TAXATION LAWS AMENDMENT ACT (No. 5) 1992 No. 224 of 1992

- SECT 5

5. Before section 160A of the Principal Act the following Subdivision and

heading are inserted:

"Subdivision A - Object, simplified outline, example and index

Object

"160AX. The object of this Part is to provide for net capital gains to be

included in assessable income (see section 160ZO).

Simplified outline of scheme of Part

(Simplified outline)

"160AY.(1) The following is a simplified outline of the scheme of this Part.

(Step 1 - disposal of an asset)

"(2) This Part applies if a taxpayer disposes of an asset. For a basic

definition of 'asset', see section 160A. The taxpayer must have acquired the

asset on or after 20 September 1985 and the disposal of the asset must occur

on or after that date (see section 160L). 160M is the basic provision

defining 'disposal' and 'acquisition'. The timing of disposal and acquisition

is dealt with by section 160U. There are various exemptions, including the

principal residence exemption (see the Exemptions Sub Index in section

160AZA). There are also various provisions giving roll-over relief on the

disposal of assets (see the Roll-overs Sub Index in section 160AZA).

(Step 2 - disposal of asset may result in a capital gain or a capital loss)

"(3) The disposal of the asset may result in a capital gain or capital loss

(see section 160Z).

Capital gain - asset owned for 12 months or more

Consideration Indexed cost

in respect of - base of = Capital gain

disposal asset

Capital gain - asset owned for less than 12 months

Consideration Cost

in respect of - base of = Capital gain

disposal asset

Capital loss

Reduced cost Consideraton

base of - in respect of = Capital loss

asset disposal

For a basic definition of 'consideration in respect of a disposal of an

asset', see section 160ZD. For basic definitions of 'cost base', 'indexed

cost base' and 'reduced cost base', see section 160ZH. The basic idea is that

the cost base of an asset consists of the cost of acquiring the asset and

certain other costs, the indexed cost base is the cost base indexed for

inflation (see section 160ZJ) and the reduced cost base is the cost base

adjusted to take account of certain capital deductions and balancing charges

(see section 160ZK).

(Step 3 - calculation of net capital gain)

"(4) Capital gains and capital losses are netted under section 160ZC to work

out the net capital gain.

Example:

Capital gains Capital losses

accrued during - incurred during = Net capital gain

year year

(Step 4 - net capital gain to be included in assessable income under section

160ZO)

"(5) The amount of the net capital gain is included in the taxpayer's

assessable income under section 160ZO.

Example of how this Part works

(Typical example)

"160AZ.(1) This section sets out an example of how this Part will work in a

typical case involving the acquisition and disposal of an asset by a taxpayer.

The taxpayer acquired the asset on 29 September 1985 for a cost of $100,000

and disposed of the asset on 29 September 1991 for $300,000. The cost base is

$100,000. The indexed cost base is calculated as follows:

215.7 (index number for

$149,600 $100,000 September 1991 quarter)

(indexed = (cost X _____________________________

cost base) base)

144.2 (index number for

September 1985 quarter)

(The fraction on the right is rounded up to 1.496.)

(Capital gain on disposal)

"(2) There is a capital gain on disposal of the asset.

Consideration

in respect of Indexed cost

disposal - base of asset = Capital gain

$300,000 $149,600 $150,400

(Calculation of net capital gain)

"(3) Assuming that the taxpayer has no capital losses, the net capital gain

is $150,400.

(Inclusion of net capital gain in assessable income under section 160ZO)

"(4) The taxpayer's assessable income includes $150,400.
