Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Even if a company meets the conditions in section 165 - 12 or 165 - 13, it cannot deduct the * tax loss if:
(a) for some or all of the part of the * ownership test period that started at the end of the * loss year, a person controlled, or was able to control, the voting power in the company (whether directly, or indirectly through one or more interposed entities); and
(b) for some or all of the * loss year, that person did not control, and was not able to control, that voting power (directly, or indirectly in that way); and
(c) that person began to control, or became able to control, that voting power (directly, or indirectly in that way) for the purpose of:
(i) getting some benefit or advantage in relation to how this Act applies; or
(ii) getting such a benefit or advantage for someone else;
or for purposes including that purpose.
Note: A person can still control the voting power in a company that is in liquidation etc.: see section 165 - 250.
(2) However, that person's control of the voting power, or ability to control it, does not prevent the company from deducting the * tax loss if the company satisfies the * business continuity test for the income year (the business continuity test period ).
(3) Apply the * business continuity test to the * business that the company carried on immediately before the time (the test time ) when the person began to control that voting power, or became able to control it.
For the business continuity test: see Subdivision 165 - E.
