Tax and Superannuation Laws Amendment (2014 Measures No. 4) Act 2014 (110 of 2014)

Schedule 1   Thin capitalisation

Part 7   Consequential amendments

Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

33   Subsection 820-110(2) (example)

Repeal the example, substitute:

Example: GLM Limited, a company that is an Australian entity, has an average value of worldwide debt of $120 million and an average value of worldwide equity of $40 million. The result of applying step 1 is therefore 3. Dividing 3 by 4 (through applying steps 3 and 4) and multiplying the result by $121 million (which is the result of step 7 of the method statement in subsection 820-100(2)) equals $90.75 million. The average value of zero-capital amount (see step 7 of the method statement in subsection 820-100(2)) is $4 million. Adding that amount to $90.75 million results in $94.75 million. As the company does not have any associate entity excess amount, the worldwide gearing debt amount is therefore $94.75 million.
