How to work out a pre-CGT factor for assets of joining entity
SECTION 705-125
Pre-CGT proportion for joining entity
Object
705-125(1)
Because intra-group
*
membership interests in the joining entity are disregarded under subsection
701-1(1)
(the single entity rule), the object of this section is to provide a mechanism to ensure that the benefit of the pre-CGT status of those interests is not lost. That mechanism involves:
(a)
working out the proportion (measured by market value) of the membership interests in the joining entity that have pre-CGT status; and
(b)
if the joining entity later ceases being a member of the group, attaching pre-CGT status to that proportion of membership interests in it (see section
711-65
), subject to integrity rules (see section
711-70
).
History
S 705-125(1) amended by No 56 of 2010, s 3 and Sch 5 item 19, by substituting all the words from and including

Application provision

(a)
if the head company of the group makes a choice in accordance with subitems (2) and (3)
-
1 July 2002; or
(b)
otherwise
-
the day on which the Bill that became this Act was introduced into the House of Representatives.
(2)
A choice mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) must be made:
(a)
on or before 30 June 2011; or
(b)
within a further time allowed by the Commissioner.
(3)
A choice mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) must be made in writing.
The words formerly read:
That mechanism involves working out a factor by which the pre-CGT status can be attached to the joining entity
'
s assets and then recognised in membership interests held in an entity that owns the assets on ceasing to be a
*
subsidiary member of the joined group.
How to work out pre-CGT proportion
705-125(2)
The
pre-CGT proportion
is the amount worked out by dividing:
(a)
the sum of the *market value of each *membership interest in the joining entity that is:
(i)
held by a *member of the group at the joining time; and
(ii)
is a *pre-CGT asset;
by:
(b)
the sum of the market value of each membership interest in the joining entity that is held by a member of the group at the joining time.
History
S 705-125(2) substituted by No 56 of 2010, s 3 and Sch 5 item 20, effective 3 June 2010. For application provision, see note under section
705-125(1)
. S 705-125(2) formerly read:
Pre-CGT factor to be worked out for certain assets
705-125(2)
A
pre-CGT factor
is worked out under this section for each asset of the joining entity at the joining time, other than one that, in accordance with
*
accounting standards, is a current asset.
Note:
A pre-CGT factor is not worked out for current assets because they would, in the ordinary course of operations of the joining entity, be consumed or disposed of within 12 months.
705-125(3)
(Repealed by No 56 of 2010)
History
S 705-125(3) repealed by No 56 of 2010, s 3 and Sch 5 item 20, effective 3 June 2010. For application provision, see note under section
705-125(1)
. S 705-125(3) formerly read:
How to work out pre-CGT factor
705-125(3)
The pre-CGT factor is the amount (not exceeding 1) worked out by dividing:
(a)
the sum of:
(i)
for each
*
membership interest in the joining entity held by the
*
head company that is a
*
pre-CGT asset of the head company
-
the interest
'
s
*
market value at the joining time; and
(ii)
for each membership interest in the joining entity held by a
*
subsidiary member that has a pre-CGT factor
-
the interest
'
s market value at the joining time multiplied by its pre-CGT factor;
by:
(b)
the sum of the market values, at the joining time, of all the joining entity
'
s assets for which a pre-CGT factor is to be worked out.
Note:
The treatment of membership interests in an entity ceasing to be a member of the joined group as pre-CGT assets of members of the group could be manipulated to produce too many pre-CGT assets if the pre-CGT factor of an asset were not limited to 1 by the above subsection.
Modification if joining entity is a trust
705-125(4)
If the joining entity is a trust, a
*
membership interest in it is not taken into account under subsection (2) unless the membership interest is either a unit or an interest in the trust.
