excess shares as was not applied in making

reductions to the reduced cost bases of the excess shares in

accordance with subsection 160ZZRDJ(4) or section 160ZZRDK; or

(b) if paragraph 160ZZRDL(4)(b) applies and the written down value

of the first asset exceeds the consideration in respect of the

disposal of the first asset-the amount of the excess; or

"(8) If the second taxpayer or another taxpayer disposed of a loan

(otherwise than because of the application of this section) within 12

months after the taxpayer acquired the loan (otherwise than because of

the application of this section), subsections (1) and (2) have effect

as if the references to the indexed cost base to the taxpayer in

respect of the loan were a reference to the cost base to the taxpayer

in respect of the loan.

More than one loan

"160ZZRDN. If:

(a) at the first asset disposal time, a taxpayer (the second

taxpayer) held a loan to the transferor that was acquired by the

second taxpayer on or after 20 September 1985 (the post-CGT loan); and

(i) a share in the transferor that was acquired by that taxpayer

before 20 September 1985; or

(ii) another loan to the transferor; and

be unreasonable;

then, that section does not apply to the post-CGT loan and the cost

base, the indexed cost base or the reduced cost base of the post-CGT

loan to the second taxpayer is instead reduced by such amount (if any)

as is reasonable having regard to:

(d) the circumstances in which the post-CGT loan was acquired by the

second taxpayer; and

(e) the extent (if any) to which the market value of the post-CGT

loan was reduced as a result of the disposal of the first asset at the

first asset disposal time.

Liability to penalty for over-franking

(3) A company is taken to be liable to pay tax under subsection

160ARX(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in respect of its

arisen; and

(b) the later day must be before the end of the 1995-96 franking year of the

company.

(4) Any election or nomination under subitem (2):

(a) must be in writing; and

omitted from subsection (1) of that section; and

(b) dividends paid to a shareholder in a company during the

company's 1994-95 franking year as if subsection 160AQZA(3) of the

company's 1995-96 franking year or a later franking year.

(3) Subject to subitem (5), the amendments made by items 127 and 130

apply in relation to a trust amount or partnership amount received

during the first franking year of the company that commences after 6

purposes the acquisition cost of the shares is based on the lesser of:

(a) the embedded value or net tangible asset value of the company;

and

(b) the value of the company based on the total first trading day

price of all shares in the company.

Other tax consequences result from disposals of other interests and

from other events in connection with the demutualisation.

"Subdivision B-Key concepts and related definitions

mutual affiliate company other than by ceasing to be a company.

"(3) The demutualisation resolution day, in relation to the

demutualisation of a company, is:

Demutualisation method 7

(FLOW CHART OMITTED)

Embedded value of a mutual life insurance company

"121AM.(1) The embedded value of a mutual life insurance company

that demutualises using a demutualisation method is, in accordance

with this section, the sum of its existing business value and its

adjusted net worth on the applicable accounting day (see subsection

(3)).

Eligible actuary and Australian actuarial practice

"(2) The sum is to be worked out by an eligible actuary (see

subsection 121AO(3)) according to Australian actuarial practice.

Applicable accounting day

"(3) The applicable accounting day is:

(a) if an accounting period of the company ends on the

demutualisation resolution day-that day; or

(b) in any other case-the last day of the most recent accounting

period of the company ending before the demutualisation resolution

day.

Adjustment for changes after applicable accounting day

"(4) In a case covered by paragraph (3)(b), if any significant

change in the amount of the existing business value or adjusted net

worth occurs between the applicable accounting day and the

demutualisation resolution day, the amount is to be adjusted to take

account of the change.

Continued business assumption

"(5) In working out the existing business value or the adjusted net

worth, it is to be assumed:

(a) that after the applicable accounting day the company will

continue to conduct its life insurance business and any other activity

in the same way as it did before that day, and that it will not

conduct any different business or other activity; and

(b) that the demutualisation will not occur.

Discount rate assumption

"(6) In working out the existing business value or adjusted net

worth, the annual discount rate to be used in respect of each future

accounting period is worked out using the formula:

10 year Treasury bond rate + 4.5% + Capital reserve adequacy

shortfall percentage

where:

10 year Treasury bond rate means the Treasury bond rate (see

subsection 121AO(1)) for the applicable accounting day in respect of

bonds with a 10 year term.

Capital reserve adequacy shortfall percentage means:

(a) if, for any future accounting period, the capital reserves of

the company are projected to fall below the capital reserve adequacy

level (see subsection 121AO(2)) by 1% or more at both the beginning

and end of the accounting period-the percentage worked out by

averaging the percentages worked out under each of the following

subparagraphs:

(i) 0.2% for each 1% by which the capital reserves are projected

to fall below the level at the beginning of the period;

(ii) 0.2% for each 1% by which the capital reserves are projected

to fall below the level at the end of the period; or

(b) in any other case-nil.

Annual inflation rate assumption

"(7) In working out the existing business value, the annual

inflation rate to be applied is worked out using the formula:

10 year Treasury bond rate - 4%

(see subsection (6))

Expenditure assumption

"(8) In working out the existing business value, it is to be assumed

that expenditure that the company will incur, in conducting its life

insurance business, on recurring items after the demutualisation

resolution day will be of the same kinds and amounts (increased to

take account of any inflation, using the annual inflation rate in

subsection (7)) as the company incurred in the accounting period, or

part of an accounting period, ending on the demutualisation resolution

day.

Investment return assumption

"(9) In working out the existing business value or the adjusted net

worth, it is to be assumed that the annual rate of return on each

investment of the company is:

(a) if the investment is a security with a term less than 2 years or

is cash-the Treasury bond rate (see subsection 121AO(1)) for the

applicable accounting day in respect of bonds with a 26 week term; or

(b) if the investment is any other kind of security-the Treasury

bond rate for the applicable accounting day in respect of bonds with a

10 year term; or

Future distributable profits assumption

"(10) In working out the existing business value or the adjusted net

worth, the future distributable profits are to be determined on the

assumption that the company:

(a) will not distribute its profits so as to cause its capital

reserves to fall below the capital reserve adequacy level (see

subsection 121AO(2)) applicable to the company; and

(b) will distribute all of its profits except to the extent

necessary for its capital reserves not to fall below the capital

reserve adequacy level.

Net tangible asset value of a general insurance company or mutual

affiliate company

"121AN.(1) The net tangible asset value of a general insurance

company, or a mutual affiliate company, that demutualises using a

demutualisation method is, in accordance with this section:

(a) the amount of its assets on the applicable accounting day (see

subsection (4));

reduced by:

(b) the amount of its liabilities (including future liabilities)

arising from its business conducted before that day.

Australian accounting practice

"(2) The amount of the company's assets and liabilities (other than

future liabilities) is to be worked out according to Australian

accounting practice.

Eligible actuary and Australian actuarial practice

"(3) The amount of the company's future liabilities is to be worked

out by an eligible actuary (see subsection 121AO(3)) according to

Australian actuarial practice.

Applicable accounting day

"(4) The applicable accounting day is:

(a) if an accounting period of the company ends on the

demutualisation resolution day-that day; or

(b) in any other case-the last day of the most recent accounting

period of the company ending before the demutualisation resolution

day.

Adjustment for changes after applicable accounting day

"(5) In a case covered by paragraph (4)(b), if any significant

change in the amount of the company's assets or liabilities occurs

between the applicable accounting day and the demutualisation

resolution day, that amount is to be adjusted to take account of the

change.

Continued business assumption

"(6) In working out the net tangible asset value, it is to be

assumed:

(a) that after the applicable accounting day the company will

continue to conduct its business and any other activity in the same

way as it did before that day, and that it will not conduct any

different business or other activity; and

(b) that the demutualisation will not occur.

Treasury bond rate, capital reserve adequacy level, eligible actuary

and security

Treasury bond rate

"121AO.(1) The Treasury bond rate for the applicable accounting day

in respect of bonds with a particular term is:

(a) if any Treasury bonds with that term were issued on the

applicable accounting day-the annual yield on those bonds; or

(b) in any other case-the annual yield on Treasury bonds with that

term, as published by the Reserve Bank of Australia and applicable to

the accounting day.

Capital reserve adequacy level

"(2) The capital reserve adequacy level for a life insurance company

that demutualises is:

(a) if, after 1 July 1995 and before the applicable accounting day

mentioned in subsection 121AM(3) or 121AN(4), the Life Insurance

Actuarial Standards Board established under the Life Insurance Act

1995 issued a capital reserve adequacy standard applicable to the

company-the level of capital reserves required by that standard; or

(b) in any other case-the level of capital reserves required to

provide adequate capital for the conduct of the life insurance

business and other activities of the company.

Eligible actuary

"(3) An eligible actuary is a Fellow or Accredited Member of the

Institute of Actuaries of Australia who is not an employee of:

(a) the mutual insurance company or, where demutualisation method 7

applies, the mutual insurance company or the mutual affiliate company;

(b) a subsidiary of that company or, where demutualisation method 7

applies, of either company.

Security

"(4) A security is:

(a) an entity has incurred expenditure of a capital nature

wholly or partly in respect of the establishment of a horticultural

plant in Australia for use in a business of horticulture; and

(b) the expenditure was incurred on or after 10 May 1995;

so much of the amount of the expenditure as is attributable to the

establishment of the plant is taken to be an amount of establishment

Exclusion of drainage and land-clearance costs

"(2) A reference in this section to capital expenditure in respect

of the establishment of a horticultural plant does not include a

which a deduction is allowable in respect of that expenditure under a

provision of this Act other than section 124ZZF or 124ZZG.

Exclusion of depreciable costs

respect of the establishment of a horticultural plant to the extent to

which the expenditure is qualifying expenditure within the meaning of

Division 10D (which deals with buildings and structural improvements).

"Subdivision E-Effective lives of plants

What is the effective life of a plant?

"124ZZK.(1) For the purposes of this Division, the effective life of

a plant depends on whether the original taxpayer elects to adopt the

period specified in the Commissioner's determination under section

124ZZL. For this purpose, an entity is the original taxpayer in

relation to a plant if the entity owned the plant at the time when the

plant first became capable of being used:

(a) for the purpose of producing assessable income; and

(b) in a business of horticulture.

Note: Under section 124ZZL, the Commissioner may make a determination

specifying periods that taxpayers may elect to adopt as the effective

lives of horticultural plants owned by them.

Original taxpayer may elect to adopt the period specified in the

Commissioner's determination

"(2) If:

(a) there is in force a determination by the Commissioner under

section 124ZZL which specifies a period that a taxpayer may elect to

adopt as the effective life of the plant; and

(b) the original taxpayer makes a written election to adopt that

period;

the effective life of the plant is that period.

Effective life if original taxpayer does not elect to adopt the period

specified in the Commissioner's determination

"(3) If the original taxpayer does not elect to adopt the period

specified in the Commissioner's determination, the effective life of

the plant is the period, worked out as at the time when the plant

first became capable of being used:

(a) for the purpose of producing assessable income; and

(b) in a business of horticulture;

during which it would be reasonable to expect that the plant would be

capable of being used:

(d) in a business of horticulture.

Election is irrevocable

"(4) An election under this section is irrevocable.

Commissioner may make determination specifying effective lives of

plants

Commissioner's determination

"124ZZL.(1) The Commissioner may, by writing:

(a) make a determination specifying periods that taxpayers may elect

to adopt as the effective lives of horticultural plants owned by them;

and

(b) revoke or vary such a determination.

Period may be specified unconditionally

"(2) A period may be specified unconditionally.

Specification of period may be conditional

"(3) A period, or 2 or more different periods, may be specified in

relation to particular kinds of plants subject to one or more

specified conditions being satisfied as at the time when the plant

first became capable of being used:

(a) for the purpose of producing assessable income; and

(b) in a business of horticulture.

Determination to be available for sale to the public

"(4) A determination, or a variation or a revocation of a

determination, must be made available for sale to the public.

(b) in a business of horticulture;

before the determination, variation or revocation, as the case may be,

was made if, and only if:

determination-the specified period is the first period applicable to

plants of that kind; or

(d) in any case-the retrospectivity works to the advantage of

taxpayers in calculating the effective lives of plants of that kind.

"Subdivision F-Special deduction for destruction of plants

Special deduction for destruction of plants

"124ZZM.(1) This section applies if:

(a) there is an amount of establishment expenditure for a

horticultural plant; and

assessable income; and

(d) the number of years in the effective life of the plant is 3 or

more.

Note: Effective life is defined by section 124ZZK.

Deduction if taxpayer receives an amount in respect of the destruction

"(2) If:

(a) an amount (the recoverable amount) was or is received or

receivable by the taxpayer (under a policy of insurance or otherwise)

in respect of the destruction; and

(b) the amount worked out using the formula set out in subsection

(4) exceeds the recoverable amount;

the excess is allowable as a deduction to the taxpayer for the year of

income.

Deduction if taxpayer does not receive an amount in respect of the

year of income.

Formula

"(4) The formula mentioned in subsections (2) and (3) is:

Establishment expenditure - Notional deductions

where:

deductions, that would have been allowable to the taxpayer under

section 124ZZG for the establishment expenditure if it were assumed

that, at all times during the period:

(a) beginning when the plant first became capable of being used:

(i) for the purpose of producing assessable income; and

(ii) in a business of horticulture; and

(b) ending when the plant was destroyed;

Dissection of amounts

"(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), if a person receives, or

unspecified extent a recoupment of, or a grant in respect of,

expenditure, then so much of that amount as is reasonable is taken to

be a recoupment of, or grant in respect of, that expenditure, as the

case requires.
