The six steps a non-ADI financial outward investor takes to calculate if they have met the thin capitalisation rules are:
- Step 1: Calculate the adjusted average debt
- Steps 2 and 3: Calculate the safe harbour debt amount
- Step 4: Calculate the worldwide gearing debt amount
- Step 5: Calculate the arm's length debt amount
- Step 6: Calculate the debt deductions disallowed.
A financial entity that elects to use the thin capitalisation rules that apply to ADI entities will need to refer to ADI outward investing entity. For more information, see Electing to use the ADI rules.
