126-60(1)    

A *capital gain the originating company makes from the trigger event is disregarded.

Consequences for the recipient company (disposal case)

126-60(2)    
For a disposal case, if the originating company *acquired the roll-over asset on or after 20 September 1985:

(a) the first element of the asset ' s *cost base (in the hands of the recipient company) is the asset ' s cost base (in the hands of the originating company) when the recipient company acquired it; and

Under section 716-855 , where there have been certain roll-overs, the cost base and reduced cost base of pre-CGT assets for the purposes of Part 3-90 (Consolidated groups) are worked out by applying subsection (2), rather than subsection (3), of this section.
