S 73E(3) substituted by No 77 of 2001 and No 121 of 1997.
73E(4) Subsection 73B(4) definition of qualifying plant expenditure not applicable to transferee.
Subsection 73B(4) does not apply to the transferee in relation to the unit.

If:
(a) immediately after the disposal took place, the transferee commences to use the unit exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf of the transferee of research and development activities; and
(b) apart from the disposal, there would have been an amount of qualifying plant expenditure in relation to the transferor in relation to:
(i) the year of income of the transferor in which the disposal took place; or
(ii) the first subsequent year of income of the transferor;
then:
(c) subject to subsection 73B(5) , section 73B and this section have effect as if an amount equal to that amount were taken:
(i) to have been incurred by the transferee in the acquisition of the unit; and
(ii) to be an amount of qualifying plant expenditure in relation to the transferee in relation to:
(A) if subparagraph (b)(i) applies - the year of income of the transferee in which the disposal took place; and

(d) a reference in subsection 73B(21) to the end of the second year of income after the year of income in which the transferee first used the unit exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf of the transferee of research and development activities is to be read as a reference to the end of the 3-year period commencing at the beginning of:
(i) the year of income in which the transferor first used the unit exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf of the transferor of research and development activities; or
(ii) if there have been 2 or more prior successive applications of this section - the earliest year of income in which a prior successive transferor first used the unit exclusively for the purpose of the carrying on by or on behalf of the prior successive transferor of research and development activities; and
(e) the reference in subsection 73B(22) to deductions having been allowed to the transferee under subsection 73B(15) in relation to the unit in respect of 3 years of income is to be read as a reference to deductions having been allowed to the transferee under subsection 73B(15) in relation to the unit in respect of 3 years of income, reduced by one year for each year of income for which a deduction was allowed or allowable under subsection 73B(15) to:
(i) the transferor in respect of the unit; or
(ii) if there have been 2 or more prior successive applications of this section - any of the prior successive transferors in respect of the unit.
73E(6) Modification of capital allowance provisions applicable to transferee.
If a deduction is or becomes allowable to the transferee for the decline in value of the unit, the provisions of Division 40 (Capital allowances) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 apply as if:
(a) the transferee had acquired the unit for a cost equal to the modified written-down value of the unit; and
(b) subsection 73B(21) and (22) had effect as if a reference in those subsections to the written-down value of the unit were a reference to the modified written-down value of the unit; and
(c) in relation to the year of income of the transferee in which the disposal took place, the component " days held " in the formula in section 40-70 or 40-75 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 included the number of days in that year when the transferor both:

If:
(a) after the disposal of the unit to the transferee, the unit is lost or destroyed or the transferee disposes of the unit; and
(b) in the case of a disposal by the transferee - this section does not apply to the disposal;
then, for the purposes of the application of subsection 73B(23) or (24) , as the case may be, in relation to the loss, destruction or disposal, those subsections have effect as if:
(c) a reference in those subsections to the written-down value of the unit were a reference to the modified written-down value of the unit; and
(d) a reference in those subsections, and in the definition of ineligible pilot plant amount in subsection 73B(1) , to the cost of the unit were a reference to:
(i) the cost of the unit to the transferor (worked out as if subsection 73B(6) had not been enacted); or
