201   Subsection 20 - 40(2) (example)

Repeal the example, substitute:

Example:   At the start of the 2002 - 03 income year, a company incurs $100,000 to start to hold a depreciating asset. The company uses the prime cost method, and the effective life is 10 years. $10,000 is deductible for the 2002 - 03 income year and for each of the following 9 income years under section   40 - 25.

  In the 2002 - 03 income year, the company receives $20,000 as recoupment. How much is assessable for the 2002 - 03 income year?

  Applying the method statement:

  After step 1: the total assessable recoupment is $20,000.

  After step 2: the recoupment already assessed is nil.

  After step 3: the unassessed recoupment is:
total assessable recoupment minus recoupment already assesse d,
i.e. $20,000 minus 0 = $20,000.

  After step 4: the total deductions for the loss or outgoing are $10,000.

  After step 5: the outstanding deductions are:
total deductions for the loss or outgoing minus recoupment already assessed, i.e. $10,000 minus 0 = $10,000.

  After step 6: the unassessed recoupment (step 3) is greater than outstanding deductions (step 5), so the amount of the outstanding deductions is included in assessable income, i.e. $10,000.

  Applying the method statement to the 2003 - 04 income year: a further $10,000 is included in the company's assessable income.

202   Subsection 20 - 45(1) (note)

Omit "section   40 - 25", substitute "Subdivision   40 - D".

203   Subsection 20 - 45(3) (example)

Repeal the example, substitute:

Example:   Continuing the example in subsection 20 - 40(2): at the start of the 2005 - 06 income year, the company:

  As a result of the sale, a balancing adjustment of $5,000 is included under section   40 - 285 in the company's assessable income for that income year.

  How much of the recoupment amount received in the 2005 - 06 income year is assessable for that income year?

  Applying the method statement in subsection 20 - 40(2):

  After step 1: the total assessable recoupment is $30,000 (received during 2002 - 03 and 2005 - 06).

  After step 2: the recoupment already assessed is $20,000 (for 2002 - 03 and 2003 - 04).

  After step 3: the unassessed recoupment is:
total assessable recoupment minus recoupment already assessed,
i.e. $30,000 minus $20,000 = $10,000.

  After step 4: the total deductions for the loss or outgoing are $30,000 ($10,000 for each of 2002 - 03, 2004 - 04 and 2004 - 05), reduced by $5,000 (the amount included in assessable income for the balancing adjustment), i.e. $25,000.

  After step 5: the outstanding deductions are:
total deductions for the loss or outgoing minus recoupment already assessed, i.e. $25,000 minus $20,000 = $5,000.

  After step 6: the unassessed recoupment (step 3) is greater than outstanding deductions (step 5), so the amount of the outstanding deductions is included in assessable income, i.e. $5,000.

  (c)   the asset is allocated to a low - value pool or a pool under Division   328 for or in that year.

The reduction is the amount of the input tax credit.

Low - value pools

  (3)   For a low - value pool, the * closing pool balance of the pool for:

  (a)   if the credit year is later than the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the income year before the credit year; or

  (b)   if the credit year is the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the credit year;

is reduced by an amount equal to the input tax credit.

Software development pools and project pools

  (4)   For a software development pool or a project pool, the expenditure in the pool for the credit year, or the * pool value for the credit year, is reduced by an amount equal to the * input tax credit.

STS pools

  (5)   For a pool under Division   328, the * opening pool balance of the pool for the credit year is reduced by an amount equal to the input tax credit.

No reduction if market value

  (5A)   However, there is no reduction to the * cost of a * depreciating asset if its cost is modified under Division   40 to be its * market value.

Second element of cost

  (6)   There is a reduction under subsection   (7) if:

  (a)   the entity incurs expenditure in an income year (also the credit year ) that is included in the second element of the * cost of a * depreciating asset allocated to a low - value pool or a pool under Division   328 for or in the credit year; and

  (b)   the entity is or becomes entitled, after the credit year, to an * input tax credit for the expenditure.

  (7)   An amount equal to the amount of the * input tax credit is applied in reduction of:

  (a)   for a low - value pool:

  (i)   if the credit year is later than the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the income year before the credit year; or

  (ii)   if the credit year is the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the credit year; or

  (b)   for a pool under Division   328--the * opening pool balance of the pool for the credit year.

  (7A)   There is a reduction to an amount of expenditure included in the second element of the * cost of a * depreciating asset if:

  (a)   the asset is allocated to a low - value pool or a pool under Division   328 for or in the income year in which the expenditure was incurred; and

  (b)   the entity that incurred the expenditure is or becomes entitled to an * input tax credit for the expenditure; and

  (c)   the entitlement arises in the income year in which the expenditure was incurred.

The reduction is the amount of the input tax credit.

Increasing adjustments

  (8)   There is an increase under subsection   (9) if the entity has an * increasing adjustment (except one that arises under Division   129 or 132 of the * GST Act) in an income year (the adjustment year ) that relates directly or indirectly to a * creditable acquisition or * creditable importation to which the pooled expenditure relates.

Note:   For an increasing adjustment that arises under Division   129 or 132 of the GST Act, see section   27 - 92.

  (9)   An amount equal to the amount of that * increasing adjustment is added to:

  (a)   for a low - value pool:

  (i)   if the adjustment year is later than the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the income year before the adjustment year; or

  (ii)   if the adjustment year is the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the adjustment year; or

  (b)   for a pool under Division   328--the * opening pool balance of the pool for the adjustment year; or

  (c)   for * in - house software--the amount of expenditure allocated to the software development pool for the adjustment year; or

  (d)   for a project pool--the * pool value for the adjustment year.

Decreasing adjustments

  (10)   There is a decrease under subsection   (11) if the entity has a * decreasing adjustment (except one that arises under Division   129 or 132 of the * GST Act) in an income year (also the adjustment year ) that relates directly or indirectly to a * creditable acquisition or * creditable importation to which the pooled expenditure relates.

Note:   For a decreasing adjustment that arises under Division   129 or 132 of the GST Act, see section   27 - 87.

  (11)   An amount equal to the amount of the * decreasing adjustment is applied in reduction of:

  (a)   for a low - value pool:

  (i)   if the adjustment year is later than the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the income year before the adjustment year; or

  (ii)   if the adjustment year is the first income year for which * depreciating assets were allocated to the pool--the * closing pool balance of the pool for the adjustment year; or

  (b)   for a pool under Division   328--the * opening pool balance of the pool for the adjustment year; or

  (c)   for * in - house software--the amount of expenditure allocated to the software development pool for the adjustment year; or

  (d)   for a project pool--the * pool value for the adjustment year.

  (12)   If the amount available for reduction under subsection   (11) is more than the amount referred to in paragraph   (11)(a), (b), (c) or (d) (whichever is applicable), the excess is included in the entity's assessable income unless the entity is an * exempt entity.

27 - 105   Other Division   40 expenditure

  (1)   This section applies to expenditure for which an entity can deduct amounts under Division   40 (but not under Subdivision   40 - B or 40 - E, or Subdivision   40 - I to the extent that that Subdivision relates to project pools).

  (2)   The amount of the expenditure is reduced if the entity is or becomes entitled to an * input tax credit for a * creditable acquisition or * creditable importation to which the expenditure directly or indirectly relates. The reduction is the amount of the input tax credit that relates to that expenditure.

  (3)   If the entity has a * decreasing adjustment in an income year that relates directly or indirectly to the expenditure, an amount equal to the decreasing adjustment is included in the entity's assessable income for that income year.

  (4)   If the entity has an * increasing adjustment in an income year that relates directly or indirectly to the expenditure, the entity can deduct an amount equal to the increasing adjustment for that income year.

  (5)   If the entity is a partnership and section   40 - 570 or 40 - 665 applies, an amount equal to the * input tax credit, the * decreasing adjustment or the * increasing adjustment is apportioned to each of the partners as appropriate.

  (6)   However, this section does not apply to an * exempt entity.

27 - 110   Input tax credit etc. relating to 2 or more things

    This Subdivision applies to an * input tax credit, or an * increasing adjustment or * decreasing adjustment, that relates directly or indirectly to 2 or more things of which at least one is a * depreciating asset as if a reasonable proportion of the input tax credit or adjustment related directly or indirectly to each of those depreciating assets and each of those other things.

There is a choice of 2 methods for each depreciating asset:

Subdivision   58 - A -- Application

Table of sections

58 - 5   Application of Division

58 - 10   When an asset is acquired in connection with the acquisition of a business

58 - 5   Application of Division

  (1)   This Division applies in 2 situations.

Entity sale

  (2)   The first (an entity sale situation ) is where:

  (a)   at a particular time on or after 1   July 2001 , an entity is an exempt entity; and

  (b)   just after that time, the entity's * ordinary income or * statutory income becomes to any extent assessable income.

  (3)   In an entity sale situation:

  (a)   the entity is a transition entity ; and

  (b)   the time when the entity's * ordinary income or * statutory income becomes to that extent assessable is the transition time ; and

  (c)   the income year in which the * transition time occurs is the transition year for the entity; and

  (d)   the * depreciating assets the * transition entity * held just before the transition time are privatised assets .

Asset sale

  (4)   The second (an asset sale situation ) is where:

  (a)   at a particular time on or after 1   July 2001 , an entity (the purchaser ) whose * ordinary income or statutory income is to any extent assessable acquires a * depreciating asset from an * exempt entity; and

  (b)   the asset is acquired in connection with the acquisition of a * business from the exempt entity.

  (5)   In an asset sale situation:

  (a)   the * exempt entity is the tax exempt vendor ; and

  (b)   the time when the * depreciating asset is acquired is the acquisition time ; and

  (c)   the income year in which the * acquisition time occurs is the acquisition year ; and

  (d)   each * depreciating asset the purchaser acquires from the * tax exempt vendor at the acquisition time is a privatised asset .

58 - 10   When an asset is acquired in connection with the acquisition of a business

  (1)   A * depreciating asset is taken to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of a * business from the * exempt entity if and only if:

  (a)   the asset was used by the exempt entity in carrying on a business and the purchaser or another person uses the asset in carrying on the business; or

  (b)   subsection   (2) applies.

  (2)   This subsection applies if:

  (a)   the asset was used by the * exempt entity in performing functions, or engaging in activities, that did not constitute the carrying on of a * business by the exempt entity and the asset is used by the purchaser or another person in performing those functions or engaging in those activities as part of carrying on a business; or

  (b)   all of these subparagraphs apply:

  (i)   the acquisition by the purchaser of the asset was connected with the acquisition of another asset by the purchaser or another person from the exempt entity or from an * associate of the exempt entity;

  (ii)   ownership of the other asset gives the purchaser or other person a right, or imposes on the purchaser or other person an obligation, to perform functions or engage in activities as part of the carrying on of a business or confers on the purchaser or other person a commercial advantage or opportunity in connection with performing functions or engaging in activities as part of the carrying on of a business;

  (iii)   the asset is used by the purchaser or other person in performing those functions or engaging in those activities under the right or obligation or in taking the benefit of the advantage or opportunity; or

  (c)   the asset was acquired by the purchaser under an * arrangement under which the purchaser or another person acquired another asset from the exempt entity or from an associate of the exempt entity and:

  (i)   the other asset is taken by paragraph   (1)(a), or by paragraph   (a) or (b) of this subsection; or

  (ii)   where the other asset is not a depreciating asset, it would, if it were a depreciating asset, be taken by paragraph   (1)(a), or by paragraph   (a) or (b) of this subsection;

    to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of a business from the exempt entity.

  (3)   Paragraphs   (2)(a), (b) and (c) do not apply if the asset is used by the purchaser solely to derive assessable income from the provision of office or residential accommodation.

or within a further period allowed by the Commissioner.

  (4)   The choice, once made, cannot be changed.

58 - 70   Application of Division   40

Application of Division   40

  (1)   The * transition entity and the purchaser work out the decline in value of, and the effect of a * balancing adjustment event occurring for, each * privatised asset using Division   40 (Capital allowances) as if the asset had been acquired under a contract entered into on or after 1   July 2001 .

Entity sale situation

  (2)   Division   40 applies to a * privatised asset * held by the * transition entity as if the asset had not been used, or * installed ready for use, for any purpose before the * transition time.

  (4)   No amount incurred before the * transition time is included in the second element of the * cost of a * privatised asset.

Asset sale situation

  (5)   The first element of the * cost of a * privatised asset to the purchaser at the * acquisition time is the sum of:

  (a)   the * notional written down value of the asset or the * undeducted pre - existing audited book value of the asset (depending on the choice made for the asset); and

  (b)   the amount of any incidental costs to the purchaser in acquiring the asset.

58 - 75   Meaning of notional written down value

Cost and acquisition time: exempt Australian government agency

  (4)   If the * transition entity or the * tax exempt vendor was an * exempt Australian government agency just before the * transition time and had acquired the * privatised asset from another exempt Australian government agency:

  (a)   assume that the transition entity or tax exempt vendor acquired it at the time when it was acquired or constructed by the other exempt Australian government agency and that the first element of its * cost to the transition entity or tax exempt vendor is the amount that was its cost to the other exempt Australian government agency; or

  (b)   if it had, before its acquisition by the transition entity or tax exempt vendor, been successively * held by 2 or more exempt Australian government agencies--assume that:

  (i)   the transition entity or tax exempt vendor acquired it at the time when it was acquired or constructed by the first of those exempt Australian government agencies that owned it; and

  (ii)   the first element of its cost to the transition entity or tax exempt vendor is the sum of the amount that was the first element of its cost to the first of those exempt Australian government agencies that owned it and any amount included in the second element of its cost for that first agency or a later successive agency.

Effective life

  (5)   Assume that:

  (a)   the * transition entity or the * tax exempt vendor had chosen to use an * effective life determined by the Commissioner for the * privatised asset as in force at the * transition time or the * acquisition time; and

Cost

  (4)   Assume that:

  (a)   the first element of the * privatised asset's * cost to the * transition entity or the * tax exempt vendor is its * pre - existing audited book value as at the latest time (the test time ) at which it had a pre - existing audited book value; and

  (b)   no amount was included in the second element of the asset's cost before the test time; and

  (c)   any amount included in the second element of the asset's cost after the test time had been incurred by the transition entity or the tax exempt vendor.

Acquisition time

  (5)   Assume that the * transition entity or the * tax exempt vendor had acquired the * privatised asset at the test time.

Effective life

  (6)   Assume that:

  (a)   the * transition entity or the * tax exempt vendor had chosen to use an * effective life determined by the Commissioner for the * privatised asset as in force at the * transition time or the * acquisition time; and

  (b)   subsection 40 - 95(2) did not apply.

  (7)   Assume also that section   40 - 110 (about recalculating effective life) did not apply.

58 - 85   Pre - existing audited book value of depreciating asset

  (1)   A * privatised asset has a pre - existing audited book value if:

  (a)   a balance sheet, as at the end of an annual accounting period (the balance date ), that was prepared as part of an * exempt entity's final accounts for that period showed the asset as an asset of the exempt entity and specified a value for it; and

  (b)   a qualified independent auditor who was engaged, or was required by law, to undertake an audit of those accounts had prepared and signed, before 4   August 1997, a final audit report on those accounts; and

  (c)   the report did not state that the auditor was not satisfied that the specified value fairly represented the value of the asset.

The asset is taken to have had a pre - existing audited book value at the balance date of an amount equal to the specified value.

  Gayle sells the print to Anna for $700 on 2   January 2002.

  How much can Gayle deduct for the 2001 - 02 income year?

  The cost of the print is $450. Gayle chooses to use the prime cost method to calculate its decline in value.

  The print's decline in value is:

  = $31

  Gayle can deduct $6 as the taxable use portion of the decline in value under Division   40:

  Due to the balancing adjustment event that occurred on 2   January 2002, $54 is included in Gayle's assessable income for the 2001 - 02 income year under section   40 - 285. The amount is reduced for non - taxable use by section   40 - 290.

Example:   In 1999 Simon bought a small factory. In 2000 a fire destroys part of it. He receives $100,000 under an insurance policy.

  The capital gain is worked out under section   112 - 30.

  Suppose the factory's cost base at the time of the fire is $75,000 and the market value of the part that is not destroyed is $150,000. The cost base of the part that is destroyed is:

  The capital gain is:

  Case 1

  Suppose Simon spent $80,000 on repairing the factory. The money he received under the insurance policy exceeds the repair cost by $20,000. The gain exceeds that by $50,000.

  The result is that the gain is reduced to $20,000 and the $80,000 he spent on repairs is reduced to $30,000.

  Case 2

  Suppose Simon spent $15,000 on repairs instead. The money he received under the policy exceeds that amount by $85,000. This is more than the gain he made.

  The gain is relevant to working out Simon's net capital gain or loss for the income year and the $15,000 he spent on repairs forms part of the factory's cost base.

  Case 3

  Suppose Simon spent $120,000 on repairs instead. The gain is disregarded and the $120,000 is reduced to $50,000.

Note 1:   The roll - over consequences are set out in Subdivision   124 - A.

Note 2:   This section provides a roll - over for a depreciating asset in the limited circumstances where Subdivision   124 - J cannot because a quasi - ownership right over land covers situations that a Crown lease does not (for example, an easement over land).
