Operative provisions
SECTION 707-210 Utilisation of certain losses transferred from a company depends on company that made the losses earlier
707-210(1)
This section has effect for the purposes of working out whether a company (the latest transferee ) can * utilise for an income year a loss it made because of a * COT transfer from a company (the latest transferor ).
707-210(1A)
A transfer of a loss under Subdivision 707-A from a company to a company is a COT transfer of the loss if the transfer occurs because:
(a)
the transferor meets the conditions in section
165-12
; and
(b)
the conditions in one or more of paragraphs
165-15(1)(a)
, (b) and (c) do not exist in relation to the transferor.
Meeting conditions in section 165-12
707-210(2)
The latest transferee is taken to meet the conditions in section
165-12
for the income year in relation to the loss if and only if the company (the
test company
) described in subsection (3) would have met those conditions for the income year had the circumstances described in subsection (4) existed.
Note 1:
The latest transferee and the test company may be the same company.
Note 2:
Section 707-405 may affect the income year for which the test company is treated as having made the loss, if the loss is referable to part of an income year.
707-210(3)
The test company is the first company to make the loss. However, if:
(a)
the loss was made by the latest transferor because of one or more earlier transfers of the loss under Subdivision
707-A
from a company to a company; and
(b)
one or more of those earlier transfers was
not
a
*
COT transfer;
the test company is the company to which the loss was transferred in the most recent transfer described in paragraph (b).
707-210(4)
The circumstances are that:
(a)
the test company was
not
treated by Subdivision
707-A
for the income year as not having made the loss; and
(b)
if the test company made the loss apart from that Subdivision and transferred the loss to itself under that Subdivision
-
the test company was
not
treated by that Subdivision for the income year as having made the loss for the income year in which the transfer occurred; and
(c)
nothing happened, after the time the loss was transferred from the test company to the
*
head company of a
*
consolidated group, to
*
membership interests or voting power:
(i) in an entity that was at that time a * subsidiary member of the group; or
that would affect whether the test company would meet the conditions in section 165-12 for the income year; and
(ii) in an entity that was at that time interposed between the test company and the head company;
(d)
if the loss has later been transferred under that Subdivision to the head company of another consolidated group
-
nothing happened, after the time of the later transfer, to membership interests or voting power:
(i) in the later transferor; or
that would affect whether the test company would meet the conditions in section 165-12 for the income year.
(ii) in an entity that was at that time interposed between the later transferor and the head company;
Failing to meet conditions in section 165-12
707-210(5)
The latest transferee is taken to fail to meet a condition in section 165-12 only at:
(a)
the first time the test company would have failed to meet the condition had the circumstances described in subsection (4) existed; or
(b)
the test time described in subsection
166-5(6)
for the test company, if Division
166
is relevant to working out whether the test company could have
*
utilised the loss had the circumstances described in subsection (4) existed.
Business continuity test applying to latest transferee under Division 166
707-210(6)
If subsection 166-5(5) affects whether the latest transferee can * utilise the loss for the income year because the latest transferee is a * widely held company or an * eligible Division 166 company, or both, during the year, subsection 166-5(6) operates as if it required the *business continuity test to be applied to the * business the latest transferee carried on just before the time described in subsection (5) of this section.
If the test company made the loss because of a transfer
707-210(7)
If the test company made the loss because of a transfer under Subdivision
707-A
from another entity, Divisions
165
and
166
operate in relation to the test company for the purposes of subsection (2) as if the test company
'
s
*
loss year started at the time of the transfer.
