ADDENDUM

The Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 now allows capital proceeds to be reduced by any amount repaid, to the extent that a deduction is not allowable for the repayment (section 116-50). This Addendum reflects this change in the law by specifying that this Determination does not apply to CGT events that happen after the beginning of the 1998-99 income year.

This Addendum amends Taxation Determination TD 93/44 as follows:

1. After paragraph 1 insert:

'2. This Determination does not apply to the calculation of capital proceeds from CGT events under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 that happen after the beginning of the 1998-99 income year. However, it continues to apply to disposals of assets under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 occurring before the beginning of the 1998-99 income year.'
