(12)
If you make an election under subitem (2), balancing adjustments must be made under subitem (13).

(13)
Use the following method statement to make the balancing adjustments under this subitem: Balancing adjustment method statement

Step 1.

Work out the total of all the amounts that relate to the financial arrangements and that would have been included in your assessable income if Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 had applied to gains and losses from the arrangements from the time when you started to have them: the result is the notional assessable amount .

Step 2.

Work out the total of all the amounts that relate to the financial arrangements and that would have been allowable to you as deductions if that Division had applied to gains and losses from the arrangements from the time when you started to have them: the result is the notional deductible amount .

Step 3.

Work out the total of all the amounts that relate to the financial arrangements and have been included in your assessable income from the time when you started to have them: the result is the actual assessed amount .

Step 4.

Work out the total of all the amounts that relate to the financial arrangements and that have been allowable as deductions for you from the time when you started to have them: the result is the actual deducted amount .

Step 5.

Add the notional assessable amount to the actual deducted amount: the result is the step 5 amount .

Step 6.

Add the actual assessed amount to the notional deductible amount: the result is the step 6 amount .

Step 7.

Compare the step 5 amount with the step 6 amount. If the step 5 amount exceeds the step 6 amount, the excess is included in your assessable income as a balancing adjustment. If the step 6 amount exceeds the step 5 amount, the excess is allowable as a deduction as a balancing adjustment. If the step 5 amount and the step 6 amount are equal there is no balancing adjustment.

(14)
If:

(a) an amount is recorded in a deferred tax asset account in accordance with:

(i) accounting standard AASB 112 (or another accounting standard prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph); or

(ii) if that standard does not apply to the preparation of your financial reports - a comparable accounting standard that applies to the preparation of your financial reports under a foreign law;

immediately before the start of the first applicable income year; and

(b) the whole or a part of that amount (the attributable assessable amount ) is attributable to a financial arrangement referred to in subitem (2); and

(c) the method of relying on financial reports provided for in Subdivision 230-F applies to take account of a gain or loss you make from the financial arrangement; and

(ca) the attributable assessable amount represents the whole of the deferred tax effect of a gain or loss from the financial arrangement that has been recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the accounting principles mentioned in paragraph 230-395(2)(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ;

the following provisions have effect:

(d) the financial arrangement is to be disregarded for the purposes of steps 1 to 4 of the method statement in subitem (13); and

(e) the attributable assessable amount is to be reduced to the extent to which it represents unused tax credits and then grossed up under subitem (16); and

(f) the step 6 amount is to be increased by the amount obtained under paragraph (e).

Note:

The deferred tax effect to be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph (ca) might be affected by a later assessment, the amendment of an assessment or a law that applies retrospectively.

(15)
If:

(a) an amount is recorded in a deferred tax liability account in accordance with:

(i) accounting standard AASB 112 (or another accounting standard prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph); or

(ii) if that standard does not apply to the preparation of your financial reports - a comparable accounting standard that applies to the preparation of your financial reports under a foreign law;

immediately before the start of the first applicable income year; and

(b) the whole or a part of that amount (the attributable deductible amount ) is attributable to a financial arrangement referred to in subitem (2); and

(c) the method of relying on financial reports provided for in Subdivision 230-F applies to take account of a gain or loss you make from the financial arrangement; and

(ca) the attributable deductible amount represents the whole of the deferred tax effect of a gain or loss from the financial arrangement that has been recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the accounting principles mentioned in paragraph 230-395(2)(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ;

the following provisions have effect:

(d) the financial arrangement is to be disregarded for the purposes of steps 1 to 4 of the method statement in subitem (13);

(e) the attributable deductible amount is to be reduced to the extent to which it represents unused tax credits and then grossed up under subitem (16);

(f) the step 5 amount is to be increased by the amount obtained under paragraph (e).

Note:

The deferred tax effect to be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph (ca) might be affected by a later assessment, the amendment of an assessment or a law that applies retrospectively.

(16)
An amount is to be grossed up for the purposes of subitems (14) and (15) by multiplying the amount by:

1

Tax rate taken into account in working out the attributable assessable amount or attributable deductible amount

(17)
A balancing adjustment under subitem (13) is to be spread evenly over the first applicable income year and the next 3 income years.

(18)
In applying steps 1 and 2 in the method statement in subitem (13) to financial arrangements, assume that any election that extends to the arrangements under subitem (6) had applied to those financial arrangements from the time when you started to have them.

(19)
In applying section 121EH of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 , disregard any balancing adjustment under subitem (13).
