SECTION 701-40   When entity leaves transitional group, head company may choose, for purposes of transitional group ' s allocable cost amount, to increase terminating values of over-depreciated assets

This section applies if an entity ceases to be a subsidiary member of the transitional group and the requirements of subsections (2) to (4) are satisfied.

Asset held at leaving time

701-40(2)    
Just before the entity ceases to be a subsidiary member, it must, disregarding subsection 701-1(1) (the single entity rule) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , hold an asset.

Reduction of asset ' s tax cost setting amount for over-depreciation

701-40(3)    
When the transitional group came into existence:

(a) the asset must have become that of the head company of the transitional group because subsection 701-1(1) of that Act applied in relation to a transitional entity; and

(b) former section 705-50 of that Act must have reduced by an amount (the reduction amount ) the tax cost setting amount for the asset.

Asset held continuously within group

701-40(4)    
The asset must, disregarding subsection 701-1(1) of that Act, have been held at all times by the head company or a subsidiary member of the transitional group from when the transitional group came into existence until the entity ceases to be a subsidiary member of the transitional group.

701-40(5)
