Preamble

Draft Taxation Determinations (TDs) present the preliminary, though considered, views of the ATO. Draft TDs may not be relied on; only final TDs are authoritative statements of the ATO.

1. Yes. The entitlement to the rebate is not affected by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) paying the interest after the merger with the State Bank of Victoria (SBV).

2. The interest included in taxable income qualifies for the rebate under section 160AB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 because it is derived from Deposit Stock which was issued by SBV before 1 November 1968. There is no requirement under the section for the interest to be actually paid by SBV.
