(1) Work out the old group's allocable cost amount for the leaving entity in this way:
Working out the old group's allocable cost amount for the leaving entity | ||
Step | What the step requires | Purpose of the step |
1 | Start with the step 1 amount worked out under section 711 - 25, which is about the * terminating values of the leaving entity's assets just before the leaving time. | To ensure that the allocable cost amount includes the cost of the assets. |
2 | Add to the result of step 1 the step 2 amount worked out under section 711 - 35, which is about the value of deductions inherited by the leaving entity that are not reflected in the * terminating value of the leaving entity's assets just before the leaving time. | To ensure that the value of the deductions is reflected in the allocable cost amount. |
3 | Add to the result of step 2 the step 3 amount worked out under section 711 - 40, which is about liabilities owed by * members of the old group to the leaving entity at the leaving time. | To ensure that the liabilities, which are not recognised while the leaving entity is taken to be part of the * head company by subsection 701 - 1(1), are reflected in the allocable cost amount. |
4 | Subtract from the result of step 3 the step 4 amount worked out under section 711 - 45, which is about: (a) the leaving entity's liabilities just before the leaving time; and (b) * membership interests in the leaving entity that are not held by * members of the old group. | To ensure that the allocable cost amount is reduced to reflect the liabilities and the value of the membership interests. |
5 | If the amount remaining after step 4 is positive, it is the old group's allocable cost amount for the leaving entity. Otherwise the old group's allocable cost amount is nil. |
|
Note: If the amount remaining after step 4 is negative, the head company is taken to have made a capital gain equal to the amount: see CGT event L5.
Recalculation in order to work out amount of capital loss
(2) If it is necessary to work out whether the * head company makes a capital loss for a * CGT event that happens at or after the leaving time in relation to any of the * membership interests, the old group's allocable cost amount for the leaving entity is instead worked out as if the head company's * terminating value for any asset covered by subsection 705 - 30(4) (as it applies for the purposes of section 711 - 30) were instead equal to the asset's * reduced cost base just before the leaving time.
