INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 152.1

What this Division is about

To help small business, if the basic conditions for relief are satisfied, capital gains can be reduced by the various concessions in this Division. Those basic conditions are in Subdivision   152 - A. Some of the concessions have additional, specific conditions that must also be satisfied.

The 4 available small business concessions are:

  (a)   the 15 - year exemption (in Subdivision   152 - B);

  (b)   the 50% reduction (in Subdivision   152 - C);

  (c)   the retirement concession (in Subdivision   152 - D);

  (d)   the roll - over (in Subdivision   152 - E).

A capital gain that qualifies for the 15 - year exemption is disregarded entirely and is not taken into account under the method statement in subsection   102 - 5(1). By contrast, the other concessions are only activated by step 4 of that method statement. This means that you must apply all available capital losses against your capital gains (under steps 1 and 2) before you can reduce them using those 3 concessions.
