SECTION 719-725   Additional alteration times for head company of MEC group  

Additional alteration times based on section 719-280

719-725(1)    
The time when a ^* potential MEC group ceases to exist is an alteration time in respect of the ^* head company of a ^* MEC group if, just before that time, the potential MEC group's membership was the same as the membership of the MEC group.

Note:

The alteration times in subsections (1), (2) and (3) are based on the events described in subsections 719-280(2) , (3) and (4), each of which causes the test company referred to in section 719-280 to be assumed to fail the continuity of ownership test in section 165-12 .

719-725(2)    
If something:

(a) happens at a time in relation to ^* membership interests in one or more of these entities:

(i) a company that was just before that time a ^* member of a ^* MEC group and an ^* eligible tier-1 company of the ^* top company for the MEC group;

(ii) an entity interposed between a company described in subparagraph (i) and the company that was the top company for the group just before that time; and

(b) does not cause the ^* potential MEC group whose membership is the same as the membership of the MEC group to cease to exist, but does cause a change in the identity of the top company for the potential MEC group;

that time is an alteration time in respect of the ^* head company of the ^* MEC group.

719-725(3)    
The time when a ^* MEC group ceases to exist because there ceases to be a ^* provisional head company of the group is an alteration time in respect of the ^* head company of the ^* MEC group.

If Subdivision 719-K (MEC group cost setting rules: pooling cases) applies, the time just before the trigger time referred to in paragraph 719-555(1)(a) is an alteration time in respect of the ^* head company of the ^* MEC group.
