Section D: Thin capitalisation

Question 30

This question provides us with information as to whether the thin capitalisation rules affect you.

You may be excluded from the requirement to apply the thin capitalisation provisions in subdivision 820-B, 820-C, 820-D or 820-E of the ITAA 1997 if one of the following applies:

• you and all of your relevant associate entities have total debt deductions of $2 million or less for the income year under section 820-35 of the ITAA 1997.
• you satisfy section 820-37 of the ITAA 1997.

If one of the above exclusions apply, answer No at A item 30.

If the thin capitalisation rules in subdivision 820-B, 820-C, 820-D or 820-E of the ITAA 1997 applied to you, answer Yes at A item 30.

For more information about the thin capitalisation rules, see Thin capitalisation.

Question 31

This question is relevant if you are an Australian resident company that has elected under subdivision 820-FB of the ITAA 1997 to treat their qualifying branch operations as part of a consolidated group, multiple entry consolidated (MEC) group or single company for thin capitalisation purposes.

If you carry on qualifying Australian branch operations that your related Australian consolidated group, MEC group or single company has elected under subdivision 820-FB of the ITAA 1997 to treat as part of itself for thin capitalisation purposes, you will not be required to complete the remaining thin capitalisation questions. This is because the questions must be completed in the return of the head company or the single company on the basis of including your branch operations.

If an Australian resident company has elected under subdivision 820-FB of the ITAA 1997 to treat your qualifying Australian branch operations as part of its consolidated group, MEC group or single company for thin capitalisation purposes, answer Yes at A item 31 and write the ABN of the electing Australian company at B item 31 and then go to question 40.

If you do carry on qualifying Australian branch operations that are not treated as part of a consolidated group, MEC group or single company by reason of the operation of subdivision 820-FB, you must complete the following thin capitalisation questions for the branch operations.

Question 32

This question ascertains your thin capitalisation entity type at the end of the year.

The thin capitalisation rules apply differently depending on an entity's type. To work out how the thin capitalisation rules apply to a particular entity we need to know which category the entity belongs to.

If your type of thin capitalisation entity changed during the year, you only need to complete section D for the type of thin capitalisation entity you were at the end of the income year or relevant period.

To complete this question, ascertain your entity code from the table below.

At A, write the code which represents the type of thin capitalisation entity you are at the end of the income year or relevant period. If you do not know what type of entity you are, see the relevant provisions in Division 820 of the ITAA 1997.

Non-authorised deposit-taking institution (Non-ADI)

Code	Type
1	Outward investor (general) under subsections 820-85(2) and 820-583(2) and is not also an inward investment vehicle (general) under subsections 820-185(2) and 820-583(5)
2	Outward investor (financial) under subsections 820-85(2) and 820-583(3) and is not also an inward investment vehicle (financial) under subsections 820-185(2), 820-583(6) and 820-609(6)

10	Inward investment vehicle (financial) under subsections 820-185(2), 820-583(6) and 820-609(6) and is also an outward investor (financial) under subsections 820-85(2) and 820-583(3)

ADI

Code	Type
7	Outward investing entity (ADI) under subsections 820-300(2), 820-583(7), 820-587 and 820-609
8	Inward investing entity (ADI) under subsections 820-395(2) and 820-609(4)

Question 33

This question ascertains if you have changed your entity status from general to financial during the income year.

The thin capitalisation provisions categorise non-ADI entities as either:

• a kind of financial entity (covered by code 2, 4,6 or 10) or
• a kind of general entity (covered by code 1, 3,5 or 9).

See the above table of thin capitalisation entity types.

If you have changed your entity type for thin capitalisation from general to financial during the income year, answer Yes at A item 33.

For more information about the different types of thin capitalisation entities, see the provisions in the table of thin capitalisation entity types.

Question 34

This question seeks to ascertain your method for calculating average values.

At A item 34, write the code from the table below that represents the type of averaging method you used for calculating 'average values'.

Type of averaging method used for calculating 'average values'

Code	Averaging method used
1	Opening and closing balances method under section 820-635
2	Three measurement days method under section 820-640
3	Frequent measurement (quarterly) method under subsection 820-645(2)

Section E: Financial services entities

Question 40

This question needs to be completed by qualifying foreign banks and financial entities to which Part IIIB of the ITAA 1936 applies (and have not elected out of Part IIIB).

The dollar amounts or values asked for in this question are all based on your tax records.

If you are a foreign bank or a qualifying foreign financial entity that carries on business operations through an Australian branch, and you have not made an election under section 160ZZVB of the ITAA 1936 that Part IIIB not apply, then the rules in Part IIIB of the ITAA 1936 apply.

For the purposes of Part IIIB of the ITAA 1936 the following terms are defined in section 160ZZV of the ITAA 1936:

• Australian branch in relation to a foreign bank, means a permanent establishment in Australia through which the bank carries on banking business
• foreign bank means a body corporate that is a foreign authorised deposit taking institution (ADI) for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959
• financial entity and foreign entity both have the meaning given in section 995-1 of the ITAA 1997.

If you are a foreign bank or other qualifying financial entity which has not elected out of Part IIIB of the ITAA 1936, answer Yes at A item 40 and complete the following.

At B, write the amount of your average quarterly notional borrowings within the meaning of subsection 160ZZZ(1) of the ITAA 1936. This is calculated by adding up your notional borrowings determined under subsection 160ZZZ(1) at the end of each quarter in your financial year and dividing it by four.
