Capital shortfall   Average debt

where:

average debt
means the average value, for the income year, of all the *debt capital of the entity that gives rise to *debt deductions of the entity for that or any other income year (other than any debt capital that is attributable to any of the entity ' s *overseas permanent establishments).

capital shortfall
means the amount by which the *adjusted average equity capital of the entity for that year (see subsection 820-300(3) ) is less than the entity ' s *minimum capital amount for that year.

debt deduction
means each *debt deduction covered by subsection 820-300(1) .

Note:

The disallowed amount also does not form part of the cost base of a CGT asset. See section 110-54 .
