Addendum

This Addendum amends Taxation Determination TD 2000/52 to reflect changes that were made to section 104-145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 by the Taxation Laws Amendment (2004 Measures No. 6) Act 2005.

The changes do not affect the answer to the issue raised in this Determination.

TD 2000/52 is amended as follows:

1. Paragraph 9:

Insert after Note 2 of Paragraph 9:

Note 3: The scope of CGT event G3 in section 104-145 was extended with effect from 22 March 2005. The event now happens if a liquidator or an administrator makes an appropriate written declaration in respect of valueless shares or financial instruments.

This Addendum applies on and from 22 March 2005.
