SECTION 975-300   Meaning of share capital account  

975-300(1)    
A company ' s share capital account is:

(a) an account that the company keeps of its share capital; or

(b) any other account (whether or not called a share capital account) that satisfies the following conditions:

(i) the account was created on or after 1 July 1998;

(ii) the first amount credited to the account was an amount of share capital.

975-300(2)    
If a company has more than one account covered by subsection (1), the accounts are taken, for the purposes of this Act, to be a single account.

Because the accounts are taken to be a single account (the combined share capital account ), tainting of any of the accounts has the effect of tainting the combined share capital account.
