Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
View history note
Hide history noteNote: A Commissioner ' s Remedial Power (CRP 2017/2) is relevant to this part of the tax law. Taxation Administration (Remedial Power - Small Business Restructure Roll-over) Determination 2017 (F2017L01687) modifies the operation of s 40-340 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and any other provisions of a taxation law whose operation is affected by the modified operation of s 40-340 in relation to an asset transferred under a small business restructure roll-over (item 8 of the table in s 40-340(1) ).
The operation of the relevant provisions is modified as follows:
If s 40-340 of ITAA 1997 provides for rollover relief in relation to a disposal of a depreciating asset because the condition in item 8 of the table in s 40-340(1) of ITAA 1997 is satisfied in relation to the asset, that section has effect as if it also provided that the disposal of the asset has no direct consequences under the income tax law (other than Div 40 of ITAA 1997).
The modification applies in respect of transfers on or after 8 May 2018.
An entity must treat a modification as not applying to it or any other entity if the modification would produce a less favourable result for it. The Commissioner is empowered by s 370-5 of Sch 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to make modifications, by legislative instrument, to ensure the law is administered to achieve its intended purpose or object.
SECTION 40-103 Effective life and remaining effective life of certain vessels 40-103(1)
If, at a particular time, item 10 of the table in subsection 40-102(4):
(a) starts to apply to a vessel (whether or not that item has previously applied to the vessel); or
(b) ceases to apply to a vessel (whether or not that item subsequently applies to the vessel);
at that time the effective life of the vessel changes accordingly.
40-103(2)
If subsection (1) applies and the decline in value of the vessel is worked out using the * prime cost method, the remaining effective life of the vessel just after that time is:
| Unadjusted remaining effective life | × | Alternative effective life |
| Unadjusted effective life |
where:
alternative effective life
is:
(a) if that item starts to apply to the vessel at that time - what would have been the * effective life of the vessel just before that time if that item had applied to the vessel; or
(b) if that item ceases to apply to the vessel at that time - what would have been the effective life of the vessel just before that time if that item had not applied to the vessel.
unadjusted effective life
is what was the
*
effective life of the vessel just before that time.
unadjusted remaining effective life
is what was the
*
remaining effective life of the vessel just before that time.
Example:
Assume that item 10 of the table in subsection 40-102(4) ceases to apply to a vessel after having applied to the vessel for 7 years, and again starts to apply after another 4 years. Assume further that the effective life of a vessel of that kind has been determined under section 40-100 to be 20 years.
The remaining effective life of the vessel just before that item ceases to apply to the vessel is 3 years. Its alternative effective life is 20 years, and its unadjusted effective life is 10 years. Its remaining effective life just after that time is therefore 6 years.
The remaining effective life of the vessel just before that item again starts to apply to the vessel is 2 years. Its alternative effective life is 10 years, and its unadjusted effective life is 20 years. Its remaining effective life just after that time is therefore 1 year.
