Steps 2 and 3: Calculate the safe harbour debt amount

To check if you meet the requirements under the rules if you're an outward investing financial entity (non-ADI).

Last updated 11 October 2023

The safe harbour debt amount for a financial entity is the lesser of the following two amounts:

  • the total debt amount – see step 2
  • the adjusted on-lent amount – see step 3.

Both of these amounts must be calculated. The adjusted on-lent amount contains a concession in respect of the entity's on-lending business. It applies a 1.5:1 ratio to the part of the entity's business that does not constitute on-lending and then increases this amount by the value of the entity's on-lending business. However, the safe harbour debt amount is capped at 15:1 by the total debt amount, which applies a ratio of 15:1 to the entity's total business. The total debt amount contains a further concession for certain assets called zero-capital amounts. These amounts can be wholly funded by debt capital.

Table 17: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2, Table 19: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3, Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 and Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3 explain how to work out the total debt amount and adjusted on-lent amount. If the entity has any associate entities, you also need to work through:

  • Table 18: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A and Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A – total debt amount
  • Table 20: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A and Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A – adjusted on-lent amount.

Step 2.1: Calculate the average value, for the income year, of all the entity's assets

Insert this amount at F on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

The first step is to work out the average value of the entity's assets

Step 2.2: Calculate the average value, for that year, of the entity's excluded equity interests

Insert this amount at XX on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

Certain, short-term equity interests reduce the safe harbour debt amount for integrity reasons

See excluded equity interests

Step 2.3: Transfer the amount from B on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 to B on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

This is the average associate entity debt and is the same amount calculated at B on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 (step 1.2) and can be transferred directly from there. Associate entity debt is a loan asset of the lender, representing, broadly, the debt interests issued to the lender by the associate entity

Step 2.4: Calculate the average value, for that year, of all the entity's associate entity equity.

Insert this amount at G on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

Broadly, associate entity equity is the sum of the equity invested in, and interest-free loans granted to, associate entities. Associate entity equity is an asset of the investing entity.

Step 2.5: Transfer the amount from C on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 to C on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

This is the average value of debt lent to controlled foreign entities for which the outward investor is an Australian controller. It is the same amount calculated at C on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 (step 1.3) and can be transferred directly from there. Controlled foreign entity debt is an asset of the lender, representing the debt interests issued to the lender by the controlled foreign entity

Step 2.6: Calculate the average value, for that year, of all the entity's controlled foreign entity equity

Insert this amount at H on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

This is the average value of the equity invested in controlled foreign entities for which the outward investor is an Australian controller. Controlled foreign entity equity is an asset of the investing entity

Step 2.7: Calculate the average value, for that year, of all the entity's non-debt liabilities

Insert this amount at J on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

 

Step 2.8: Calculate the average value of the entity's zero-capital amount.

Insert this amount at ZC on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

 

Step 2.9: Calculate the net Australian assets funded by debt and equity. This is the result of FXXBGCHJZC

Insert the result at K on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

This step reduces total assets (F) by the amounts worked out in steps 2.2 to 2.8

The amount at K represents the net Australian assets that are funded by debt and equity

Step 2.10: Multiply the amount at K by 15/16

Insert the result at L on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

Multiplying the amount at K (net assets) by 15/16 reflects the debt to equity ratio of 15:1

Step 2.11: Transfer the average value of the entity's zero-capital amount from step 2.7

Insert this amount at ZC on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

The zero-capital amount was taken out at step 2.8 and is now added back on so that the total debt amount is increased by the average value of the zero-capital amount

Step 2.12: If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors, insert 0 (zero) at M on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2. Otherwise, calculate the entity's average associate entity excess amount – see Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

Transfer the amount at M on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A to M on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

The average associate entity excess amount is, broadly, the excess borrowing capacity of any associate entities that are either non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors. It also recognises any premium paid for the investment in an associate entity. This is worked out in Table 18: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A and Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A at M

If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or inward investors, the average associate entity excess amount is zero

Step 2.13: Calculate the entity's total debt amount by adding the amounts at L, ZC and M

Calculating M: The average associate entity excess amount for the total debt amount

Table 18: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A and Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A set out how to calculate the amount at M in Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 – the average associate entity excess amount. If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors, do not complete this step and show zero at M on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2.

The associate entity excess amount is the sum of two amounts:

Associate entity excess amount

The associate entity excess amount is the total of the premium excess and the attributable safe harbour excess amounts. The associate entity excess amount is calculated on each of the investing entity's measurement days for each associate entity. For example, if the investing entity uses the opening and closing measurement days method, it must calculate its associate entity excess amount on the opening day and closing day in the year. The positive amounts are added together and divided by the number of measurement days to calculate the average associate entity excess amount. Negative amounts are disregarded because a negative associate entity excess amount for one associate entity does not reduce a positive associate entity excess amount for another associate entity.

Remember:

  • Ignore any amounts attributable to any of the overseas permanent establishments of the entity or its associate entities.
  • An Australian entity will always be an outward investor if it is an associate entity of an outward investor.

Step 2A explanation: Calculate the associate entity excess amount for the total debt amount

If the entity has more than one associate entity, repeat steps 2A.1 to 2A.12 for each associate entity on each of the investing entity's measurement days. The associate entity must be a non-ADI subject to the thin capitalisation rules.

Table 18: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

Steps

Comments

Step 2A.1: Calculate, on a particular measurement day, the value of the entity's associate entity equity attributable to the associate entity, excluding the value of any debt interests issued to the investing entity by the associate entity

Insert this amount at N on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This is the value, on a measurement day, of the equity the entity has invested in its associate entity

This excludes any debt interest that may be included in associate entity equity

Step 2A.2: Calculate, on the measurement day, the value of the associate entity's equity capital attributable to the equity interests the investing entity holds in the associate entity, excluding the value of equity interests held by the investing entity that are controlled foreign entity equity for the investing entity

Insert this amount at P on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This is the value, on a measurement day, of the associate entity's equity capital attributable to the equity interests the investing entity holds in the associate entity

This excludes the value that represents controlled foreign entity equity for the investing entity

This is measured by the associate entity in accordance with the accounting standards

Step 2A.3: Calculate the premium excess amount by deducting the amount at P from the amount at N and multiplying the result by 15/16

Insert the result at Q on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

 

Step 2A.4: Calculate the associate entity's safe harbour debt amount on the measurement day as if the period consisted of one day only

Insert this amount at R on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

The safe harbour debt amount must be calculated for the associate entity on a measurement day

If the associate entity is an:

  • outward investor, complete step 2 in 'Non-ADI financial outward investor' for the associate entity
  • an inward investor, complete step 2 in 'Non-ADI financial inward investor' for the associate entity
 

Step 2A.5: Calculate, on the measurement day, the value of the associate entity's adjusted average debt as if the period consisted of one day only

Insert this amount at S on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

You must also work out the associate entity's adjusted average debt on a measurement day

Step 2A.6: Deduct the amount at S from the amount at R

Insert the result at T on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

Taking the adjusted average debt (S) away from the safe harbour debt amount (R) gives the associate entity's excess borrowing capacity on a measurement day

If the associate entity has exceeded its safe harbour debt amount, this amount will be negative and is treated as zero

Step 2A.7: Calculate, on that measurement day, the sum of all of the following:

  • the value of the associate entity's equity capital attributable to the investing entity
  • the value of the debt interests issued to the investing entity by the associate entity that 
    • are on issue
    • no part of which forms part of the associate entity's cost-free debt capital
    • do not give rise to costs covered by paragraph 820-40(1)(a)  
     
  • the value of the debt interests issued to the investing entity by the associate entity that 
    • are on issue
    • give rise to costs covered by paragraph 820-40(1)(a) but those costs are not deductible from the associate entity's assessable income in any income year
     

Insert the result at U on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This works out the value of the associate entity's equity capital (including certain debt interests) attributable to the investing entity on a measurement day

Step 2A.8: Calculate, on the measurement day, the sum of all of the following:

  • the value of all the associate entity's equity capital
  • the value of all the debt interests issued by the associate entity that
    • are on issue
    • no part of which forms part of the associate entity's cost-free debt capital
    • do not give rise to costs covered by paragraph 820-40(1)(a)  
     
  • the value of all the debt interests issued by the associate entity that
    • are on issue
    • give rise to costs covered by paragraph 820-40(1)(a) but those costs are not deductible from the associate entity's assessable income in any income year
     

Insert the result at V on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This works out the value of the associate entity's total equity capital (including certain debt interests) on a measurement day

Step 2A.9: Divide the amount at U by the amount at V. Insert the result at W on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This works out the proportion of the associate entity's equity capital attributable to the investing entity on a measurement day

Step 2A.10: Calculate the entity's attributable safe harbour excess amount by multiplying the amount at T – the associate entity's excess capacity – by the amount at W – the proportion of equity capital attributable to the investing entity

Insert the result at X on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This applies the proportion worked out in step 2A.9 to the associate entity's excess borrowing capacity to work out the amount of that excess capacity that can be attributed to the investing entity

Step 2A.11: Add the amounts at Q – premium excess amount – and X – attributable safe harbour excess amount

Insert the result at Y on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

This is the associate entity excess amount for a single associate entity on a measurement day of the investing entity

Step 2A.12: If the entity has only one associate entity, transfer any positive amount at Y to Z on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A. Otherwise, repeat steps 2A.1 to 2A.11 for each associate entity

Then add all positive results at Y and insert at Z on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A

The associate entity excess amount must be worked out for each associate entity on a measurement day

Add all the positive associate entity excess amounts together to get the total associate entity excess amount on any particular measurement day

If the entity has only one associate entity, the amount at Z will be the same as the amount at Y, provided Y is positive

If Y is negative, it is disregarded

Step 2A.13: Calculate Z (the total associate entity excess amount – steps 2A.1 to 2A.12) on each other measurement day

The associate entity excess amount for all associate entities is calculated on each of the investing entity's measurement days

Step 2A.14: Calculate the entity's average associate entity excess amount by adding the results at Z for each measurement day and divide by the number of measurement days

Insert the result at M on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

The results are added together and divided by the number of measurement days to get the average associate entity excess amount

Step 3.1: Transfer the amount from F on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 to F on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of assets. This amount has already been worked out at F on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 (step 2.1) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3.2: Transfer the amount from XX on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 to XX on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of the entity's excluded equity interests. This amount has already been worked out at XX on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 (step 2.2) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3.3: Transfer the amount from G on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 to G on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of associate entity equity. This amount has already been worked out at G on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 (step 2.4) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3.4: Transfer the amount from C on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 to C on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of controlled foreign entity debt. This amount has already been worked out at C on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1(step 1.3 ) and can be transferred directly from there. This is also the same amount at C on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

Step 3.5: Transfer the amount from H on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 to H on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of controlled foreign entity equity. This amount has already been worked out at H on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 (step 2.6) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3.6: Transfer the amount from J on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 to J on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of non-debt liabilities. This amount has already been worked out at J on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2 (step 2.7) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3.7: Calculate the average value of the entity's on-lent amount, excluding controlled foreign entity debt

Insert the amount at OA on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This reduces Australian assets by the value of the entity's on-lending business

Step 3.8: Calculate net Australian non-lending assets funded by debt and equity. This is the result of FXXGCHJOA

Insert the result at AA on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

The amount at AA represents the net Australian non-lending assets funded by debt and equity

Step 3.9: Multiply the amount at AA by 3/5.

Insert the result at BB on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

Multiplying the amount at AA by 3/5 reflects the debt to equity ratio of 1.5:1 applied to non-lending business

Step 3.10: Transfer the average value of the entity's on-lent amount from step 3.7

Insert the amount at OA on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the same amount calculated in step 3.7. This adds back the on-lent amount

Step 3.11: Transfer the amount from B on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 to B on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

This is the average value of associate entity debt. This amount has already been worked out at B on Worksheet 8: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 1 (step 1.2) and can be transferred directly from there. This is also the same amount at B on Worksheet 9: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2

Step 3.12: If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or inward investors, insert 0 (zero) at CC on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3. Otherwise, calculate the entity's average associate entity excess amount – see Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

Transfer the amount at CC on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A to CC on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3

The associate entity excess amount is, broadly, the excess borrowing capacity of any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors. It also recognises any premium paid for the investment in an associate entity. This amount is worked out in Table 20: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A and Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A at CC

If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors, the average associate entity excess amount is zero

Step 3.13: Calculate the entity's adjusted on-lent amount

This is the result of BB + OAB + CC

The entity's safe harbour debt amount is the lesser of the total debt amount (step 2) and the adjusted on-lent amount.

If the entity's adjusted average debt is equal to or less than the safe harbour debt amount, the entity is not disallowed any debt deductions under the thin capitalisation rules. You do not have to complete any further calculations.

However, if the adjusted average debt is more than the safe harbour debt amount, you can choose to calculate the entity's worldwide gearing debt amount under step 4 (unless the entity is foreign controlled) or the arm's length debt amount under step 5. If you do not want to calculate a worldwide gearing debt amount or an arm' length debt amount, you can use your safe harbour debt amount as your maximum allowable debt and debt deductions will be disallowed on this basis – see step 6.

Calculating CC: The average associate entity excess amount for the adjusted on-lent amount

Table 20: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A and Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A set out how to calculate the amount at CC of Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3 – the associate entity excess amount. If the entity does not have any associate entities that are non-ADI outward investors or non-ADI inward investors, do not complete this step and show nil at CC on Worksheet 11: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3.

Step 3.12 is the equivalent of step 2.12 in the total debt amount calculation. The only difference is in the premium excess amount calculation. The premium excess amount is worked out by applying the gearing ratio of 1.5:1 to the premium excess rather than the gearing ratio of 15:1. The attributable safe harbour excess amount will be exactly the same and can be transferred directly from Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A.

Remember:

  • Ignore any amounts attributable to any of the entity's overseas permanent establishments
  • An Australian entity will always be an outward investor if it is an associate entity of an outward investor.

Explanation: Calculate the average associate entity excess amount for the adjusted on-lent amount

If the entity has more than one associate entity, repeat steps 3A.1 to 3A.6 for each associate entity on each of the investing entity's measurement days. The associate entity must be a non-ADI entity subject to the thin capitalisation rules.

Comments

Step 3A.1: Transfer the amount at N on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A to N on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

This is the value, on a particular measurement day, of the associate entity equity attributable to the associate entity, excluding debt interests

This amount has already been worked out at N on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A (step 2A.1) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3A.2: Transfer the amount at P on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A to P on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

This is the value, on a particular measurement day, of the associate entity's equity capital attributable to the equity interests the investing entity holds in the associate entity, excluding the value that represents controlled foreign entity equity of the investing entity

This amount has already been worked out at P on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A (step 2A.2) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3A.3: Calculate the premium excess amount by deducting the amount at P from the amount at N and multiplying the result by 3/5

Insert this result at DD on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

 

Step 3A.4: Transfer the amount at X on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A to X on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

This is the attributable safe harbour excess amount on a particular measurement day

This amount has already been worked out at X on Worksheet 10: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 2A (step 2A.10) and can be transferred directly from there

Step 3A.5: Calculate the entity's associate entity excess amount by adding the amounts at DD – premium excess amount – and X – attributable safe harbour excess amount

Insert the result at EE on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

This is the associate entity excess amount for a single associate entity on a measurement day of the investing entity

Step 3A.6: If the entity has only one associate entity, transfer any positive amount at EE to FF on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

Otherwise, repeat steps 3A.1 to 3A.5 for each associate entity

Then add all positive results at EE and insert at FF on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

The associate entity excess amount must be worked out for each associate entity on a measurement day

All the positive associate entity excess amounts are added together to get the total associate entity excess amount on any particular measurement day

If the entity has only one associate entity, the amount at FF will be the same as the amount at EE, provided EE is positive

If EE is negative, it is disregarded

Step 3A.7: Calculate FF (the total associate entity excess amount – steps 3A.5 to 3A.6) on each other measurement day

The associate entity excess amount is calculated on each of the investing entity's measurement days

Step 3A.8: Calculate the entity's average associate entity excess amount by adding the results at FF for each measurement day and divide by the number of measurement days

Insert the result at CC on Worksheet 12: Non-ADI financial outward investor's step 3A

The results are added together and divided by the number of measurement days to get the average associate entity excess amount
