View history reference

Subject to subsection (5), in determining for the purposes of this Act (other than the excluded provisions mentioned in subsection (4)) whether an amount is included in, or allowable as a deduction from, the assessable income of the transition taxpayer in respect of the disposal, the transition taxpayer is taken:


(a) to have sold, immediately before the transition time, each of its assets; and

(a) reduced by any amount of income received or receivable by the transition taxpayer in respect of the asset at or after the transition time that:

is not included in the transition taxpayer ' s assessable income; and


(b) increased by any amount of income received or receivable by the transition taxpayer in respect of the asset before the transition time that:

is included in the transition taxpayer ' s assessable income.
