(a) is commonly called a GST Direct Assistance Certificate; and


(b) is issued to you by an organisation known as the GST Start-Up Assistance Office in the Department of the Treasury; and


(c) is expressed to have a maximum value of $200.

PART 2-20 - TAX OFFSETS  

Division 61 - Generally applicable tax offsets  

Subdivision 61-G - Private health insurance offset complementary to Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997  

SECTION 61-300 (ARCHIVE)   What this Subdivision is about  

You can choose to claim a tax offset for premiums paid under private health insurance policies, instead of having premiums reduced under the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997.

Operative provisions

SECTION 61-305 (ARCHIVE)   Entitlement to the private health insurance tax offset  

61-305(1)  
You are entitled to a *tax offset for an income year in respect of premiums paid under a private health insurance policy (within the meaning of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997) if:


(a) the policy was one in respect of which you were eligible under Division 3 of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997 to participate in the incentives scheme (within the meaning of that Act); or


(b) the policy was one in respect of which another person was so eligible, but your taxable income for that year was required by subsection 3-3(2) or 3-4(2) of that Act to be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether the other person was so eligible.

61-305(2)  
You are also entitled to the *tax offset if:


(a) you are a trustee who is liable to be assessed under section 98 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in respect of a share of the net income of a trust estate; and


(b) the beneficiary who is presently entitled to the share of the income of the trust estate would be entitled to the tax offset because of subsection (1) if his or her taxable income for the income year were limited to that share.

61-305(3)  
However:


(a) you are not entitled to the *tax offset in respect of any premiums that were reduced under section 5-1 of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997; and


(b) you are not entitled to the tax offset in respect of any premiums in respect of which another person's entitlement to the tax offset has priority under section 61-315; and


(c) if, on a day during the income year, the policy ceased to be a dependent child policy (within the meaning of section 5-4 of that Act) - you are not entitled to the tax offset in respect of premiums to the extent that they relate to a part of the income year occurring after that day; and


(d) if all of the persons covered by the policy were dependent children at any time during the income year - you are not entitled to the tax offset unless your taxable income for that year was required by subsection 3-3(2) or 3-4(2) of that Act to be taken into account in applying the income test under section 3-3 or 3-4 of that Act.

SECTION 61-310 (ARCHIVE)   Amount of the private health insurance tax offset  

61-310(1)  
The amount of the *tax offset is:


(a) if the premiums in respect of which you are entitled to the tax offset cover the whole of the income year - the annual incentive amount for the private health insurance policy in question; or


(b) if those premiums cover only part of the income year - the amount worked out as follows:


  Annual incentive amount × Number of days covered by those premiums
     during the income year     
Number of days in the income year
 

61-310(2)  
In subsection (1):

annual incentive amount
means the annual incentive amount for the private health insurance policy under section 5-3 of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997.

61-310(3)  
However, if 2 or more persons are entitled to the *tax offset in respect of those premiums, each person having made payments in respect of those premiums, the amount of the tax offset is the amount worked out as follows:


  Amount of tax offset under subsection (1) × Amount paid by you
  in respect of those premiums 
Total amount paid in respect
of those premiums
 

61-310(4)  
For the purposes of subsection (3), a payment made jointly in respect of a premium by 2 or more persons is taken to be a separate payment, made by each of them, of an amount equal to the joint payment divided by the number of persons who made it.

61-310(5)  
For the purposes of subsection (3), if:


(a) 2 or more persons are entitled to the *tax offset in respect of those premiums; and


(b) payments have been made in respect of those premiums by another person who is not entitled to the tax offset;

each of the persons entitled to the tax offset is taken to have made a payment in respect of those premiums of an amount equal to the amount of the payments made by the other person divided by the number of persons entitled to the tax offset.

SECTION 61-315 (ARCHIVE)   Priority between different taxpayers  

61-315(1)  
This section establishes the priority of entitlements to the *tax offset if more than one person would, apart from paragraph 61-305(3)(b), be entitled to the tax offset in respect of the same premiums paid under a private health insurance policy (within the meaning of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997).

Note:

See paragraph 61-305(3)(b) for the significance of priority of entitlements.

61-315(2)  
All of the persons who would, apart from paragraph 61-305(3)(b), be entitled to the *tax offset in respect of those premiums may make an agreement (a priority agreement ) in respect of the income year specifying one of them as the person whose entitlement is to have priority.

Note:

Section 61-320 contains further provisions about priority agreements.

61-315(3)  
That person's entitlement in respect of those premiums has priority over the entitlements of all of the others.

61-315(4)  
If:


(a) a *priority agreement is not made in respect of the income year; and


(b) one of the persons who would, apart from paragraph 61-305(3)(b), be entitled to the *tax offset in respect of those premiums has made payments in respect of those premiums; and


(c) another of the persons who would, apart from paragraph 61-305(3)(b), be entitled to the tax offset in respect of those premiums has not made payments in respect of those premiums;

the entitlement of the person who made those payments has priority over the entitlement of the person who has not.

61-315(5)  
If:


(a) a *priority agreement is not made in respect of the income year; and


(b) none of the persons who would, apart from paragraph 61-305(3)(b), be entitled to the *tax offset in respect of those premiums has made payments in respect of those premiums;

the entitlement of the contributor in respect of the private health insurance policy has priority over the entitlement of each person other than the contributor.

61-315(6)  
In subsection (5):

contributor
means the person who is treated as the contributor by the health fund (within the meaning of the Private Health Insurance Incentives Act 1997) that issued the private health insurance policy.

61-315(7)  
Despite paragraph 61-305(3)(b) and subsections (3), (4) and (5) of this section, the entitlement to the *tax offset of either of the following persons in respect of those premiums:


(a) a trustee who is liable to be assessed under section 98 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in respect of a share of the net income of a trust estate;


(b) the beneficiary who is presently entitled to the share of the income of the trust estate;

is not affected by the other person's entitlement to the tax offset in respect of those premiums having priority.

SECTION 61-320 (ARCHIVE)   Priority agreements  

61-320(1)  
A *priority agreement has no effect unless it is made on or before:


(a) the day on which the first *income tax return of any of the persons who made the agreement was lodged for the income year in respect of which the agreement was made; or


(b) such later day as the Commissioner allows.

61-320(2)  
A *priority agreement has no effect, and is taken never to have had effect, if none of the persons who made the agreement retain the agreement for the period of 5 years starting on the day on which the agreement was made.

61-320(3)  
If the *priority agreement is lost or destroyed and the Commissioner is satisfied that one of the persons who made the agreement has a document (the substitute priority agreement ) that:


(a) is a copy of the priority agreement; or


(b) properly records all the matters set out in the priority agreement and was in existence when the priority agreement was lost or destroyed;

the substitute priority agreement is taken, for the purposes of this Subdivision, to be, and to have been at all times after the priority agreement was lost or destroyed, the priority agreement.

61-320(4)  
If:


(a) the *priority agreement is lost or destroyed; and


(b) the Commissioner is satisfied that the loss or destruction occurred because of circumstances beyond the control of the persons who made the agreement; and


(c) subsection (3) does not apply;

the agreement is not affected, and is taken never to have been affected, by subsection (2).

61-320(5)  
Section 170 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 does not prevent the amendment of an assessment at any time for the purposes of giving effect to this section.

SECTION 320-40 (ARCHIVE)   One-third of certain management fees received under contracts made before 1 July 2000 are non-assessable non-exempt income  

320-40(1)  
One-third of a *life insurance company's *specified management fees for the income year in respect of *life insurance policies constituted by contracts made with the company before 1 July 2000 are not assessable income and are not *exempt income.

Note:

The effect of this section is modified when the life insurance business of a life insurance company is transferred to another life insurance company: see section 320-345.

320-40(2)  
This section does not apply to amounts that become *specified management fees after 30 June 2005.

320-40(3)  
There are no *specified management fees in respect of *life insurance policies that, at 30 June 2000, were:


(a) policies under which amounts are to be paid only on the death or disability of a person; or


(b) policies to which both of the following apply:


(i) the policies provide for *participating benefits or *discretionary benefits;

(ii) the policies do not become policies under which the company's liabilities are to be discharged out of its *virtual PST assets or its *segregated exempt assets.

320-40(4)  
The specified management fees for the income year in respect of *life insurance policies to which subsection (3) does not apply are so much of the sum of the amounts applicable in respect of the policies under subsections (5), (6) and (7) (the applicable amounts ) as does not exceed any fees or charges made by the *life insurance company that the company was entitled to make under the terms of the policies as applying immediately before 1 July 2000.

320-40(5)  
The applicable amount for *virtual PST life insurance policies where the company's liabilities under the policies are to be discharged out of its *virtual PST assets is:


(a) the sum of the amounts transferred from the *virtual PST in the income year under subsection 320-180(1) or 320-195(3);

less:


(b) so much of the sum of:


(i) any amounts transferred to the virtual PST in the income years under subsection 320-185(3) or 320-185(1); and

(ii) any of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) that are related to the company's liability to pay amounts on the death or disability of a person; and

(iii) any of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) that are related to expenses incurred by the company in respect of policies that provide for *participating benefits or *discretionary benefits; and

(iv) any of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) that are not covered by subparagraph (ii) or (iii) and are covered by subsection (5A);
as does not exceed the sum of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a).

320-40(5A)  
This subsection covers amounts that:


(a) are related to expenses incurred by the company directly in respect of *virtual PST assets in relation to a period during which the assets were virtual PST assets; and


(b) were transferred from the *virtual PST in the income year (as mentioned in paragraph (5)(a)) because the expenses were not paid from the virtual PST as required by subsection 320-195(4).

Note:

For example, the amounts were transferred out of the virtual PST under subsection 320-195(3) because fees or charges were imposed to recover those expenses (as the expenses would have been paid from assets other than virtual PST assets).

320-40(6)  
The applicable amount for *exempt life insurance policies where the company's liabilities under the policies are to be discharged out of its *segregated exempt assets is:


(a) the sum of the amounts transferred from the segregated exempt assets in the income year under subsection 320-235(1) or 320-250(2);

less:


(b) so much of the sum of:


(i) any amounts transferred to the segregated exempt assets in the income year under subsection 320-235(3) or 320-240(1); and

(ii) any of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) that are related to expenses incurred by the company in respect of policies that provide for *participating benefits or *discretionary benefits; and

(iii) any of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) that are not covered by subparagraph (ii) and are covered by subsection (6A);
as does not exceed the sum of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a).

320-40(6A)  
This subsection covers amounts that:


(a) are related to expenses incurred by the company directly in respect of *segregated exempt assets in relation to a period during which the assets were segregated exempt assets; and


(b) were transferred from the segregated exempt assets in the income year (as mentioned in paragraph (6)(a)) because the expenses were not paid from the segregated exempt assets as required by subsection 320-250(3).

Note:

For example, the amounts were transferred out of the segregated exempt assets under subsection 320-250(2) because fees or charges were imposed to recover those expenses (as the expenses would have been paid from assets other than segregated exempt assets).

320-40(7)  
The applicable amount for other policies is:


(a) the sum of:


(i) the *life insurance premiums received in respect of the policies in the income year; and

(ii) any amounts that the company includes in its assessable income in respect of the policies under paragraph 320-15(1)(k) for the income year;

less:


(b) so much of the sum of:


(i) the amounts that the company can deduct under section 320-75 in respect of the policies in the income year; and

(ii) the *risk components of claims paid under the policies in the income year;
as does not exceed the sum of the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a).

320-40(8)  
An amount that is not assessable income and is not *exempt income under this section is taken to be assessable income of the *life insurance company for the purposes of section 8-1.

CHAPTER 4 - INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF INCOME TAX  

PART 4-5 - GENERAL  

Division 820 - Thin capitalisation rules  

Subdivision 820-EA - Some financial entities may choose to be treated as ADIs  

SECTION 820-445 (ARCHIVE)   How this Subdivision interacts with Subdivision 820-FA  

Subdivision 820-F

820-445(1)  
A choice under section 820-430 does not affect how section 820-550 (Classification of the resident TC group) applies to a *resident TC group for an income year unless the group could have made a choice under section 820-430 covering the whole of that income year if:


(a) the group had been a company throughout the income year; and


(b) each entity in the group had been a division or part of that company, rather than a separate entity, at all times during the income year when the entity was in the group.

Note:

To work out the times during the income year when an entity was in the group, see section 820-530.

820-445(2)  
A choice under section 820-430 does not have effect for so much of a period as happens while the entity is in a *resident TC group for an income year if, apart from the choice, section 820-575 would apply Subdivision 820-E to the group for that income year as if the group were an *inward investing entity (ADI).

Subdivision 820-F - Thin capitalisation rules for resident TC groups  

SECTION 820-450 (ARCHIVE)   What this Subdivision is about  

This Subdivision sets out the thin capitalisation rules that apply to a group of entities (called a resident TC group). If those rules apply to the group, the rest of the Division does not apply separately to the entities in the group.

This Subdivision tells you:

  • how to construct a resident TC group; and
  • how to classify the group (in terms of which Subdivision of this Division to apply); and
  • how to apply this Division to the group (including how the application is modified).
  • Operative provisions

    SECTION 820-455 (ARCHIVE)   Removal of grouping under this Subdivision  

    820-455(1)  
    This section and sections 820-456 to 820-458 affect the making, by the *top entity of a *maximum TC group for an income year, of a choice under section 820-500 for the income year if:


    (a) the choice would result in entities (the potential group members ) for which the income year ends on the same day being treated as a *resident TC group for the income year; and


    (b) the income year includes, or starts after, the day (the cut-off day ) worked out under the table.

    Note:

    If the top entity can and does make the choice, subsection 820-458(1) affects a foreign bank's ability to choose under paragraph 820-515(c) to include its Australian permanent establishments in the resident TC group.


    Cut-off day for thin capitalisation grouping
    Item In this case: The cut-off day is:
    1 The first day (the consolidation day ) on which at least one of the potential group members becomes a *member of a *consolidated group or *MEC group is on or before 1 July 2003 the consolidation day
    2 The consolidation day is before 1 July 2004 and is the first day of the first income year starting after 30 June 2003 of the group's *head company (for a *consolidated group) or *provisional head company (for a *MEC group) on the consolidation day the consolidation day
    3 Any other case 1 July 2003

    820-455(2)  
    The *top entity cannot make the choice if:


    (a) the cut-off day is before 1 July 2003 and the income year starts on or after 1 July 2003; or


    (b) the cut-off day is on or after 1 July 2003 and the income year starts on or after the cut-off day.

    Note:

    This means that the top entity can make the choice in a case covered by item 2 of the table in subsection (1) if the income year ends immediately before the one described in that item. In these circumstances neither of sections 820-456 and 820-457 will apply.

    SECTION 820-456 (ARCHIVE)   Income year starts on or after cut-off day but before 1 July 2003  

    820-456(1)  
    This section applies if:


    (a) the cut-off day is before 1 July 2003; and


    (b) the income year starts on or after the cut-off day but before 1 July 2003; and


    (c) the top entity makes the choice referred to in section 820-455.

    820-456(2)  
    This Subdivision (except sections 820-455 to 820-458) applies to each of the potential group members on the following basis:


    (a) the income year is treated as ending on 30 June 2003;


    (b) the *resident TC group is treated as consisting only of each (if any) of the potential group members that, at no time before 1 July 2003, was a *member of a *consolidated group or *MEC group.

    820-456(3)  
    For each of the potential group members, for each of the following periods:


    (a) the period beginning at the start of the income year and ending on 30 June 2003;


    (b) the rest (if any) of the income year;

    this Division (except sections 820-455 to 820-458) is to have either:


    (c) a single application in relation to the whole of the period; or


    (d) 2 or more applications, each in relation to a part of that period.

    Note:

    Subsection (3) is similar to section 820-581, which sets out an example of how that section works.

    SECTION 820-457 (ARCHIVE)   Income year includes, but does not start on, cut-off day  

    820-457(1)  
    This section applies if:


    (a) the income year includes, but does not start on, the cut-off day; and


    (b) the top entity makes the choice referred to in section 820-455.

    820-457(2)  
    This Subdivision (except sections 820-455 to 820-458) applies to each of the potential group members as if the income year ended immediately before the cut-off day.

    820-457(3)  
    If the cut-off day is before 1 July 2003, this Subdivision (except sections 820-455 to 820-458) has an additional application to each of the potential group members on the following basis:


    (a) the income year is treated as consisting of the period starting on the cut-off day and ending on 30 June 2003, or on the day when the income year would otherwise have ended, whichever is earlier;


    (b) the *resident TC group is treated as consisting only of each (if any) of the potential group members that, at no time before or during that period, was a *member of a *consolidated group or *MEC group.

    820-457(4)  
    For each of the potential group members, for each of the following periods:


    (a) the period starting at the start of the income year and ending immediately before the cut-off day;


    (b) if the cut-off day is before 1 July 2003:


    (i) the period referred to in paragraph (3)(a);

    (ii) the rest (if any) of the income year;


    (c) if the cut-off day is 1 July 2003 - the period starting on the cut-off day and ending at the end of the income year;

    this Division (except sections 820-455 to 820-458) is to have either:


    (d) a single application in relation to the whole of the period; or


    (e) 2 or more applications, each in relation to a part of that period.

    Note:

    If the cut-off day is the consolidation day, this section complements provisions ensuring that, for the potential group members, this Division has at least one separate application to the part of the income year before the consolidation day:

  • in the case of subsidiary members of a consolidated group or MEC group, this result is achieved by paragraph 701-30(3)(a); and
  • in the case of the head company of the consolidated group or MEC group, it is achieved by section 820-581.
  • Section 820-581 sets out an example of how that section works. The example discusses how that section interacts with this one, and illustrates the operation of provisions like subsection (4) of this section.

    SECTION 820-458 (ARCHIVE)   Choice by foreign bank to include its Australian permanent establishments in the resident TC group  

    820-458(1)  
    If:


    (a) the *top entity makes the choice referred to in section 820-455; but


    (b) subsection 820-455(2) would have prevented the choice if the potential group members had included an *Australian permanent establishment of a *foreign bank;

    the foreign bank cannot make a choice under paragraph 820-515(c) that would result in the *resident TC group including that Australian permanent establishment.

    Note:

    Subdivision 820-FB allows the head company of a consolidated group or MEC group, or a single Australian company that cannot form such a group, to choose to treat as part of itself certain Australian permanent establishments of a foreign bank.

    Section 820-603 then treats an Australian permanent establishment covered by the choice as an entity, and as a member of a consolidated group or MEC group, for the purposes of this Division. This means that the Australian permanent establishment in effect becomes a member of a consolidated group or MEC group, which then triggers the operation of item 1 or 2 in the table in subsection 820-455(1).

    820-458(2)  
    If:


    (a) the *top entity makes the choice referred to in section 820-455; and


    (b) a *foreign bank makes a choice under paragraph 820-515(c) (that does not contravene subsection (1) of this section);

    sections 820-456 and 820-457 apply (and are taken always to have applied) as if the potential group members included each *Australian permanent establishment included in the *resident TC group because of the choice under paragraph 820-515(c).

    Note:

    This subsection will only change the effect of this section in a situation of the kind described in the note to subsection (1) of this section.

    SECTION 820-460 (ARCHIVE)   Application  

    820-460(1)  
    This Subdivision modifies how this Division applies to:


    (a) each entity in a *resident TC group for an income year; and


    (b) each *foreign bank of which an *Australian permanent establishment is in the group.

    820-460(2)  
    However, it does so only if:


    (a) the group is one of these for the income year (because of section 820-550):


    (i) an *outward investor (general);

    (ii) an *outward investor (financial);

    (iii) an *inward investment vehicle (general);

    (iv) an *inward investment vehicle (financial);

    (v) an *outward investing entity (ADI); or


    (b) section 820-555 prevents this Division (except this Subdivision) from applying to any entity in the group for the income year (because the group is headed by a foreign-controlled Australian ADI); or


    (c) section 820-565 applies Subdivision 820-D to the group for the income year as if the group were an outward investing entity (ADI); or


    (d) section 820-575 applies Subdivision 820-E to the group for the income year as if the group were an inward investing entity (ADI).

    Note:

    This Subdivision does not affect:

  • how this Division applies to entities that are not in a resident TC group, even if they are members of the same wholly-owned group as an entity that is in a resident TC group; or
  • how this Division applies to entities that are in a resident TC group that is not covered by any of paragraphs (2)(a) to (d).
  • 820-460(3)  
    This Division (except this Subdivision) applies to each entity in the group as if:


    (a) the group had been a company throughout the income year; and


    (b) each entity in the group had been a division or part of that company, rather than a separate entity, at all times during the income year when the entity was in the group; and


    (c) without limiting paragraph (b), each *debt deduction, for the income year, of each entity in the group were a debt deduction of the group (even if it was incurred at a time when the entity was not in the group);

    but with the modifications set out in sections 820-550 to 820-575.

    Note:

    To work out the times during the income year when the entity was in the group, see section 820-530.

    820-460(3A)  
    This Division (except this Subdivision) does not apply to an entity in the group except as mentioned in subsection (3).

    820-460(4)  
    If an *Australian permanent establishment of a *foreign bank is in the group, this Division (except this Subdivision) applies as if:


    (a) at all times when it was in the group during the income year, the Australian permanent establishment had been a division or part of the group; and


    (b) the Australian permanent establishment had been a division or part of the foreign bank at no time during the income year; and


    (c) without limiting paragraph (a) or (b), each deduction that:


    (i) is a *debt deduction of the foreign bank for the income year; and

    (ii) is attributable to the Australian permanent establishment;
    were a debt deduction of the group (even if it was incurred at a time when the Australian permanent establishment was not in the group);

    but with the modifications set out in sections 820-550 to 820-575.

    Note:

    To work out the times during the income year when the Australian permanent establishment was in the group, see section 820-530.

    820-460(5)  
    For the purposes of this Division (as applying because of this Subdivision), this Act (except this Division) applies as if the matters referred to in subsections (3) and (4) of this section were the case.

    Note:

    This means that the group is treated for the purposes of this Division as if it had debt deductions for the income year, based on the actual costs incurred by the entities and Australian permanent establishments that are treated as divisions or parts under subsections (3) and (4).

    SECTION 820-465 (ARCHIVE)   820-465   Effect on entities in group if debt deduction disallowed  
    If:


    (a) this Division (as applying because of this Subdivision) disallows all or part of a *debt deduction of the group for an income year; and


    (b) apart from this Division, the deduction would be a deduction of an entity for that income year;

    this subsection disallows the deduction of that entity to the same extent.

    Note 1:

    This section does not disallow a debt deduction to the extent that, at the time when the entity incurred the cost, the amount of the cost was paid or owed to another entity that was in the group at that time.

    This is because the cost would not be a deduction for the group, since both entities are treated as divisions or parts of the group (see subsection 820-460(3)).

    Note 2:

    The disallowed amount also does not form part of the cost base of a CGT asset. See section 110-54.

    SECTION 820-470 (ARCHIVE)   Values to be based on what would be in consolidated accounts for group  

    820-470(1)  
    For the purposes of this Division as applying because of this Subdivision to a *resident TC group for an income year, the value or amount of a particular matter as at a particular time is to be worked out, so far as practicable, on the basis of the information that would be contained in a set of consolidated accounts:


    (a) prepared, in accordance with the *accounting standard on consolidated accounts, as at that time; and


    (b) covering the entities of which the group consisted at that time.

    Note:

    This subsection does not depend on whether such a set of consolidated accounts was prepared, or had to be prepared, for other purposes.

    820-470(2)  
    To avoid doubt, subsection (1) also applies to working out the value or amount, as at a particular time, of a matter mentioned in any of sections 820-550 to 820-575 (for example, an entity's tier 1 capital (within the meaning of the *prudential standards) or *paid-up share capital).

    How to construct a resident TC group for an income year

    SECTION 820-500 (ARCHIVE)   Choice to be made by top entity of a maximum TC group  

    820-500(1)  
    The *top entity of a *maximum TC group for an income year may make one only of the 3 choices set out in sections 820-505, 820-510 and 820-520.

    820-500(2)  
    If there are 2 or more *top entities of the maximum TC group, only one of them can make the choice.

    820-500(3)  
    A maximum TC group for an income year consists of:


    (a) a company that, at the end of that income year, is a *100% subsidiary of no other company; and


    (b) each 100% subsidiary of that company at the end of that income year.

    820-500(4)  
    A top entity of a *maximum TC group for an income year is a company in the group of which each company in the group (other than that company) that, at the end of that income year:


    (a) is an *Australian entity; and


    (b) is not a *prescribed dual resident;

    is a 100% subsidiary.

    SECTION 820-505 (ARCHIVE)   Single group  

    820-505(1)  
    The first choice can be made only if the income year ends on the same day for all companies ( eligible companies ) in the *maximum TC group that meet the conditions in subsection (3) at the end of the income year.

    Note:

    If this condition is not met, those eligible companies for which the income year does end on the same day may be able to form one or more resident TC groups under section 820-510.

    820-505(2)  
    The choice is to treat as a single resident TC group for the income year:


    (a) all the eligible companies; and


    (b) each partnership and trust that section 820-515 includes in the resident TC group; and


    (c) each *Australian permanent establishment of a *foreign bank that section 820-515 includes in the resident TC group.

    820-505(3)  
    The conditions for each company are that it:


    (a) is an *Australian entity; and


    (b) is not a *prescribed dual resident.

    SECTION 820-510 (ARCHIVE)   Multiple groups  

    820-510(1)  
    The second choice is to treat the eligible companies referred to in section 820-505 as forming one or more resident TC groups for the income year, on the basis that each resident TC group consists of:


    (a) one or more subgroups constructed under subsection (3) of this section; and


    (b) each partnership and trust that section 820-515 includes in the resident TC group; and


    (c) each *Australian permanent establishment of a *foreign bank that section 820-515 includes in the resident TC group.

    820-510(2)  
    However, a resident TC group under subsection (1) can consist of or include 2 or more subgroups constructed under subsection (3) only if:


    (a) each company in the 2 or more subgroups is at the end of the income year a *100% subsidiary of the same company (the link company ) in the *maximum TC group; and


    (b) for each company in the 2 or more subgroups, the income year ends on the same day; and


    (c) the resident TC group includes every company:


    (i) that is a *100% subsidiary of the link company at the end of the income year; and

    (ii) that meets the conditions in subsection 820-505(3) at the end of the income year; and

    (iii) for which the income year ends on that same day.

    820-510(3)  
    A subgroup constructed under this subsection consists of:


    (a) an entity(the node entity ) that:


    (i) is in the *maximum TC group; and

    (ii) meets the conditions in subsection 820-505(3) at the end of the income year; and

    (iii) is a *100% subsidiary of no other entity in the maximum TC group that meets those conditions at the end of the income year; and


    (b) each 100% subsidiary (if any) of the node entity:

    SECTION 820-552 (ARCHIVE)   Treatment of exempt special purpose entities

    The fact that an entity meets the conditions in subsection 820-39(3) (about insolvency-remote special purpose entities established to manage economic risk) throughout a period ending at the end of an income year does not prevent the entity from being in a *resident TC group for that income year.

    820-552(2)  
    However, the entity is treated as not being in that group for the purposes of sections 820-550, 820-555, 820-565 and 820-575.

    820-552(3)  
    While an entity meets the conditions in subsection 820-39(3), it is treated for the purposes of this Division (except this section) as not being in a *resident TC group that it is in.

    Note:

    This section has the effect that the circumstances of the entity are not taken into account in applying this Division to the resident TC group. The entity itself is exempt from this Division because of section 820-39.

    (iv) a trust, all interests in whose income and capital are beneficially owned at the end of the income year by one or more entities in the group, each of which is covered by subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii); or

    (v) a company that meets the condition in subsection (2).

    820-555(2)  
    To be covered by subparagraph (1)(b)(v), a company:


    (a) must be a *foreign controlled Australian company at the end of the income year; and

    SECTION 960-370 (ARCHIVE)   Meaning of pre-GST annual turnover   General rule

    960-370(1)  
    Your pre-GST annual turnover for an income year is your *group turnover for the income year.

    Note:

    Your pre-GST annual turnover will not be relevant to an income year starting after 30 June 2000, because it is only relevant to deductions for costs related to preparing for the GST (see sections 25-80, 42-168 and 46-62).

    New businesses

    960-370(2)  
    However, if you, or one or more of the entities *connected with you, did not start to carry on *business until after the start of the income year:


    (a) you must make a reasonable estimate of the amount that would have been your *group turnover for the income year if you, and all of the entities connected with you, had carried on business throughout the income year; and


    (b) that estimate is your pre-GST annual turnover for the income year.
