SECTION 715-70   Assets of subsidiary member that become those of head company  

715-70(1)    
At the time (the formation time ) when an entity becomes a ^* subsidiary member of a ^* consolidated group, a loss denial pool of the ^* head company of the group is created if:

(a) the formation time is not a ^* changeover time for the head company; and

(b) the entity is a chosen transitional entity under Division 701 of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 ; and

(c) subsection (2) or (4) of this section is satisfied.

Note 1:

If the entity is a chosen transitional entity, section 701-15 of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 prevents:

• section 701-10 (cost to head company of assets of joining entity); and

• subsection 701-35(4) (setting value of trading stock at tax-neutral amount);

of this Act from applying to the entity ' s assets in relation to the formation time.

Note 2:

The pool is distinct from any other loss denial pool of the head company, for example, one created under this section because another entity becomes a subsidiary member of the group at the formation time.

Joining entity has 165-CC tagged assets

715-70(2)    
This subsection is satisfied if:

(a) a ^* CGT asset of the entity, or each of 2 or more CGT assets of the entity:

(i) is a ^* 165-CC tagged asset of the entity at the formation time; and

(ii) was owned by the entity at the ^* changeover time; and

(iii) is not a ^* membership interest in a ^* member of the group; and

(iv) is not a right or option (including a contingent right or option), created or issued by a member of the group, to acquire such a membership interest; and

(v) is not constituted by a liability owed to the entity by a member of the group at the formation time; and

(b) the entity ' s ^* final RUNL just before the formation time (as reduced by any reductions under section 715-50 or 715-55 ) was greater than nil; and

(c) the entity does not satisfy the *business continuity test for:

(i) the period (the business continuity test period ) consisting of the entity ' s ^* trial year; and

(ii) the time (the test time ) just before the ^* changeover time.

Note:

Paragraph (2)(b) has the effect that if the entity has 165-CC tagged assets that are affected by section 715-50 or 715-55 (because they are membership interests in, or accounting liabilities owed by, another group member), those sections are applied before this section.

715-70(3)    
When it is created because of subsection (2), the pool consists of the one or more ^* CGT assets referred to in paragraph (2)(a), and its loss denial balance is equal to the ^* final RUNL referred to in paragraph (2)(b).

Note:

170-D deferred losses on 165-CC tagged assets of the head company may be added to the pool by subsection 715-355(2) .

Entity has loss denial pool

715-70(4)    
This subsection is satisfied if, just before the formation time, the entity had a ^* loss denial pool.

715-70(5)    
When it is created because of subsection (4), the ^* head company ' s loss denial pool:

(a) consists of the one or more ^* CGT assets of which the entity ' s ^* loss denial pool consisted; and

(b) has a loss denial balance equal to the ^* loss denial balance of the entity ' s loss denial pool;

just before the formation time.
