SECTION 542 STEP 2
-
CALCULATION OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT FUND INCOME
542(1)
The second step in the procedure is to work out under this section the amount of any foreign investment fund income in relation to the taxpayer in respect of the relevant period.
542(2)
If:
(a)
there is, under section
540
, any gross foreign investment fund income in relation to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of the relevant period; and
(b)
that gross foreign investment fund income exceeds the total of any unapplied previous foreign investment fund losses incurred by the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of a notional accounting period or notional accounting periods before the relevant period;
the following provisions have effect.
542(3)
If no election is made under subsection
538(4)
in relation to the FIF, the excess referred to in paragraph (2)(b) is to be converted to the corresponding amount in Australian currency in accordance with the rate of exchange applicable at the end of the relevant period.
History
S 542(3) amended by No 18 of 1993.
542(4)
Foreign investment fund income equal to that corresponding amount is taken to have accrued to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of the relevant period.
542(5)
The reference in paragraph (2)(b) to an unapplied foreign investment fund loss incurred by the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of a notional accounting period before the relevant period is a reference to so much of the undeducted amount of a foreign investment fund loss under section
541
that was incurred by the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of any such notional accounting period as exceeds the sum of the amounts (if any) worked out under the following paragraphs in respect of each referable notional accounting period of the FIF:
(a)
if paragraph (b) does not apply to the referable notional accounting period concerned
-
any amount that under section
540
was gross foreign investment fund income in relation to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of that period; or
(b)
if the operative provision did not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the referable notional accounting period concerned, or the application of the operative provision to the taxpayer in respect of that period was affected, because of any of Divisions 2 to 9 and 11 to 15:
(i)
any amount that under section
540
would have been gross foreign investment fund income in relation to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of that period; or
(ii)
any amount by which the amount that under section
540
was gross foreign investment fund income in relation to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of that period would have been increased; or
(iii)
any amount by which the amount that under section
541
was a foreign investment fund loss in relation to the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of that period would have been reduced;
if the operative provision had applied to the taxpayer in respect of that period or the application of the operative provision to the taxpayer in respect of that period had not been so affected, as the case may be.
542(6)
In subsection (5):
"undeducted amount"
, in relation to a foreign investment fund loss, means so much of that loss as has not been allowed, and is not allowable, as a deduction under section
532
from the taxpayer's assessable income of any year of income preceding the year of income in which the relevant period ends;
"referable notional accounting period"
, in relation to a FIF, means a notional accounting period of the FIF that occurred after the notional accounting period in which the foreign investment fund loss was incurred and before the relevant period.
542(7)
In calculating under subsection (5) the extent (if any) to which a foreign investment fund loss that was incurred by the taxpayer from a FIF in respect of a notional accounting period is an unapplied previous foreign investment fund loss, an amount worked out under paragraph (5)(a) or subparagraph (5)(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) does not include any part of that amount that has been, or is to be, taken into account in calculating the extent to which a foreign investment fund loss under section
541
that was incurred by the taxpayer from the FIF in respect of a notional accounting period before the first-mentioned notional accounting period was an unapplied previous foreign investment fund loss.
542(8)
For the purposes of applying subsections (5), (6) and (7) in working out the amount of an unapplied previous foreign investment fund loss, if any amount that is to be taken into account under any of those subsections in relation to a notional accounting period is not expressed in the same currency as the gross foreign investment fund income mentioned in paragraph (2)(a), the amount is to be converted to the corresponding amount in that currency in accordance with the rate of exchange applicable at the end of that notional accounting period.
