INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 152.305

Choosing the exemption

Individual

  (1)   If you are an individual, you can choose to disregard all or part of a * capital gain if:

  (a)   the basic conditions in Subdivision   152 - A are satisfied for the gain; and

  (b)   if you are under 55 just before you make the choice--you contribute an amount equal to the asset's * CGT exempt amount to a * complying superannuation fund or an * RSA; and

Note:   For the non - deductibility of the contribution, see subsection   290 - 150(4).

  (c)   the contribution is made:

  (i)   if the relevant CGT event is CGT event J2, J5 or J6--when you made the choice; or

  (ii)   otherwise--at the later of when you made the choice and when you received the proceeds.

Note 1:   Section   103 - 25 tells you when the choice must be made.

  (1A)   If you receive the * capital proceeds from the * CGT event in instalments, paragraphs   (1)(b) and (c) apply to each instalment in succession (up to the asset's * CGT exempt amount).

  (1B)   For the purposes of (but without limiting) subsection   (1A), you are treated as receiving the * capital proceeds in instalments if:

  (a)   the * CGT event happened because you * disposed of the * CGT asset; and

  (b)   the capital proceeds from the disposal are increased by one or more * financial benefits that you receive under a * look - through earnout right.

Company or trust

  (2)   A company or a trust (except a public entity--see subsection   (3)) can also choose to disregard such an amount if:

  (a)   the basic conditions in Subdivision   152 - A are satisfied for the * capital gain; and

  (b)   the entity satisfies the significant individual test (see section   152 - 50); and

  (c)   the company or trust conditions in section   152 - 325 are satisfied.

Note:   Section   103 - 25 tells you when the choice must be made.

  (3)   Entities of a kind referred to in subsection   328 - 125(8) cannot make the choice.

  (4)   Paragraphs   (1)(a) and (2)(a) do not apply if the * capital gain arose from * CGT event J5 or J6.
