CHAPTER 2 - LIABILITY RULES OF GENERAL APPLICATION  

PART 2-40 - RULES AFFECTING EMPLOYEES AND OTHER TAXPAYERS RECEIVING PAYG WITHHOLDING PAYMENTS  

Division 83A - Employee share schemes  

Subdivision 83A-C - Deferred inclusion of gain in assessable income  

Main provisions

SECTION 83A-115   ESS deferred taxing point - shares  


Scope

83A-115(1)    
This section applies if the *ESS interest is a beneficial interest in a *share.

Meaning of ESS deferred taxing point

83A-115(2)    


The ESS deferred taxing point for the *ESS interest is the earlier of the times mentioned in subsections (4) and (6) .

83A-115(3)    
However, the ESS deferred taxing point for the *ESS interest is instead the time you dispose of the interest, if that time occurs within 30 days after the time worked out under subsection (2) .

No restrictions on disposing of share

83A-115(4)    
The first possible taxing point is the earliest time when:

(a)    there is no real risk that, under the conditions of the *employee share scheme, you will forfeit or lose the *ESS interest (other than by disposing of it); and

(b)    if, at the time you acquired the interest, the scheme genuinely restricted you immediately disposing of the interest - the scheme no longer so restricts you.

83A-115(5)    
(Repealed by No 8 of 2022)



Maximum time period for deferral

83A-115(6)    


The 2nd possible taxing point is the end of the 15 year period starting when you acquired the interest.
