Subdivision 149-F - How to treat a ``demutualised'' public entity  

SECTION 149-170   Effect of demutualisation of interposed company  

149-170(1)    
This section modifies the treatment of evidence that an entity (the head entity ) gives the Commissioner under section 149-55 as to the * ultimate owners who had * underlying interests in the asset at a particular time if another entity (the interposed company ):

(a) was:

(i) a * mutual insurance company; or

(ii) a * mutual affiliate company;

at the end of the * starting day (as determined under subsection 149-60(6)) for the head entity; and

(b) has since stopped being a company of either of those kinds, but either:

(i) has continued in existence as a company covered by paragraph 149-50(1)(a) or (e) or a * publicly traded unit trust; or

(ii) has undergone a demutualisation in relation to which Division 316 (Demutualisation of friendly society health or life insurers) applied and has continued in existence as a company; and

(c) when it stopped being an entity of either of those kinds (the stopping time ), had more than 50 members.

149-170(2)    
The head entity may require the Commissioner to treat the evidence on the assumption that an * ultimate owner who:

(a) immediately before the stopping time was a member of the interposed company; and

(b) immediately after the stopping time had, through the interposed company, an * underlying interest in the asset;

had the interest at all times from and including the end of the * starting day until immediately after the stopping time.
