SECTION 330-1 (ARCHIVE)   Converting pre-19 July 1982 general mining and petroleum expenditure into allowable capital expenditure under the new law  

330-1(1)   [Expenditure under old diminishing value provisions]  

If, apart from this section, you would have been entitled to a deduction in respect of expenditure for the 1997-98 income year or a later income year under any of the old diminishing value provisions, you are not entitled to that deduction.

330-1(2)   [ New ACE ]  

Instead, the total of that expenditure, less the total of any amounts you have already deducted in respect of that expenditure for income years before 1997-98, is taken to be allowable capital expenditure ( new ACE ) incurred by you in the 1997-98 income year.

330-1(3)   [Incurring new ACE ]  

If the old diminishing value provision that would have given rise to the deduction is in Subdivision A (General mining) of Division 10 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, then the new ACE is taken to have been incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining).

If, on the other hand, it is in Division 10AA (Prospecting and mining for petroleum) of that Part, then the new ACE is taken to have been incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining.

330-1(4)   [ Old diminishing value provisions ]  

The old diminishing value provisions are:

Item	In Subdivision A (General mining) of Division 10 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936	In Division 10AA (Prospecting and mining for petroleum) of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

SECTION 330-5 (ARCHIVE)   Converting post-19 July 1982 general mining and petroleum expenditure, and post-15 August 1989 quarrying expenditure, into allowable capital expenditure under the new law  

330-5(1)   [ New ACE ]  

If:

(a) in the 1996-97 income year or an earlier income year you incurred allowable capital expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122DG(1), 122JE(1) or 124ADG(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ( old capital expenditure ); and

(b) at the end of the 1996-97 income year an amount of that expenditure is unrecouped (worked out under subsection 122DG(4), 122JE(3) or 124ADG(4) of that Act (as appropriate));

that amount is taken to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 1997-98 income year ( new ACE ).

330-5(2)   [Years remaining affected]  

In working out how much of that new ACE is deductible for the 1997-98 income year or a later income year, the calculation (under paragraph 330-100(2)(a), (3)(a) or (4)(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) of the years remaining is affected.

330-5(3)   [Calculation of remaining years]  

Take away from the number you get after doing that calculation the number of income years before the 1997-98 income year for which you deducted or, apart from the operation of subsection 122DG(6), 122JE(5) or 124ADG(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (as appropriate) would have deducted, an amount in respect of that old capital expenditure.

SECTION 330-10 (ARCHIVE)   Converting old excess pre-1 July 1975 general mining exploration or prospecting deductions into allowable capital expenditure under the new law  

330-10(1)   [Exploration or prospecting expenditure]  

If, at the end of the 1996-97 income year, there are excess amounts of expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, that expenditure is taken to be exploration or prospecting expenditure incurred by you in the 1997-98 income year.

330-10(2)   [Not deductible]  

But you cannot deduct that expenditure under section 330-15 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in the 1997-98 income year or a later income year.

330-10(3)   [Deemed allowable capital expenditure]  

Instead, in the first income year after the 1996-97 income year in which you carry on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining) that expenditure is taken to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in that year. You can then write it off in that income year and later income years under section 330-80 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

SECTION 330-15 (ARCHIVE)   Reducing your unrecouped expenditure in the year you derive exempt income from the sale of rights to mine

(b) in relation to that area, any excess amounts of expenditure referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 have become allowable capital expenditure incurred in the sale year or an earlier income year;

your unrecouped expenditure for the purposes of section 330-105 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as at the end of the sale year is reduced by an amount referred to in subsection (2).

330-15(2)   [Calculation of reduction]  

The amount is so much of those excess amounts as you have not deducted and that you cannot deduct in the sale year. However, the amount of the reduction cannot exceed the amount of the exempt income.

SECTION 330-20 (ARCHIVE)  

330-20   Reducing your unrecouped expenditure in a year later than the year you derive exempt income from the sale of rights to mine  
If:

(a) in the 1997-98 income year or a later income year (the sale year ) you derive, from the sale, transfer or assignment of your rights to mine in a particular area in Australia, an amount that is exempt income because of section 330-60 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and

(b) in relation to that area, there are excess amounts of expenditure referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that have not become allowable capital expenditure incurred in the sale year or an earlier income year; and

(c) those excess amounts become allowable capital expenditure incurred in an income year after the sale year (the conversion year );

your unrecouped expenditure for the purposes of section 330-105 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as at the end of the conversion year is reduced by so much of those amounts as does not exceed the amount of exempt income.

Note:

This ensures that you can deduct amounts for the 1998-99 income year and later income years under Subdivision 387-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for expenditure on establishing a horticultural plant, even if an entity did or can deduct amounts for one or more income years before the 1998-99 income year under Division 10F of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for the expenditure.

387-195(2)

387-410(1)    
In applying subsection 387-410(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to work out whether you can deduct an amount under Subdivision 387-F of that Act for your expenditure, disregard any amount that you have deducted, or can deduct, for that expenditure under section 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

Note:

This ensures that you can deduct amounts under Subdivision 387-F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the 1997-98 income year and later income years, even if you did or can deduct amounts for your expenditure under section 70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for one or more income years before the 1997-98 income year.

The purpose of this section is to ensure that the amount of capital expenditure you must take into account for the purposes of working out the amount of a deduction under Subdivision 387-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 is the same as the amount of your capital expenditure taken into account as a basis for working out a deduction under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

387-470(2)    
This section applies if, before the 1997-98 income year, you incurred capital expenditure (the original expenditure ) on an access road or a timber mill building for which you did or can deduct an amount for an income year before the 1997-98 income year under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

(i) what was your residual capital expenditure for the road or building for the purposes of section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 immediately after you incurred the original expenditure; or

(ii) if you incurred the original expenditure before the first income year for which you could deduct an amount for it - what was your residual capital expenditure for the road or building for the purposes of section 124F or 124JA of that Act at the start of that first income year; and

(b) you are taken to have incurred the base amount:

(i) when you incurred the original expenditure; or

(ii) if you incurred the original expenditure before the first income year for which you could deduct an amount for it - at the start of that first income year.

Note:

Your residual capital expenditure mentioned in subparagraph (3)(a)(i) will equal your capital expenditure (as affected by section 124H or 124JC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936) if you incurred the original expenditure on construction of an access road after the 1955-56 income year, or on construction of a timber mill building after the 1962-63 income year.

387-470(4)    
Despite subsection (3), if before the 1997-98 income year:

(b) you stopped using the road for the purpose for which it was primarily and principally constructed; and

SECTION 387-472 (ARCHIVE)   Treatment of deductions for income years before 1997-98  

387-472(1)    
If you deducted, or can deduct, an amount for an income year (the old law year ) before the 1997-98 income year under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for your expenditure on an access road or a timber mill building:

(a) you are taken to have deducted that amount for the old law year under Subdivision 387-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (which allows deductions for the 1997-98 income year and later income years for expenditure on forestry roads and timber mill buildings), as if that Subdivision had applied to assessments for the old law year; and

(b) the amount is taken not to have been deducted or be deductible under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

387-472(2)    
This section applies only for the purposes of Subdivision 387-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

SECTION 387-485 (ARCHIVE)   How the balancing adjustment is affected if there has only been old roll-over relief  

387-485(1)    
If:

(a) before the 1997-98 income year, roll-over relief was available under section 124GA or section 124JD of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in relation to the disposal of an access road or a timber mill building by a taxpayer (the transferor ) to another taxpayer (the transferee ); and

(b) in the 1997-98 income year or a later income year:

(i) the road or building is destroyed; or

(ii) the transferee disposes of it in circumstances where Subdivision 41-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (which sets out Common rule 1 dealing with roll-over relief for related entities) does not apply to the disposal; or

(iii) for some other reason, the transferee stops using it for the purpose for which it was primarily and principally constructed or acquired; and

(c) there has been no earlier disposal of the road or building where roll-over relief was available under Common rule 1;

the balancing adjustment is affected in 2 ways.

387-485(2)    
First:

(a) the total amounts deductible by the transferor under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in relation to the road or building; or

(b) if there have been 2 or more prior applications of section 124GA or 124JA of that Act in relation to the road or building - the total amounts deductible by the prior transferors under section 124F or 124JA of that Act in relation to the road or building;

are taken to have been deductible by the transferee under Subdivision 387-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to the road or building.

387-485(3)    
Second:

(a) the transferor's total capital expenditure (of a kind that qualified for a deduction under section 124F or 124JA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936) relating to the road or building; or

(b) if there have been 2 or more prior applications of section 124GA or 124JD of that Act - the prior transferors' total capital expenditure (of a kind that qualified for a deduction under section 124F or 124JA of that Act) relating to the road or building;

is taken to have been the transferee's total capital expenditure (of a kind that qualified for a deduction under Subdivision 387-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) relating to the road or building.

SECTION 387-505 (ARCHIVE)  

387-505   Application of Common rule 1 to disposal of road or building under new law  
If:

(a) you deducted or can deduct amounts for capital expenditure relating to an access road or a timber mill building under Division 10A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (except section 124J of that Act) for the 1996-97 income year or an earlier income year; and

(b) in the 1997-98 income year or a later income year you dispose of the road or building;

Subdivision 41-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (which sets out Common rule 1 dealing with roll-over relief for related entities) applies as if:

(c) a reference in that Common rule to the rules for the capital allowance included a reference to that Division (except section 124J); and

(d) that Common rule had applied to any disposal of the road or building during or before the 1996-97 income year for which roll-over relief was available under section 124GA or 124JD of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

SECTION 387-507 (ARCHIVE)   Transitional provision for certain non-arm's length transactions  

387-507(1)

(b) the entity disposes of the road or building during the 1997-98 income year or a later income year in a transaction in which the parties do not deal at arm's length; and

(c) under the transaction the entity receives an amount less than the market value of what the amount is for; and

(d) subsection 41-65(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not apply;

the entity is taken to have received that market value for the disposal.

387-507(2)    
In determining whether the parties to the transaction dealt at arm's length, consider any connection between them, as well as any other relevant circumstance.

Division 400 - Environmental impact assessment and environmental protection  

SECTION 400-10 (ARCHIVE)   Application of Subdivision 400-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997  

400-10(1)    
Subdivision 400-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to assessments for the 1998-99 income year and later income years, in relation to expenditure incurred on or after 12 March 1991.

400-10(2)    
To work out the amount (if any) you can deduct under that Subdivision for expenditure you incurred before the 1998-99 income year, use the amount of that expenditure that you were allowed to use to work out your deductions under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for income years before the 1998-99 income year.

Note:

This means that you cannot get a deduction under that Subdivision for expenditure that you recouped before the 1997-98 income year.

SECTION 400-20 (ARCHIVE)   Deductions under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936  
Deductions under section 82BB do not prevent deductions under Subdivision 400-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

400-20(1)    
In applying section 400-20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to work out whether you can deduct an amount under Subdivision 400-A of that Act for expenditure, disregard any possibility of deducting an amount for the expenditure under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

Note:

This ensures that you can deduct amounts under Subdivision 400-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the 1998-99 income year and later income years, even if you can deduct amounts under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for one or more income years before the 1998-99 income year.

Saving of deductions under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

400-20(2)    
Subdivision 400-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not affect a deduction under section 82BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for the 1997-98 income year or an earlier income year.

SECTION 400-50 (ARCHIVE)  

400-50   Application of Subdivision 400-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

Subdivision 400-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to the use of property in the 1998-99 income year and later income years.

Division 405 - Above-average special professional income of authors, inventors, performing artists, production associates and sportspersons  

SECTION 405-1 (ARCHIVE)   Application of Division 405 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

Division 405 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies for the purposes of assessments for the 1998-99 income year and later income years.

405-1(2)    
It applies for the purposes of your assessment as if:

(a) for each income year earlier than the 1998-99 income year you had a taxable professional income equal to your eligible taxable income (if any) under Division 16A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for that earlier income year; and

(b) you had been an Australian resident for each income year before the 1998-99 income year for which you were a qualifying resident taxpayer under Division 16A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

PART 3-90 - CONSOLIDATED GROUPS  

Division 701 - Modified application provisions of Income Tax Assessment Act for certain consolidated groups formed in 2002-3 and 2003-4 financial years  

Subdivision 701-B - Modified application provisions  

SECTION 701-30 (ARCHIVE)   Undistributed, untaxed pre-formation profits of non-chosen transitional entities - adjustment to allocable cost amount and tax cost setting amount reduction for over-depreciated assets  
Section only applies to transitional groups formed at certain times

701-30(1)    
This section applies if the day on which the transitional group comes into existence is before 1 July 2003 or is both:

(a) the first day of the first income year of the head company starting after 30 June 2003; and

(b) before 1 July 2004.

Section only applies to non-chosen transitional entities in such groups

701-30(1A)    
This section applies to each transitional entity in the transitional group, other than a chosen transitional entity. This is so even if there are no chosen transitional entities at all.

Increase in step 3 of allocable cost amount on group formation

701-30(2)    
The amount to be added under section 705-90 (step 3 of allocable cost amount) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in working out the transitional group's allocable cost amount for the transitional entity is increased by the additional undistributed profits (the step 3 untaxed profits increase ) that would form part of the step 3 amount under that section if:

(a) subsections (3) and (4) of that section were disregarded; and

(b) it were a requirement of that section that, if any additional undistributed profits resulting from paragraph (a) of this subsection were distributed as dividends just before the group came into existence, the head company and each other transitional entity interposed between the head company and the transitional entity would be entitled to a rebate of income tax under section 46 or 46A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 on the dividends.

Note:

If an entity interposed between the head company and the transitional entity is a non-fixed trust, this subsection may involve determining how a power of appointment would have been exercised. Section 713-50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (applying because of section 700-1 of this Act) lists matters to have regard to in determining this.

Creation of, or increase in, tax deferral amount

701-30(3)    
For the purposes of applying section 705-50 (reduction in tax cost setting amount for over-depreciated assets) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to an asset of the transitional entity that becomes that of the head company under subsection 701-1(1) of that Act when the transitional group comes into existence:

(a) if, before the transitional group came into existence, the transitional entity paid any dividends to which paragraph 705-50(2)(b) of that Act applies - the tax deferral amount in relation to the dividends under subsection 705-50(3) of that Act is increased by the amount worked out under subsection (4) of this section; and

(b) if paragraph (a) does not apply - the transitional entity is taken to have paid dividends to which paragraph 705-50(2)(b) of that Act applies and there is taken to be a tax deferral amount in relation to the dividends under subsection 705-50(3) of that Act whose amount is worked out under subsection (4) of this section.

Amount for purposes of paragraphs (3)(a) and (b)

701-30(4)    
The amount for the purposes of paragraphs (3)(a) and (b) is equal to the amount that would have been the step 3 untaxed profits increase if the undistributed profits constituting that increase were also required to satisfy the following requirements:

(a) the profits were not subject to income tax because of deductions for the asset's decline in value;

(b) the decline in value represented the over-depreciation of the asset;

(c) the deductions for the decline in value do not form part of a tax loss covered by the step 5 amount mentioned in step 5 in the table in section 705-60 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in working out the transitional group's allocable cost amount for the transitional entity.

If Division 16F or 16G of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 would have applied to an entity for a period that is all or a part of an income year that begins before 1 July 2001, then, despite the repeal of that Division, it continues to apply to that entity for that period.

SECTION 820-20 (ARCHIVE)  

820-20   Transitional provision - application of section 389 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936  
If Division 16F or 16G of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 continues to apply to an entity for a period under section 820-15, section 389 of that Act applies to that entity for that period as if that section has not been amended by the New Business Tax System (Thin Capitalisation) Act 2001.

(b) that income year begins before 1 July 2002 and ends before 30 June 2003;

the entity may, for the purposes of that application, choose to use the value of a particular matter as at the end of that period as if it were the average value of that matter for that period.

Note:

This means that the entity may, for that period, apply subsection (1) instead of calculating an average value in accordance with Subdivision 820-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

820-25(2)    
However, an entity making that choice must apply subsection (1) throughout that period for every matter for which an average value is required to be calculated for the purposes of that Division's application to that entity.

820-25(3)    
This section alters the effect of that Division accordingly.

820-30(2)    
If:

(a) the group is an outward investing entity (ADI) for that income year, or section 820-565 of that Act applies Subdivision 820-D of that Act to the group for that income year as if it were an outward investing entity (ADI); and

(b) apart from this section, a day on which the group did not include at least one entity that is an ADI would be a measurement day for the group under section 820-645 of that Act;

that day is treated as not being such a measurement day.

820-30(3)    
If:

(a) section 820-575 of that Act applies Subdivision 820-E of that Act to the group for that income year as if it were an inward investing entity (ADI); and

(b) apart from this section, a day on which the group did not include at least one Australian permanent establishment through which a foreign bank carries on its banking business in Australia would be a measurement day for the group under section 820-645 of that Act;

that day is treated as not being such a measurement day.

SECTION 820-35 (ARCHIVE)   Transitional provision - transitional debt interests  

820-35(1)

the interest must be treated as an equity interest for the purposes of applying that Division to that entity at that time.

What happens if there is an election

820-35(3)    
Subsections (4) to (6) apply if the issuer of the interest elects under paragraph 118(6)(b) of Schedule 1 to the New Business Tax System (Debt and Equity) Act 2001 to have that paragraph apply to the interest.

820-35(4)    
For the purposes of applying Division 820 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 at any time during the transitional period to an entity that is the issuer of the interest at that time, the interest must be treated as a debt interest at that time.
