Edited version of private advice
Authorisation Number: 1052192018618
Date of advice: 27 November 2023
Ruling
Subject:CGT - small business concession - rollover relief
Question
Will the Commissioner exercise the discretion under subsection 104-190(2) ofthe Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997) to extend the replacement asset period?
Answer
Yes. Having regard to the particular circumstances of this case, in particular the construction delays that were experienced, the Commissioner has applied the discretion and will extend the replacement asset period. As a result of delays relating to the purchase of the land and construction of the building, the replacement asset was not active by the end of the rollover period.
This is an acceptable explanation for the period of extension required. There would be no prejudice to the ATO by allowing the extension. There is no mischief involved. The Commissioner considers it fair and equitable in these circumstances for an extension to be allowed.
This ruling applies for the following periods:
Year ending 30 June 2023
Year ending 30 June 2024
The scheme commenced on:
1 July 2022
