| Item | In this situation: | The rules about cost base and reduced cost base are modified in this way... |
| 1 | You *acquire shares in a company in exchange for the disposal of an *exchangeable interest, and the disposal of the exchangeable interest was to:
(a) the issuer of the exchangeable interest; or (b) a *connected entity of the issuer of the exchangeable interest. |
The first element of the *cost base of the shares is the sum of:
(a) the cost base of the exchangeable interest at the time of the disposal; and (b) any amount paid for the exchange, except to the extent that the amount is represented in the paragraph (a) amount; and (c) all the amounts to be added under subsection (2). The first element of their *reduced cost base is worked out similarly. |
| 2 | You *acquire shares in a company in exchange for the redemption of an *exchangeable interest. | The first element of the *cost base of the shares is the sum of:
(a) the cost base of the exchangeable interest at the time of the redemption; and |
| (b) any amount paid for the exchange, except to the extent that the amount is represented in the paragraph (a) amount; and | ||
| (c) all the amounts to be added under subsection (2). | ||
| The first element of their *reduced cost base is worked out similarly. |
130-105(2)
An amount is to be added under this subsection if a *capital gain on the disposal or redemption of the exchangeable interest has been reduced under section 118-20 . This is so even though a capital gain that is made on the disposal or redemption of the exchangeable interest is disregarded under subsection (4). The amount to be added is the amount of the reduction.

The payment for the exchange can include giving property (see section 103-5 ).
