General provisions about loss denial pools

SECTION 715-160   How loss denial balance is applied to losses realised on assets in pool  

715-160(1)    
If, apart from this section, a loss would be ^* realised for income tax purposes by a ^* realisation event that happens to a ^* CGT asset when it is in a ^* loss denial pool of an entity, the loss is reduced by the lesser of:

(a) the amount of the loss; and

(b) the pool's ^* loss denial balance (as reduced by any previous reductions under section 715-130 or this subsection);

and the loss denial balance is reduced by the same amount.

715-160(2)    
Subsection (1) applies to ^* realisation events in the order in which they happen. If 2 or more happen at the same time, it applies to them in whichever order the entity determines.

715-160(3)    
Subsection (1) reduces a ^* loss denial balance after section 715-130 does, unless the ^* realisation event happens before the leaving time referred to in that section.
