Schedule 5 Method of working out total eligible TCF value added by an entity for special advances of grants for incomplete program years

(subsection 86M (9))

 1. Eligible TCF value added must be worked out on the basis of normal commercial values and arms length transactions.

 2. Total eligible TCF value added by an entity in respect of the entity’s eligible TCF activities for an incomplete program year is worked out using the following formula:

Total eligible TCF value added = turnover plus change in stock minus (purchases plus transfers-in plus selected expenses)

where:

turnover is the sum of:

 (a) revenue (exclusive of any GST, excise and sales tax) from:

 (i) sales, except sales to New Zealand, of the entity’s eligible TCF products; or

 (ii) if the entity is carrying on an eligible TCF activity of a kind mentioned in item 4 of Part A, or in Part B or C, of Schedule 1 on a fee or commission basis — fees and commissions earned by the entity for that activity; and
