Notice of Withdrawal

Taxation Determination TD 94/32 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. TD 94/32 addresses the question of whether the transfer of any rights, or an interest in any rights, under a life insurance policy to a person other than the original beneficial owner for no amount of money or other consideration will invoke the operation of subsection 160ZH(9) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936), which deems consideration to be the market value, for the purposes of subsection 160ZZI(3) of the ITAA 1936.

2. The question in TD 94/32 is now addressed in Example 2 of subsection 118-300(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

3. Accordingly, TD 94/32 is no longer current and is therefore withdrawn.
