depreciating asset of an eligible company; and

73BF(2) Increase in deduction or assessable amount where section 73BA deductions allowable at 1.25 rate.
However, if at least one of the deductions mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) was worked out by multiplying a notional Division 40 deduction or a notional Division 42 deduction by 1.25 (or would have been so worked out had section 73BAF not been enacted), subsection (3) applies.
S 73BF(2) amended by No 16 of 2003.
73BF(3)
Any amount (the subsection (1) amount ) allowable as a deduction to, or included in the assessable income of, the eligible company under subsection (1) of this section for the section 73BA depreciating asset is increased by the amount worked out using the formula:
| Sum of all 1.25 rate notional
Division 40/42 deductions Total decline in value |
× Adjusted subsection (1) amount × 0.25 |
where:
adjusted subsection (1) amount
means:
(a) if the subsection (1) amount is a deduction - the amount of the deduction; or
(b) if the subsection (1) amount is an amount included in the eligible company ' s assessable income - so much of the subsection (1) amount as does not exceed the formula component total decline in value .
sum of all 1.25 rate notional Division 40/42 deductions
means the sum of all notional Division 40 deductions or notional Division 42 deductions that were multiplied by 1.25 in working out the deductions mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) for the section
73BA
depreciating asset.
total decline in value
means the cost of the section
73BA
depreciating asset, less its adjustable value, just before the balancing adjustment event, where that cost and adjustable value are the amounts taken into account in applying Subdivision
40-D
of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
in accordance with paragraph (1)(d) for the purpose of working out the subsection (1) amount.

(ii) in the case of a company whose income was exempt from tax when the expenditure was incurred - a deduction under section 73BA or 73BH would have been allowable if the company ' s income had not been so exempt from tax; and
