SECTION 124-784 Cost base of equity or debt given by acquiring entity to ultimate holding company  
Purpose

124-784(1)
This section allocates an appropriate *cost base to equity issued, or new debt owed, by an acquiring entity under the *arrangement to the *ultimate holding company where the cost base of an original interest was transferred or allocated under section 124-782 because the original interest holder is a *significant stakeholder or a *common stakeholder for the arrangement.

Allocation of cost base

124-784(2)
The first element of the *cost base of the equity or debt for the *ultimate holding company is that part of the cost base of the original interest transferred or allocated under section 124-782 as:

(a) may be reasonably allocated to the equity or debt; and

(b) is not more than the *market value of the equity or debt just after the arrangement was completed.

No capital gain on debt repayment

124-784(3)
Any *capital gain of the *ultimate holding company from the repayment of new debt owed by an acquiring entity under the *arrangement is disregarded to the extent that it relates to the difference between the part of the *cost base transferred or allocated under section 124-782 and the *market value of the debt just after the arrangement was completed.

Note:

If the debt is assigned or exchanged, there may be a capital gain.
