SECTION 820-115   Amount of debt deduction disallowed  

820-115(1)    


If subparagraph 820-85(1A)(b)(i) applies, the amount (the total disallowed amount ) disallowed under subsection 820-85(1) of the *debt deductions of an entity for an income year is the amount by which those debt deductions (to the extent that they are not attributable to an *overseas permanent establishment of the entity) exceed the entity ' s *third party earnings limit for the income year (see section 820-427A ).
Note:

The disallowed amount also does not form part of the cost base of a CGT asset. See section 110-54 .


820-115(2)    


The amount by which a particular * debt deduction is disallowed as a result of subsection (1) is worked out as follows:

(a)    first, divide the total disallowed amount by the * debt deductions of the entity for the income year;

(b)    next, multiply the amount of the particular debt deduction by the result of paragraph (a) .

820-115(3)    


If subparagraph 820-85(1A)(b)(ii) applies, the amount of a * debt deduction of an entity for an income year disallowed under subsection 820-85(1) is worked out using the following formula:


  Debt deduction   ×   Excess debt  
Average debt
 

where:

average debt
means the sum of:


(a) the average value, for the income year, of the entity ' s *debt capital that is covered by step 1 of the method statement in subsection 820-85(3) ; and


(b) the average value, for that year, of the entity ' s *cost-free debt capital that is covered by step 5 of that method statement;

(disregarding any amount that is attributable to the entity ' s *overseas permanent establishments in working out the average values).

debt deduction
means each *debt deduction covered by subsection 820-85(1) .

excess debt
means the amount by which the entity ' s *adjusted average debt for that year (see subsection 820-85(3) ) exceeds its *maximum allowable debt for that year.

Note:

The disallowed amount also does not form part of the cost base of a CGT asset. See section 110-54 .
