SECTION 220-405   Franked distribution and supplementary dividend flowing indirectly  

220-405(1)    
This section has effect if:


(a) an *NZ franking company:


(i) makes a *franked distribution; and

(ii) pays a supplementary dividend (as defined in section OB1 of the Income Tax Act 1994 of New Zealand) in connection with the franked distribution; and


(b) the franked distribution and the supplementary dividend *flow indirectly to an entity (the recipient ) in an income year because the recipient is a partner in a partnership or a beneficiary or trustee of a trust; and


(c) the recipient is entitled under section 207-45 to a *tax offset in connection with the *distribution; and


(d) the recipient is entitled to a tax offset under Division 770 for the income year because of the distribution.


(e) (Repealed by No 83 of 2004)



Recipient that is a partner or beneficiary

220-405(2)    


If the *franked distribution *flows indirectly to the recipient under subsection 207-50(2) or (3), then:


(a) the recipient can deduct an amount for the income year that is equal to so much of its share of the supplementary dividend as does not exceed:


(i) if the distribution flows indirectly to the recipient under subsection 207-50(2) - the recipient ' s individual interest in relation to the distribution that is mentioned in that subsection; or

(ii) if the distribution flows indirectly to the recipient under subsection 207-50(3) - the recipient ' s share amount in relation to the distribution that is mentioned in that subsection; and


(b) the recipient ' s *tax offset under section 207-45 is reduced by so much of the deduction under paragraph (a) as does not exceed its *share of the *franking credit on the distribution.



Recipient that is a trustee

220-405(3)    


If the *franked distribution *flows indirectly to the recipient under subsection 207-50(4) , then:


(a) the share amount mentioned in that subsection in relation to the distribution is reduced by so much of the recipient ' s share of the supplementary dividend as does not exceed that share amount; and


(b) the recipient ' s *tax offset under section 207-45 is reduced by so much of the reduction under paragraph (a) as does not exceed its *share of the *franking credit on the distribution.



What happens if certain provisions apply

220-405(4)    


Subsection (2) or (3) (as appropriate) does not apply to the recipient in relation to the *franked distribution if one or more of the following provisions also apply to the recipient in relation to the distribution:


(a) subsection 207-95(1) ;


(b) subsection 207-95(5) ;


(c) subsection 207-150(1) ;


(d) subsection 207-150(5) .


220-405(5)    


If subsection 207-90(5) or 207-150(5) would also apply to the recipient in relation to the *franked distribution, apply that subsection on the basis that:


(a) the amount of the recipient ' s *share of the *franking credit on the distribution;

had been reduced by:


(b) so much of the recipient ' s share of the supplementary dividend as does not exceed the amount of that share of the franking credit.



When does a supplementary dividend flow to an entity?

220-405(6)    


A supplementary dividend flows indirectly to an entity if it would have *flowed indirectly to the entity under subsection 207-50(2) , (3) or (4), if:


(a) the dividend had been a *franked distribution; and


(b) a reference in that subsection to the entity ' s *share of the franked distribution had been a reference to the entity ' s share of the supplementary dividend.



Share of supplementary dividend

220-405(7)    


The entity ' s share of the supplementary dividend is worked out as follows:


Amount of the
supplementary
dividend
× Entity ' s *share
  of the *franked distribution  
Amount of the *franked distribution
 


220-405(8)    


Nothing in this section has the effect of including in the entity ' s assessable income its share of the supplementary dividend.
