SECTION 820-220   Amount of debt deduction disallowed  

820-220(1)    


If subparagraph 820-185(1A)(b)(i) applies, the amount (the total disallowed amount) disallowed under subsection 820-185(1) of the *debt deductions of an entity for an income year is the amount by which those debt deductions 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 .


820-220(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) .

820-220(3)    


If subparagraph 820-185(1A)(b)(ii) applies, the amount of a * debt deduction of an entity for an income year disallowed under subsection 820-185(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 820-185(3) ; and


(b) the average value, for that year, of the entity ' s *cost-free debt capital that is covered by step 4 of that method statement.

debt deduction
means each *debt deduction of the entity for that year.

excess debt
means the amount by which the *adjusted average debt (see subsection 820-185(3) ) exceeds the entity ' s *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 .
