  • The special rules for Reporting FX gains and losses for FCDPA in Appendix 7.

  1. Transaction Identifier

Show the Transaction ID for the transaction being reported.

(LCMSF31)

  1. Related Transaction Identifier(s)

Show all Transaction IDs that are related or directly connected to the transaction being reported.

For FDCPA transactions, related or directly connected transactions will include the underlying IRPD transaction/RAS which gives rise to the foreign currency payment obligation that was due and outstanding.

(LCMSF206)

  1. What is the transaction category?

Select the transaction category for the IRPD transaction.

(LCMSF32)

  1. Is this transaction part of a RAS?

Always indicate False.

The specific FCDPA transaction categories enable the reporting entity to include longer term FCDPA arising from more than one underlying IRPD transaction/RAS in a single reported FDCPA transaction if the underlying IRPD transactions/RAS are:

  • with the same IRP counterparty, and
  • of the same relevant type so all the FCDPA for the underlying IRPD transactions/RAS are covered by the same FCDPA transaction category.

For example, if the reporting entity has reported tangible goods purchased from the same IRP under two separate TPRN transactions/RAS, and there are longer term FCDPA during the income year for both of the reported TPRN transactions/RAS, the reporting entity may choose to report these FCDPAs as a single FCDPTTS transaction (Foreign currency deferred payment arrangement for purchase of Tangible Trading Stock) in Part A.

The specific FCDPA transaction categories do not allow longer term FCDPA for payments to an IRP under underlying IRPD transactions/RAS to be covered by the same FCDPA transaction category as longer term FCDPA for payments from the IRP under other IRPD transactions/RAS. For example, longer term FCDPA for payments owing by the reporting entity for tangible goods purchased from the IRP cannot be included in the same reported FCDPA transaction category as longer term FCDPA for payments owing to the reporting entity by the IRP for tangible goods sold to the IRP.

  1. What transfer pricing/capital asset pricing methodology has been applied to this transaction/RAS?

For a FCDPA transaction, Question 33 is referring to the FCDPA financing arrangement which results from deferral of payment of an amount of foreign currency owing under another underlying IRP transaction. Question 33 is not referring to the underlying non-financing IRPD transaction. For example, if there is a reported FCDPTTS transaction because there was a FCDPA for the sale price due and owing under an IRP commodity sale transaction, Question 33 is not referring to the IRP commodity sale transaction. It is instead referring to the financing arrangement which results from not satisfying the payment obligation.

(LCMSF46)

  1. What level of transfer pricing documentation has been prepared for this transaction/RAS?

The level of transfer pricing documentation refers to the aggregate dollar amount of this IRPD FCDPA transaction for which the reporting entity has prepared relevant transfer pricing documentation, expressed as a percentage of total dollar value of this transaction. It is not referring to transfer pricing documentation prepared for the underlying non-financing IRPD transaction. For example, if there is a reported FCDPTTS transaction because there was a FCDPA for the sale price due and owing under an IRP commodity sale transaction, Question 34 is not referring to transfer documentation for the IRP commodity sale transaction. It is instead referring to any transfer documentation for the financing arrangement which results from not satisfying the payment obligation.

1 = 0%

2 = 1% to less than 25%

3 = 25% to less than 50%

Otherwise indicate False.

(LCMSF63)

  1. Is this transaction/RAS covered by a category on the exclusions list?

Always indicate False.

For a FCDPA transaction, Question 39 is referring to the FCDPA financing arrangement which results from deferral of payment of an amount of foreign currency owing under another underlying IRP transaction. Question 39 is not referring to the underlying non-financing IRP transaction. For example, if there is a reported FCDPTTS transaction because there was a FCDPA for the sale price due and owing under an IRP commodity sale transaction, Question 39 is not referring to the IRP commodity sale transaction. It is instead referring to the financing arrangement which results from not satisfying the payment obligation.

The average quarterly balance of the amounts owing by Aus Co under these foreign currency deferred payment arrangements during the income year was A$9 million, reflecting the partial satisfaction of the amounts owing during the income year.

Aus Co has not applied a transfer pricing method to the foreign currency deferred payment arrangements.
