CHAPTER 3 - SPECIALIST LIABILITY RULES  

PART 3-90 - CONSOLIDATED GROUPS  

Division 705 - Tax cost setting amount for assets where entities become subsidiary members of consolidated groups  

Subdivision 705-C - Case where a consolidated group is acquired by another  

Application and object

SECTION 705-175   Application and object of this Subdivision  

Application

705-175(1)    
This Subdivision applies if all of the ^* members of a ^* consolidated group (the acquired group ) become members of another consolidated group (the acquiring group ) at a particular time (the acquisition time ) as a result of the ^* acquisition of ^* membership interests in the ^* head company of the acquired group.

Object

705-175(2)    
The object of this Subdivision is:

(a) to modify the rules in Division 701 (the core rules) to complement the treatment of the acquired group as a single entity that applied before the acquisition time; and

(b) to modify Subdivision 705-A (which basically determines the tax cost setting amount for assets of an entity joining a consolidated group) to ensure that the ^* tax cost setting amount for assets of the acquired group that become those of the acquiring group reflects the cost to the latter group of acquiring the former.
