INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 355.449

Balancing adjustments for R&D partnership assets partially used for R&D activities

  (1)   The * R&D entity (the partner ) has an amount under this section if:

  (a)   the partner is a partner in an * R&D partnership; and

  (b)   a * balancing adjustment event happens in the present year for a * depreciating asset * held by the R&D partnership and for which:

  (i)   the R&D partnership can deduct, for an income year, an amount under section   40 - 25, as that section applies apart from Division   355 and former section   73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ; or

  (ii)   the R&D partnership could have deducted, for an income year, an amount as described in subparagraph   (i) if it had used the asset; and

  (c)   one or more partners (including the partner) in the R&D partnership are entitled under section   355 - 100 to * tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions under section   355 - 520 for the asset; and

  (d)   an amount (the section   40 - 285 amount ) is included in the R&D partnership's assessable income for the asset under section   40 - 285 (after applying subsection   40 - 293(2)) for the present year.

  (2)   The amount is the partner's proportion of the amount worked out as follows:

Start formula start fraction Total R&D deductions over Total decline in value end fraction times Adjusted section 40-285 amount end formula

where:

"adjusted section 40- 285 amount" means so much of an amount equal to the section   40 - 285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.

"total decline in value" means the * cost of the asset less its * adjustable value.

"total R&D deductions" means the sum of each partner's deductions mentioned in paragraph   (1)(c) of this section.
