SECTION 268-35   HOW TO ATTRIBUTE DEDUCTIONS TO PERIODS  

268-35(1)    
The trust ' s deductions for the income year are attributed to periods in the income year as follows.

268-35(2)    
The following deductions are attributed to each period in proportion to the length of the period:


(a) (Repealed by No 101 of 2006 )


(aa) deductions for the decline in value of a depreciating asset;

See Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 .


(b) (Repealed by No 101 of 2006 )


(c) deductions for expenditure, deductions for which are spread over 2 or more years, but not full year deductions (see subsection (5));


(d) deductions for expenditure of capital monies in connection with an Australian film.

See former section 124ZAFA .


268-35(3)    
All other deductions (except full year deductions) are attributed to periods as if each period were an income year.

Full year deductions are not attributed to any of the periods. They are brought in at a later stage of the process of calculating the trust ' s net income for the income year.

(c) deductions, so far as they are allowable under Division 8 (which is about deductions) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , because Subdivision H (Period of deductibility of certain advance expenditure) of Division 3 of Part III applies to the trust in relation to the income year;


(d) deductions allowable under Division 30 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ;


(e) deductions for payments of pensions, gratuities or retiring allowances under section 25-50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ;

See Subdivision 40-D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 .
