Chapter 2 - Collection, recovery and administration of income taxNote: A Commissioner ' s Remedial Power (CRP 2017/1) is relevant to this part of the tax law. Taxation Administration (Remedial Power - Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding) Determination 2017 (F2017L00992) modifies the operation of s 18-15 , 18-20 and 18-25 in Sch 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 as follows:
To the extent that an entity ' s entitlement to a credit referred to in s 18-15 , 18-20 or 18-25 in Sch 1 to TAA is in respect of an amount paid to the Commissioner under Subdiv 14-D of Sch 1 to TAA, treat the entitlement as arising in the income year in which the transaction causing that application of Subdiv 14-D is recognised for income tax purposes for the entity. The modification applies in respect of transactions entered into on or after 1 July 2016.
An entity must treat a modification as not applying to it or any other entity if the modification would produce a less favourable result for it. The Commissioner is empowered by s 370-5 of Sch 1 to TAA to make modifications, by legislative instrument, to ensure the law is administered to achieve its intended purpose or object.
An entity is entitled to a credit if:
(a) the entity ' s *ordinary income, or *statutory income, includes any of the following:
(i) a *dividend (or a part of it), interest (within the meaning of Division 11A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ) or a *royalty;
(ii) an amount that is represented by or reasonably attributable to an *AMIT DIR payment; and
(b) if subparagraph (a)(i) applies - if the entity has borne all or part of an *amount withheld from the dividend, interest or royalty; and
(c) if subparagraph (a)(ii) applies - if the entity has borne all or part of an amount paid under Division 12A in respect of the AMIT DIR payment.
The amount of the credit is that amount or part.
Note:
A taxpayer may also be entitled to a credit in relation to payment of interest under, or in relation to the transfer of, a qualifying security. See section 128NBA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 .
