Preamble

Draft Taxation Determinations (TDs) present the preliminary, though considered, views of the ATO. Draft TDs may not be relied on; only final TDs are authoritative statements of the ATO.

1. No. It is quite clear from the wording of subsection 121D(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that a borrowing or lending activity applies only to the borrowing or lending of money.
