Preamble

Draft Taxation Determinations (DTDs) present the preliminary, though considered, views of the Australian Taxation Office. DTDs should not be relied on; only final Taxation Determinations represent authoritative statements by the Australian Taxation Office.

1. No. TD 94/80 clarifies the operation of section 159GZZZZF of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the Act). That section modified, in respect of infrastructure borrowings, the statutory scheme contained in subsection 51(1) restricting the allowability of deductions incurred in earning exempt income.

2. TD 94/80 explains the Commissioner's view of how the law works in relation to infrastructure borrowings under the former scheme of tax concessions contained in Division 16L of the Act.

3. TD 94/80 has no application to the Land Transport Facilities tax offset scheme contained in Division 396 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
