Special instructions for showing balances of borrowings, loans and other debt interests

For loans/borrowings, trade financing and other kinds of debt interests under Division 974 of the ITAA 1997, the average quarterly balance of the loan/borrowing or other debt interest during the income year is calculated in the same way as quarterly balances of borrowings and loans shown at Item 11a of the IDS.

Only positive amounts should be reported for average debt balances at Question 18 (LCMSF210). For example, any debt balance shown in your accounts as a negative amount for an IRPD inbound borrowing should be reported as a positive amount equivalent to the average debt balance for the debt interests issued (including ordinary borrowings).

Where you have a series of borrowing or loan drawdowns in the same currency under the same terms in a loan agreement you report this as a single OBL, or other debt interest, transaction. You won’t need to apply the RAS rules to do this. You should aggregate those separate drawdowns and the interest payments during the income year for the purposes of determining:

• the average balance you show for the OBL, or other debt interest, transaction at Question 18 (Average balance of debt interests issues for inbound borrowings) or Question 20 (Average balance of debt interests held for outbound loans)
• the amounts you show for Expenditure and/or Capitalised interest deducted for the OBL, or other debt interest, transaction at Questions 16 and 19
• the amounts you show for Revenue and/or Capitalised interest returned for the OBL, or other debt interest, transaction at Questions 17 and 21.

More detail about how to calculate and show the average quarterly balance of loans, borrowings and other debt interests at Questions 18 and 20 is provided below.

Do not show your gains or losses from trading in bonds or other financial assets or liabilities at IRPD debt interests (including ordinary loans and borrowings).
