    ● Where the general test in section 250-15 of the ITAA 1997 is satisfied in respect of the taxpayer and certain assets, will the Commissioner make a determination under section 250-45 of the ITAA 1997 that it is unreasonable that Division 250 applies in respect of the taxpayer and certain assets?

Section 250-15 of the ITAA 1997 will be satisfied in respect of a taxpayer and certain assets. However, the Commissioner will make a determination under section 250-45 of the ITAA 1997 that it is unreasonable that Division 250 applies in respect of the taxpayer and those assets.
