The scheme commences on:
X XX 20WW
Relevant facts and circumstances
The taxpayer in question had a CGT event A1 during the 20XX financial year in relation to a sale of shares in a company (referred to as Co A from hereon) that was carrying on an active business.
The contract for sale was executed on the X XX 20WW. Under the contract the taxpayer had disposed 100% of shares it held in the Co A for $A00,000.
Based on agreements made between the parties $B00,000 of the capital proceeds were paid to the taxpayer upon execution of this contract. The remaining $C00,000 was to be paid to the taxpayer at a such time when Co A was able to enter into certain commercial contracts with 3rd parties and was able to raise further capital to produce and commercialize a new product.
Further to this when completing the 20XX income tax return certain small business CGT concessions were applied, including the small business rollover relief under Subdivision 152E.
The taxpayer had a minimal tax cost base for the shares it held in Co A, as such ~$C0,000 of capital gains were deferred under Subdivision 152 E after applying certain other small business CGT concessions.
At the time of completing the 20XX income tax return the intention of the taxpayer was to purchase a replacement asset within the relevant time frames for the amount ~$C0,000.
