Appendix 3: Assessable foreign exchange gains and deductible foreign exchange losses for Australian income tax
If the reporting entity has returned foreign exchange gains or deducted foreign exchange losses for its relevant IRP transaction/RAS for Australian income tax purposes, you need to show the amounts returned and deducted at Questions 15 and 16 in Part A of the local file for the relevant IRP transaction/RAS.
This may include foreign exchange gains the reporting entity has returned and foreign exchange losses it has deducted during the income year for trade-related financial liabilities or receivables which may potentially arise if the reporting entity did not pay the IRP, or was not paid by the IRP, when the price for goods or fees for services are payable.
Examples include:
- foreign currency intercompany liabilities for amounts payable by the reporting entity for purchase of commodities from international related parties which are satisfied during the income year
- foreign currency intercompany receivables for amounts payable to the reporting entity for provision of services to international related parties which are satisfied during the income year.
Assessable foreign exchange gains and deductible foreign exchange losses for income tax purposes are determined under Division 775 of the ITAA 1997 or, if applicable, under the taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA) provisions in Division 230 of the ITAA 1997.
For more guidance on entities covered by TOFA and the operation of TOFA, refer to Guide to the taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA).
In other scenarios assessable foreign exchange gains and deductible foreign exchange losses are determined under the provisions in Subdivisions 775-B to 775-E and Subdivisions 960-C and 960-D of the ITAA 1997.
Foreign exchange gain refers to a foreign exchange gain attributable to fluctuations in a currency exchange rate you make as a result of a forex realisation event under the provisions.
Foreign exchange loss refers to a foreign exchange loss attributable to fluctuations in a currency exchange rate you make as a result of a forex realisation event under the provisions.
Under Subdivision 775-B of the ITAA 1997 there are five main types of forex realisation events:
- Forex realisation event 1 happens if you dispose of foreign currency, or a right to receive foreign currency, to another entity.
- Forex realisation event 2 happens if you cease to have a right to receive foreign currency (other than because you disposed of the right to another entity).
- Forex realisation event 3 happens if you cease to have an obligation to receive foreign currency.
- Forex realisation event 4 happens if you cease to have an obligation to pay foreign currency.
- Forex realisation event 5 happens if you cease to have a right to pay foreign currency.
There are also special rules:
- under Subdivision 775-C of the ITAA 1997, for rollover for facility agreements and special rules for securities issued under the facility agreements
- under Subdivision 775-D of the ITAA 1997, providing an election to disregard forex realisation events 2 and 4 for qualifying forex accounts not exceeding $250,000
- under Subdivision 775-E of the ITAA 1997, providing a choice to use the retranslation method for qualifying forex accounts instead of forex realisation events 2 and 4.
