Guide to Subdivision 842-I
SECTION 842-200 What this Subdivision is about
Operative provisionsThis Subdivision includes rules about the taxation of certain foreign funds with investment income or losses which are treated as being attributable to a permanent establishment in Australia solely because the fund retains the services of an Australian based agent, manager or service provider.
Where the conditions in this Subdivision are satisfied:
• returns or gains relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR income) are non-assessable non-exempt income or disregarded; and • deductions and losses relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR deductions) are disregarded; and • capital gains relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR capital gains) are disregarded; and • capital losses relating to financial arrangements (known as IMR capital losses) are disregarded. These amounts are also disregarded if a foreign resident beneficiary of a trust, or a foreign resident partner in a partnership, receives them (or amounts attributable to them) through one or more interposed trusts or partnerships.

Applying subsection 115-220(2)
842-225(2)
For the purposes of applying subsection 115-220(2) to the beneficiary:
(a) disregard a * capital gain of the * IMR foreign fund to the extent the capital gain is an * IMR capital gain ; and
(b) disregard an * IMR capital loss of the IMR foreign fund for the purposes of determining the amount of the capital gain remaining after applying steps 1 to 4 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) ; and

The effect of this subsection is that the increase to the assessable amount which occurs as a result of section 115-220 is calculated with reference to the capital gains of the IMR foreign fund that are not IMR capital gains or amounts referable to IMR capital gains (rather than by calculating the increase with reference to all capital gains of the fund).

842-225(3)
For the purposes of applying section 115-225 in respect of section 115-220 , make the following assumptions:

842-225(5)
For the purposes of applying section 99E of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 :
(a) replace the reference in that section to so much of the net income with a reference to so much of the net income or non-IMR net income (within the meaning of subsection 842-260(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ) as the case may be; and

The effect of this subsection is that the trustee of a trust that receives a distribution of non-IMR net income from another trust is not required to apply section 98 , 99 or 99A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 to those amounts.
Certain losses disregarded
842-225(6)
