Subdiv 160-D formerly read:
Subdivision 106-D
-
Security holders
SECTION 106-60 Acts by security holders
106-60
This Part and Part 3-3 apply to an act done by an entity (or an *agent of the entity) in relation to a *CGT asset for the purpose of enforcing or giving effect to a security, charge or encumbrance the entity holds over the asset as if the act had been done instead by the person who provided the security.
Example:
A lender sells property under a power of sale after the failure of the owner of the property to make payments on the loan. Any capital gain or loss is made by the owner of the property, not the lender.

SECTION 106-60
Securities, charges and encumbrances
106-60(1)
For the purposes of this Part and Part
3-3
(about capital gains and losses) and Subdivision
328-C
(What is a small business entity):
(a)
the vesting of a *
CGT asset
in an entity is ignored, if:
(i)
the vesting is for the purpose of enforcing, giving effect to or maintaining a security, charge or encumbrance over the asset; and
(ii)
the security, charge or encumbrance remains over the asset just after the vesting; and
(b)
a CGT asset is treated as vesting in an entity at the time a security, charge or encumbrance ceases to be over the asset, if:
(i)
the entity holds the asset just after that time because the asset vested in the entity at an earlier time; and
(ii)
that earlier vesting was ignored under paragraph (a) because it was for the purpose of enforcing, giving effect to or maintaining the security, charge or encumbrance.
106-60(2)
This Part, Part
3-3
and Subdivision
328-C
apply to an act done by an entity (or an *
agent
of the entity) in relation to a *
CGT asset
for the purpose of enforcing, giving effect to or maintaining a security, charge or encumbrance over the asset as if the act had been done by the entity that provided the security (instead of by the first-mentioned entity or its agent).
Example:
A CGT asset of a borrower vests in a lender as security for a loan. No CGT event happens as a result of the vesting.
If the borrower fails to make payments on the loan and the lender sells the CGT asset under the security arrangement, any capital gain or loss is made by the borrower, not the lender.
