You need to know
Generally, government credits, grants, rebates, bounties and subsidies are assessable income in the hands of the recipient if they are received in, or in relation to, the carrying on of a business. This generally includes amounts of a capital nature. However, amounts relating to the commencement or cessation of a business may not be assessable income but may give rise to a capital gain.
Examples of assessable government industry assistance are:
- bounties
- drought relief
- employee subsidies
- export incentive grants
- fuel grant under the energy grants credits scheme
- fuel tax credits
- industry restructuring and adjustment payments
- producer rebate (wine equalisation tax)
- product stewardship (oil) benefit.
For more information, see Taxation Ruling TR 2006/3: Income tax: government payments to industry to assist entities (including individuals) to continue, commence or cease business.
