Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
SECTION 328-250 Deductions for assets first used in BAE year 328-250(1)
This section applies in working out the amount that the transferor or transferee can deduct for the BAE year under subsection 328-180(1) (assets costing less than $1,000) or subsection 328-190(2) (assets that will be pooled) for a *depreciating asset that the transferor or transferee started to use, or have *installed ready for use, for a *taxable purpose during the BAE year.
Note:
This threshold may be affected by section 328-180 (about temporary increased access to accelerated depreciation) or 328-181 (about temporary full expensing) of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 .
Asset first used by transferor
328-250(2)
If the asset was first used or *installed ready for use by the transferor, the amount that can be deducted under subsection 328-180(1) or 328-190(2) for the asset for the BAE year is split equally between:
(a) the transferor and the transferee; or
(b) if there are 2 or more occurrences of *balancing adjustment events for relevant entities for the BAE year and a roll-over is chosen for each occurrence - the entities concerned.
Asset first used by transferee
328-250(3)
If the asset was first used or *installed ready for use by the transferee:
(a) the transferor cannot deduct anything for the asset for the BAE year; and
(b) the amount that can be deducted under subsection 328-180(1) or 328-190(2) for the asset for the BAE year is:
(i) deductible by the transferee; or
(ii) if there are 2 or more occurrences of *balancing adjustment events for relevant entities for the BAE year and a roll-over is chosen for each occurrence - split equally between the entities concerned (except ones that did not use the asset or have it installed ready for use).
Example:
To continue the example from section 328-247 , the transferee buys an asset on the 150th day of the BAE year for $800.
On the 250th day of the year, Evan joins the transferee partnership. The new transferee partnership is a small business entity for the BAE year, and chooses to use this Subdivision for that year, and a further roll-over is chosen.
The original transferor cannot deduct anything for the asset. The original transferee (now a transferor) and the new transferee can deduct $400 each.
Special rule for assets costing less than $1,000
328-250(4)
Subsection (5) applies if:
(a) the transferor started to use, or have *installed ready for use, an asset of a kind mentioned in paragraph 328-180(1)(b) during the BAE year; and
(b) a *balancing adjustment event occurs for that asset before the BAE day.
Note:
This threshold may be affected by section 328-180 (about temporary increased access to accelerated depreciation) or 328-181 (about temporary full expensing) of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 .
328-250(5)
