SECTION 705-160   Adjustment to allocation of allocable cost amount to take account of owned profits or losses of certain entities that become subsidiary members  

Object

705-160(1)    
The object of this section is to prevent a distortion under section 705-35 in the allocation of ^* allocable cost amount to an entity that becomes a ^* subsidiary member of the group where that entity has direct or indirect ^* membership interests in another entity that has certain profits or tax losses when it becomes a subsidiary member.

Adjustment to allocation of allocable cost amount where direct interest in entity with profits/losses

705-160(2)    

If:

(a)    an entity becomes a ^* subsidiary member of the group at the formation time; and

(b)    the entity has ^* membership interests in a second entity that becomes a subsidiary member of the group at that time; and

(c)    

in working out the group ' s ^* allocable cost amount for the second entity:

(i) an amount is required to be added (the second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 3 in the table in section 705-60 (about profits accruing before becoming a subsidiary member of the group); or

(ii) an amount is required to be subtracted (also the second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 5 in the table in section 705-60 (about losses accruing before becoming a subsidiary member of the group); or

(iii) an amount is required to be subtracted (also the second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 5A in the table in section 705-60 (about *FRT disallowed amounts accruing to a joined group before the joining time);

then, for the purposes of working out under section 705-35 the ^* tax cost setting amount for the assets of the first entity, the ^* market value of the first entity ' s membership interests in the second entity is reduced (in a subparagraph (c)(i) case) or increased (in a subparagraph (c)(ii) or (iii) case) by the first entity ' s interest in the second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount (see subsection (3) ).

First entity ' s interest in second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount

705-160(3)    
The first entity ' s interest in the second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount is worked out using the formula:

*Market value of first entity ' s *membership interests                         in second entity                                   *Market value of all *membership interests in second entity

×

Second entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount

Adjustment to allocation of allocable cost amount for indirect interest in entity with profits/losses

705-160(4)    

If:

(a)    an entity becomes a ^* subsidiary member of the group at the formation time; and

(b)    the entity has ^* membership interests in a second entity that becomes a subsidiary member of the group at that time; and

(c)    the second entity has, directly or indirectly through one or more interposed entities that become subsidiary members of the group at the formation time, membership interests in a third entity that becomes a subsidiary member of the group at that time; and

(d)    

in working out the group ' s ^* allocable cost amount for the third entity:

(i) an amount is required to be added (the third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 3 in the table in section 705-60 (about profits accruing before becoming a subsidiary member of the group); or

(ii) an amount is required to be subtracted (also the third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 5 in the table in section 705-60 (about losses accruing before becoming a subsidiary member of the group); or

(iii) an amount is required to be subtracted (also the third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount ) under step 5A in the table in section 705-60 (about *FRT disallowed amounts accruing to a joined group before the joining time);

then, for the purposes of working out under section 705-35 the ^* tax cost setting amount for the assets of the first entity, the ^* market value of the first entity ' s membership interests in the second entity is reduced (in a subparagraph (d)(i) case) or increased (in a subparagraph (d)(ii) or (iii) case) by the first entity ' s interest in the third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount (see subsection (5) ).

First entity ' s interest in third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount

705-160(5)    

The first entity ' s interest in the third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount is worked out using the formula:

*Market value of first entity ' s membership interests in third entity held through second entity *Market value of all *membership interests in third entity

×

Third entity ' s profit/loss adjustment amount

where:

market value of first entity ' s membership interests in third entity held through second entity
means the ^* market value of all ^* membership interests in the third entity that the first entity holds indirectly through the second entity (including through that entity and one or more other entities that become ^* subsidiary members of the group and are interposed between the second entity and the third entity).
