Treatment of head company's franking account

SECTION 709-75   Debits arising in head company's franking account  

709-75(1)    
This section operates if a debit would arise in the ^* franking account of a ^* subsidiary member of a ^* consolidated group at a time (the debiting time ) apart from section 709-65 .

709-75(2)    
A debit arises in the ^* franking account of the ^* head company of the group at the debiting time.

Note:

A debit can also arise in the head company's franking account at any time under section 205-30 .

709-75(3)    
The amount of the debit is the same as the amount of the debit that would arise in the ^* franking account of the ^* subsidiary member.

709-75(4)    
This section does not apply to a debit arising in the ^* subsidiary member's ^* franking account under paragraph 709-60(2)(a) .

Note:

Such a debit arises if the entity that became the subsidiary member had a surplus in its franking account just before the time it became the subsidiary member. The debit equals the surplus, creating a nil balance in the account from that time.
