SECTION 45-320   WORKING OUT INSTALMENT RATE  

45-320(1)    

Except as provided by section 45-775 , an instalment rate that the Commissioner gives you must be the percentage worked out to 2 decimal places (rounding up if the third decimal place is 5 or more) using the formula:

	Your *notional tax	× 100
	Base assessment instalment income

However, the instalment rate must be a nil rate if either component of the formula is nil.

45-320(2)    
For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

base assessment instalment income
means so much of your assessable income, as worked out for the purposes of the *base assessment, as the Commissioner determines is *instalment income for the *base year.

45-320(3)    
The base assessment is the latest assessment for your most recent income year for which an assessment has been made. However, if the Commissioner is satisfied that there is a later income year for which you do not have a taxable income, the base assessment is the latest return or other information from which an assessment for that income year would have been made.

45-320(4)    
The base year is the income year to which the *base assessment relates.

45-320(5)    
When the Commissioner gives you the instalment rate, he or she must also notify you of the amount of your *notional tax, as worked out for the purposes of working out the instalment rate.
