Preamble

This Addendum forms part of the Determination but is not a 'public ruling' in terms of Part IVAAA of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. Taxation Rulings TR 92/1 and TR 97/16 together explain when a Determination is a public ruling and how it is binding on the Commissioner.

ADDENDUM

This Addendum amends Taxation Determination TD 98/22 as follows:

Paragraph 6

Delete the formula for calculating the minimum yearly loan repayment and replace it with:

(Amount of the loan not repaid by the end of the previous year of income * Current year's benchmark interest rate) / remaining term of loan

1 - [1 / (1 + current year's benchmark interest rate)]

(100,000 * 0.067) / [ - [1 /(1 = 0.67]

= 24,193

Commissioner of Taxation
14 April 1999
