(f) an entity that is a State/Territory body for the purposes of Division 1AB of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and whose income is exempt under that Division.
(4) If the entity concerned disposed of an interest in the plant rather than the plant (for a paragraph 45‑5(2)(b) case), instead of the amount worked out under the table in subsection (1) or (2), the entity uses so much of that amount as is attributable to that interest.
(5) If the entity concerned disposed of part of its interest in the plant rather than all of it (for a paragraph 45‑10(2)(b) case), instead of the amount worked out under the table in subsection (1) or (2), the entity uses so much of that amount as is attributable to that part of that interest.
## Part 2 ‑15—Non‑assessable income
(a) you have deducted or can deduct amounts for plant under Division 42 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the former Act) as in force just before it was amended by the New Business Tax System (Capital Allowances) Act 2001 and the New Business Tax System (Capital Allowances—Transitional and Consequential) Act 2001, or you could have deducted amounts under that Division for the plant if you had used it, or had it installed ready for use, for the purpose of producing assessable income before that day; and
(2) Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as amended by the New Business Tax System (Capital Allowances) Act 2001 and the New Business Tax System (Capital Allowances—Transitional and Consequential) Act 2001 (the new Act) applies to the plant on this basis:
(a) the amount that was your undeducted cost at the end of 30 June 2001 becomes the plant’s opening adjustable value; and
(b) you use the same cost, effective life and method that you were using under Division 42 of the former Act, or that you would have used if you had used the plant for the purpose of producing assessable income at the end of 30 June 2001; and
(c) if you excluded an amount from your assessable income under section 42‑290 of the former Act for a balancing adjustment event that occurred on or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999—the cost of the plant, and its opening adjustable value, are reduced by that amount; and
(d) if subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) applies to you—you are treated as the holder of the plant while you are its holder or while the circumstances under which you would have been the owner or quasi‑owner of the plant under the former Act continue.
(3) If you were using a rate for the plant under subsection 42‑160(1) or 42‑165(1) of the former Act just before 1 July 2001, or would have been using such a rate if you had used it, or had it installed ready for use, for the purpose of producing assessable income before that day, Division 40 of the new Act applies to the plant on this basis:
(a) for the diminishing value method—replace the component in the formula in subsection 40‑70(1) of the new Act that includes the plant’s effective life with the rate you were using; and
(i) replace the component in the formula in subsection 40‑75(1) of the new Act that includes the plant’s effective life with the rate you were using; and
(ii) increase the plant’s cost under Division 42 of the former Act by any amounts included in the second element of the plant’s cost after 30 June 2001.
> Note 1: Recalculating effective life will have no practical effect for an entity to whom subsection (3) applies because the component in the relevant formula that relies on effective life has been replaced.
> Note 2: Small business entities can choose to work out the decline in value of their depreciating assets under Division 328.
(a) you entered into a contract to acquire an item of plant before 1 July 2001 and you acquired it after 30 June 2001; or
(3) If you entered into the contract, or started to construct the plant, at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999, you replace the component in the formula in subsection 40‑70(1) or 40‑75(1) of the new Act that includes the plant’s effective life with the rate you would have been using if you had acquired it, or completed its construction, before 1 July 2001 and had used it, or had it installed ready for use, for the purpose of producing assessable income before that day.
(a) you entered into a contract to acquire the plant, you otherwise acquired it or you started to construct it before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999; and
(2) For a case where the plant is split into 2 or more depreciating assets, the new Act applies as if you had acquired the assets into which it is split before the time mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) while you continue to hold those assets.
(3) For a case where the plant is merged into another depreciating asset, section 40‑125 of the new Act does not apply to the asset, or to your interest in the asset, into which it is merged while you continue to hold it.
(b) you would have been using such a rate if you had used the asset, or had it installed ready for use, for the purpose of producing assessable income before that day.
(a) you have deducted or can deduct an amount for an IRU under Division 44 of the former Act or you would have been able to deduct an amount for it under that Division if you had used it for the purpose of producing assessable income before 1 July 2001; and
(a) you use the cost, effective life and method you were using under Division 44 of the former Act or that you would have used if you had used the IRU for the purpose of producing assessable income before 1 July 2001; and
(b) the amount that was your undeducted cost of the IRU at the end of 30 June 2001 becomes the IRU’s opening adjustable value.
(1) Despite its repeal by this Act, Division 46 of the former Act continues to apply to expenditure on software that you incurred and that was in a software pool under that Division at the end of 30 June 2001.
(2) For a unit of software for which you were deducting amounts under Subdivision 46‑B of the former Act or for which you could have deducted amounts under that Subdivision if you had used the software for the purpose of producing assessable income before 1 July 2001, Division 40 of the new Act applies to the unit on this basis:
(d) you must use the same effective life you were using under Subdivision 46‑B of the former Act or that you would have used if you had used the software for the purpose of producing assessable income before 1 July 2001.
(1) This section applies to you if you have deducted or can deduct an amount under Division 380 of the former Act for expenditure incurred in obtaining a spectrum licence on or before 30 June 2001 or you could have deducted an amount under that Division for that expenditure if you had used the licence for the purpose of producing assessable income on or before that day.
(b) its opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 is the amount of unrecouped expenditure for the licence at the end of 30 June 2001; and
(c) its effective life is 15 years less any period that has elapsed from the day the licence was issued until 1 July 2001; and
(1) This section applies to you if you have an amount of unrecouped expenditure under Division 330 of the former Act at the end of 30 June 2001.
> Note: Subsection (6) also applies to a case where you did not have unrecouped expenditure at 30 June 2001: see subsection (8).
(2) Division 40 of the new Act applies to the expenditure as if it were a depreciating asset (the notional asset) you hold on this basis:
(a) it has an opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 equal to the amount of unrecouped expenditure reduced by any deductions allowable under section 330‑80 of the former Act for your income year ending on 30 June 2001; and
(c) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for the income year in which 1 July 2001 occurs—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(3) The remaining effective life of the notional asset at the start of an income year (present income year) for which you are working out its decline in value is:
(a) for an amount of unrecouped expenditure in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations other than in the course of petroleum mining is the lesser of these:
(i) the number equal to the difference between 10 and the number of income years (which may be zero) before the present income year for which an amount in respect of expenditure was deductible;
(ii) the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the mine, or proposed mine, on the mining property, or, if there is more than one such mine, of the mine that has the longest estimated life, as at the end of the present income year; or
(b) for an amount of unrecouped expenditure in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining is the lesser of these:
(i) the number equal to the difference between 10 and the number of income years (which may be zero) before the present income year for which an amount in respect of expenditure was deductible;
(ii) the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the petroleum field or proposed petroleum field as at the end of the present income year; or
(c) for an amount of unrecouped expenditure in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible quarrying operations the lesser of these:
(i) the number equal to the difference between 20 and the number of income years (which may be zero) before the present income year for which an amount in respect of expenditure was deductible; and
(ii) the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the quarry, or proposed quarry, on the quarrying property, or, if there is more than one such quarry, of the quarry that has the longest estimated life, as at the end of the present income year.
(i) any of the unrecouped expenditure referred to in subsection (1) relates to property that is not a depreciating asset (the other property);
(ii) in the cessation year, the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose;
there is an additional decline in value of the notional asset for the cessation year equal to so much of the notional asset’s adjustable value as relates to the real asset or the other property and has not been taken into account in working out the amount of a balancing adjustment in relation to the real asset.
(6) If the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose, you must include in your assessable income:
(a) if the other property is sold for a price specific to that property—that price, less the expenses of the sale (to the extent the expenses are reasonably attributable to selling that particular property); or
(b) if the other property is sold with additional property without a specific price being allocated to it—the part of the total sale price, less the reasonably attributable expenses of the sale, that is reasonably attributable to selling the other property; or
(c) if the other property is lost or destroyed—the amount or value received or receivable under an insurance policy or otherwise for the loss or destruction; or
However, the amount included is reduced to the extent (if any) that it is also included under subsection 40‑830(6) of the new Act.
(7) If section 40‑115 of the new Act applies, or section 40‑125 of the new Act would, apart from this subsection, apply, to the real asset referred to in subsection (5) of this section, then:
(a) if the real asset is split into 2 or more depreciating assets and you stop holding, or stop using for a taxable purpose, one or more but not all of the assets into which it is split—subsection (5) does not apply to that asset or assets into which it is split that you continue to hold and continue to use for a taxable purpose; or
(b) if the real asset is merged into another depreciating asset—section 40‑125 does not apply to the asset into which it is merged while you continue to hold it.
(a) you did not have an amount of unrecouped expenditure under Division 330 of the former Act at the end of 30 June 2001, but you had an amount of unrecouped expenditure under that Division before 30 June 2001; and
(b) the expenditure would have been allowable capital expenditure, and you could have deducted an amount for it, under Division 330 of the former Act if you had incurred it before 1 July 2001; and
(2) Division 40 of the new Act applies to the expenditure as if it were a depreciating asset (the notional asset) you hold on this basis:
(b) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for the income year in which you incur the expenditure—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(3) The effective life of the notional asset at the start of an income year (present income year) for which you are working out its decline in value is:
(a) for an amount of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations other than in the course of petroleum mining—the lesser of 10 and the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the mine, or proposed mine, on the mining property, or, if there is more than one such mine, of the mine that has the longest estimated life, as at the end of the present income year; or
(b) for an amount of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining—the lesser of 10 and the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the petroleum field or proposed petroleum field as at the end of the present income year; or
(c) for an amount of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible quarrying operations—the lesser of 20 and the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the quarry, or proposed quarry, on the quarrying property, or, if there is more than one such quarry, of the quarry that has the longest estimated life, as at the end of the present income year.
(a) any of the expenditure referred to in subsection (1) relates to property that is not a depreciating asset (the other property);
(b) in an income year (the cessation year), the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose;
there is an additional decline in value of the notional asset for the cessation year equal to so much of the notional asset’s adjustable value as relates to the other property.
(6) If the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose, you must include in your assessable income:
(a) if the other property is sold for a price specific to that property—that price, less the expenses of the sale (to the extent the expenses are reasonably attributable to selling that particular property); or
(b) if the other property is sold with additional property without a specific price being allocated to it—the part of the total sale price, less the reasonably attributable expenses of the sale, that is reasonably attributable to selling the other property; or
(c) if the other property is lost or destroyed—the amount or value received or receivable under an insurance policy or otherwise for the loss or destruction; or
However, the amount included is reduced to the extent (if any) that it is also included under subsection 40‑830(6) of the new Act.
(i) you incurred the expenditure before that day but the grant of the mining authority concerned occurred on a day (the start day) after 30 June 2001; or
(ii) the grant of the mining authority concerned occurred before 30 June 2001 but you incurred the expenditure on a day (also the start day) after 30 June 2001.
(2) Division 40 of the new Act applies to the expenditure as if it were a depreciating asset (the notional asset) you hold on this basis:
(b) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for the income year in which the start day occurs—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(3) The effective life of the notional asset at the start of an income year (present income year) for which you are working out its decline in value is:
(a) for an amount of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations other than in the course of petroleum mining—the lesser of 10 and the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the mine, or proposed mine, on the mining property, or, if there is more than one such mine, of the mine that has the longest estimated life, as at the end of the present income year; or
(b) for an amount of expenditure incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining—the lesser of 10 and the number equal to the number of whole years in the estimated life of the petroleum field or proposed petroleum field as at the end of the present income year.
there is an additional decline in value of the notional asset for the cessation year equal to so much of the notional asset’s adjustable value as relates to the real asset and has not been taken into account in working out the amount of a balancing adjustment in relation to the real asset.
(6) If section 40‑115 of the new Act applies, or section 40‑125 of the new Act would, apart from this subsection, apply, to the real asset referred to in subsection (5) of this section, then:
(a) if the real asset is split into 2 or more depreciating assets and you stop holding, or stop using for a taxable purpose, one or more but not all of the assets into which it is split—subsection (5) does not apply to that asset or assets into which it is split that you continue to hold and continue to use for a taxable purpose; or
(b) if the real asset is merged into another depreciating asset—section 40‑125 does not apply to the asset into which it is merged while you continue to hold it.
(1) This section applies to you if you have deducted or can deduct an amount for transport capital expenditure in respect of a transport facility under Subdivision 330‑H of the former Act, or you could have deducted an amount for the expenditure under that Subdivision if you had started to use the facility for a qualifying purpose before 1 July 2001.
(2) Division 40 of the new Act applies to the expenditure as if it were a depreciating asset (the notional asset) you hold on this basis:
(a) it has an opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 equal to the total amount of transport capital expenditure under the former Act less the amounts you have deducted or can deduct for that expenditure under the former Act; and
(c) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for your income year in which 1 July 2001 occurs—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(d) it has an effective life at the start of 1 July 2001 equal to the years remaining for the expenditure under section 330‑395 of the former Act; and
(i) any of the transport capital expenditure referred to in subsection (1) relates to a depreciating asset (the real asset);
(i) any of the transport capital expenditure referred to in subsection (1) relates to property that is not a depreciating asset (the other property);
(ii) in the cessation year, the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose;
there is an additional decline in value of the notional asset for the cessation year equal to so much of the notional asset’s adjustable value as relates to the real asset or the other property and has not been taken into account in working out the amount of a balancing adjustment in relation to the real asset.
(5) If the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose, you must include in your assessable income:
(a) if the other property is sold for a price specific to that property—that price, less the expenses of the sale (to the extent the expenses are reasonably attributable to selling that particular property); or
(b) if the other property is sold with additional property without a specific price being allocated to it—the part of the total sale price, less the reasonably attributable expenses of the sale, that is reasonably attributable to selling the other property; or
(c) if the other property is lost or destroyed—the amount or value received or receivable under an insurance policy or otherwise for the loss or destruction; or
However, the amount included is reduced to the extent (if any) that it is also included under subsection 40‑830(6) of the new Act.
(6) If section 40‑115 of the new Act applies, or section 40‑125 of the new Act would, apart from this subsection, apply, to the real asset referred to in subsection (4) of this section, then:
(a) if the real asset is split into 2 or more depreciating assets and you stop holding, or stop using for a taxable purpose, one or more but not all of the assets into which it is split—subsection (4) does not apply to that asset or assets into which it is split that you continue to hold and continue to use for a taxable purpose; or
(b) if the real asset is merged into another depreciating asset—section 40‑125 does not apply to the asset into which it is merged while you continue to hold it.
(b) the expenditure would have been transport capital expenditure in respect of a transport facility, and you could have deducted an amount for it, under Subdivision 330‑H of the former Act if you had incurred it before 1 July 2001 and you had started to use the facility for a qualifying purpose before 1 July 2001; and
(2) Division 40 of the new Act applies to the expenditure as if it were a depreciating asset (the notional asset) you hold on this basis:
(b) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for your income year in which you incur the expenditure—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(d) it has an effective life when you incur the expenditure equal to the years remaining for the expenditure under section 330‑395 of the former Act; and
(a) any of the expenditure referred to in subsection (1) relates to property that is not a depreciating asset (the other property);
(b) in an income year (the cessation year), the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose;
there is an additional decline in value of the notional asset for the cessation year equal to so much of the notional asset’s adjustable value as relates to the other property.
(5) If the other property is disposed of, lost or destroyed, or you stop using it for a taxable purpose, you must include in your assessable income:
(a) if the other property is sold for a price specific to that property—that price, less the expenses of the sale (to the extent the expenses are reasonably attributable to selling that particular property); or
(b) if the other property is sold with additional property without a specific price being allocated to it—the part of the total sale price, less the reasonably attributable expenses of the sale, that is reasonably attributable to selling the other property; or
(c) if the other property is lost or destroyed—the amount or value received or receivable under an insurance policy or otherwise for the loss or destruction; or
However, the amount included is reduced to the extent (if any) that it is also included under subsection 40‑830(6) of the new Act.
(1) Despite subsections 40‑35(5), 40‑38(5) and 40‑40(4), there is no additional decline in the value of the notional asset referred to in those subsections if:
(a) apart from this section, subsection 40‑35(5), 40‑38(5) or 40‑40(4) would apply because the real asset referred to in that subsection is disposed of; and
(a) at the end of 30 June 2001, you hold an item of intellectual property referred to in the table in section 373‑35 of the former Act; and
(b) you have deducted or can deduct an amount for expenditure on the asset under Division 373 of the former Act or you could have deducted an amount under that Division for that expenditure if you had used the asset for the purpose of producing assessable income on or before that day.
(a) it has an opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 equal to its unrecouped expenditure under the former Act at the end of 30 June 2001; and
(1) Division 40 of the new Act does not apply to an IRU to the extent to which expenditure on the IRU was incurred at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999 (the IRU time).
(2) Division 40 of the new Act does not apply to an IRU over an international telecommunications submarine cable system if the system had been used for telecommunications purposes at or before the IRU time.
(a) you have deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 387‑G of the former Act for an amount (the qualifying amount) of expenditure on a forestry road or timber mill building or could have deducted an amount under that Subdivision if you had used the road or building for the purpose of producing assessable income; and
(a) it has an opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 equal to the qualifying amount less any amounts you have deducted or can deduct for it under the former Act; and
(b) in applying the formula in section 40‑75 of the new Act for your income year in which 1 July 2001 occurs—you use the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act; and
(e) you can recalculate its effective life if you conclude that your estimate is no longer accurate (except that the effective life cannot exceed 25 years); and
(1) This section applies to you if you have deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 400‑A of the former Act for an amount (the qualifying amount) of expenditure on or before 30 June 2001 on evaluating the impact on the environment of a project under Subdivision 400‑A of the former Act.
(a) it has an opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 equal to the qualifying amount less any amounts you have deducted or can deduct for it under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936; and
(c) it has an effective life equal to the number of years for which you could deduct for the qualifying amount worked out under subsection 400‑15(3) of the former Act; and
(1) Units of plant that you had allocated to a pool under Subdivision 42‑L of the former Act and that were allocated to the pool by 30 June 2001 are treated as a single depreciating asset for the purposes of Division 40 of the new Act.
(a) its cost and opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 is the closing balance of the pool for your income year in which 30 June 2001 occurred; and
(c) in applying the formula in section 40‑70 of the new Act for your income year in which 1 July 2001 occurs—it has a base value equal to that opening adjustable value; and
(d) you replace the component in the formula in subsection 40‑70(1) of the new Act that includes an asset’s effective life with the pool percentage you were using for the pool; and
(e) if an item of plant is removed from the pool because a balancing adjustment event occurs for the item or because of subsection (3) of this section, section 40‑115 of the new Act applies so that you are treated as having split the single depreciating asset into the removed asset and the remaining assets in the pool; and
(f) if an amount is included in the second element of the cost of a depreciating asset in the pool, Division 40 of the new Act applies as if that amount had been included in the second element of the cost of the single asset.
(3) An item of plant in the pool is automatically removed from the pool if you stop using it wholly for taxable purposes (except because a balancing adjustment event occurs for the item).
> Note 1: You work out the decline in value of an item removed under this subsection under Subdivision 40‑B of the new Act, using the cost for it worked out under section 40‑205 of the new Act.
(b) because of a provision of this Subdivision, uses Division 40 of the new Act to work out the decline in value of an asset, or of something that is treated as an asset.
(2) The entity works out its deductions for its income year that includes 1 July 2001 (the calculation year) in this way:
(a) the entity works out its deductions for that asset under the former Act as from the start of its calculation year up to the end of 30 June 2001 as if that period were an income year; and
(b) the entity works out the decline in value of the asset under Division 40 of the new Act from 1 July 2001 until the end of its calculation year as if that period were an income year in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
(a) for a unit of plant (including IRUs and expenditure on software that is not pooled)—its undeducted cost at the end of 30 June 2001; or
(b) for expenditure on eligible mining or quarrying operations, an item of intellectual property or a spectrum licence—the amount of unrecouped expenditure for the expenditure, item or licence under the former Act at the end of 30 June 2001 reduced, in the case of eligible mining or quarrying operations, by an amount you have deducted or can deduct for the calculation year under the former Act and not yet taken into account in calculating unrecouped expenditure; or
(c) for transport capital expenditure—the entity’s amount of transport capital expenditure under the former Act at the end of 30 June 2001 less any amounts the entity has deducted or can deduct for it under the former Act up to that time; or
(d) for expenditure on a forestry road, a timber mill building, a horticultural plant or a grapevine—the amount of that expenditure less any amounts the entity has deducted or can deduct for it under the former Act up to 30 June 2001; or
(e) for expenditure on evaluating the impact on the environment of a project—the amount of that expenditure less any amounts the entity has deducted or can deduct for it under the former Act up to 30 June 2001; or
(f) for assets that were pooled under Subdivision 42‑M or 42‑L of the former Act—the closing balance of the pool at the end of 30 June 2001.
(4) The asset’s base value for applying the formula in section 40‑70 of the new Act for the diminishing value method is that opening adjustable value.
(5) The decline in value for the assets referred to in this subsection is worked out using the prime cost method without the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act, and the opening adjustable value specified in subsection (3) of this section, in this way:
(a) for an item of plant for which you were using the prime cost method—using the rules in section 40‑10 of this Act; and
(c) for a unit of software for which the entity was deducting amounts under Subdivision 46‑B of the former Act—using the rules in subsection 40‑25(2) of this Act; and
(f) for an amount of expenditure on evaluating the impact on the environment of a project—using the rules in section 40‑55 of this Act.
(6) The decline in value for the assets referred to in this subsection is worked out using the prime cost method using the adjustments in subsection 40‑75(3) of the new Act, and the opening adjustable value specified in subsection (3) of this section, in this way:
(a) for an amount of unrecouped expenditure under Division 330 of the former Act—using the rules in section 40‑35 of this Act; and
(b) for an amount of transport capital expenditure under Division 330 of the former Act—using the rules in section 40‑40 of this Act; and
(7) The entity must work out the decline in value of each of the assets for later income years under Division 40 of the new Act.
(a) allowable capital expenditure for which the entity had deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 330‑C of the former Act; or
(b) transport capital expenditure for which the entity had deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 330‑H of the former Act; or
(c) a water facility for which the entity had deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 387‑B of the former Act; or
(d) expenditure on connecting power to land or upgrading the connection for which the entity had deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 387‑E of the former Act; or
(e) expenditure on a telephone line on or extending to land for which the entity had deducted or can deduct an amount under Subdivision 387‑E of the former Act;
reduce its deductions for each of the periods referred to in paragraphs (2)(a) and (b) by multiplying the deduction for that period by the number of days in that period and dividing the result by 365.
(9) The entity cannot deduct anything for an asset referred to in this section under the former Act for any part of its calculation year after 30 June 2001.
(10) You are entitled to a further deduction for a depreciating asset for which you are using the diminishing value method if the sum of the deductions worked out under paragraphs (2)(a) and (b) (the sum amount) is less than the deduction to which you would have been entitled for the asset if the former Act had continued to apply to the whole of the calculation year (the former Act amount).
(11) You increase the amount worked out under paragraph (2)(b) by the difference between the former Act amount and the sum amount.
(1) Subsections 40‑65(6) and (7) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 apply with the changes set out in this section if either or both of the following events have happened:
(b) you could have deducted one or more amounts under that former section for the asset if you had not chosen tax offsets under former section 73I of that Act.
(a) paragraph 40‑65(6)(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 included both events set out in subsection (1) of this section; and
(b) subsections 40‑65(6) and (7) of that Act deal with all 4 kinds of events in a corresponding way to the way that they deal with 2 kinds of events.
(1) A reference in the new Act to an amount that you have deducted or can deduct for a depreciating asset under Division 40 of the new Act includes a reference to an amount that you have deducted or can deduct for a capital allowance relating to the asset under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
(2) An amount you have deducted or can deduct for a water facility under Subdivision 387‑B of the former Act or former section 75B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 is taken to have been deducted under Subdivision 40‑F of the new Act.
(3) A reference in the new Act to a reduction in your deduction for a depreciating asset includes a reference to amounts by which your deductions for the asset were reduced under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
(a) you are taken to start holding a depreciating asset on or after 10 May 2006 because of section 40‑115 (about splitting a depreciating asset) or 40‑125 (about merging depreciating assets) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and
(b) it is reasonable to conclude that you split the asset or merged the assets for the main purpose of ensuring that the decline in value of the asset or assets (after the splitting or merging) would be worked out under section 40‑72 of that Act;
(2) The Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to you as if you had started to hold a depreciating asset before 10 May 2006 if:
(c) it is reasonable to conclude that you did this for the main purpose of ensuring that the decline in value of the asset would be worked out under section 40‑72 of that Act.
(3) The Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to you as if you had started to hold a depreciating asset (the substituted asset) before 10 May 2006 if:
(b) the substituted asset is identical to or has a purpose similar to another depreciating asset that another entity acquired from you on or after that day under that arrangement; and
(d) it is reasonable to conclude that you entered into the arrangement for the main purpose of ensuring that the decline in value of the substituted asset would be worked out under section 40‑72 of that Act.
(a) you hold a depreciating asset (except a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before 1 July 2001) that you:
(b) your expenditure on the asset, whenever incurred, would have been allowable capital expenditure, transport capital expenditure or expenditure on exploration or prospecting within the meaning of Division 330 of the former Act if it had been incurred before 1 July 2001.
(2) If you incur expenditure on the asset after 30 June 2001 that forms part of the cost of the asset, you can deduct the expenditure for the income year in which you incur it if it would have been expenditure on exploration or prospecting within the meaning of Division 330 of the former Act.
(3) Otherwise, Subdivision 40‑B of the new Act applies to the asset on the basis that it has a cost, and an adjustable value, of zero at the start of 1 July 2001, and an effective life on that day or at its start time, whichever is the later, worked out under subsection (4) of this section.
(a) if the expenditure on the asset was incurred in relation to eligible mining operations other than in the course of petroleum mining—the shorter of:
(ii) the number of whole years in the estimated life of the mine or proposed mine to which the expenditure relates or, if there is more than one such mine, of the mine that has the longest estimated life; or
(b) if the expenditure on the asset was incurred in relation to eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining—the shorter of:
(ii) the number of whole years in the estimated life of the petroleum field or proposed petroleum field to which the expenditure relates; or
(ii) the number of whole years in the estimated life of the quarry or proposed quarry to which the expenditure relates or, if there is more than one such quarry, of the quarry that has the longest estimated life.
(1) Division 40 of the new Act does not apply to a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before 1 July 2001.
> Note: If you incur expenditure relating to assets of that kind, you cannot deduct it under Division 40\. However, the expenditure may be taken into account in calculating a capital gain or capital loss under Part 3‑1 or 3‑3 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(1A) Division 40 of the new Act does not apply to a renewal or extension of a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before 1 July 2001.
(1B) Subsection (1) applies to a mining, quarrying or prospecting right (the new right) that you start to hold on or after 1 July 2001 as if you had started to hold the new right before that day if:
(i) the other company is a member of the same wholly‑owned group as the original holder and was a member of that group just before that day; and
(ii) the right was held in the period between that day and the time of the transfer by a company or companies that were members of that group on that day and at the time of the transfer.
(1D) Division 40 of the new Act does not apply to an interest in a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold on or after 1 July 2001 if:
(b) the interest was acquired in exchange for one or more other interests in other mining, quarrying or prospecting rights all of which you had started to hold before 1 July 2001.
(a) you acquired, under an interest realignment arrangement, an interest (a new interest) in a mining, quarrying or prospecting right; and
(b) the interest was acquired in exchange for one or more other interests (old interests) in other mining, quarrying or prospecting rights; and
Division 40 of the new Act applies to the new interest only to the extent that the new interest was acquired in exchange for the old interests that you started to hold on or after 1 July 2001.
(a) you dispose of a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before 1 July 2001 to an associate of yours (except a company that is a member of the same wholly‑owned group); or
(b) you enter into an arrangement in relation to such a right under which you maintain, in essence, the economic ownership of the right but not its legal ownership;
the cost of the right to the purchaser is limited, for the purposes of Division 40 of the new Act, to a maximum of the costs that would have been deductible for the right under Division 330 of the former Act.
(3) An amount that would be included in your assessable income under section 15‑40 or subsection 40‑285(1) of the new Act in respect of mining, quarrying or prospecting information you started to hold before 1 July 2001 is reduced (but not below zero) by so much of the capital cost of acquiring the information that you incurred before that day and that:
(a) after 1 July 2001, you stop holding a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before that day; and
(b) you have deducted or can deduct an amount for it under Subdivision 330‑C in relation to Subdivision 330‑D or 330‑E of the former Act.
(a) after 1 July 2001, you stop holding a mining, quarrying or prospecting right that you started to hold before that day; and
(b) because of section 40‑35 or 40‑38 of this Act, you have deducted or can deduct an amount for a notional asset that relates to expenditure on the right under Division 40 of the new Act.
(6) Division 110 of the new Act applies as if an amount included in assessable income under subsection (4) or (5) of this section were the reversal of a deduction under a provision of the new Act outside Parts 3‑1 and 3‑3 and Division 243.
(7) An amount that would be included in your assessable income under subsection 40‑285(1) of the new Act in respect of a mining, quarrying or prospecting right is reduced by an amount worked out under subsection (8) if:
(a) you acquired the right from an associate (except a company that is a member of the same wholly‑owned group) on or after 1 July 2001; and
(8) The amount is reduced (but not below zero) by the difference between the capital cost that you incurred after that day and the amount to which the cost of the right is limited under subsection (2) of this section.
(c) if you had incurred the expenditure before 1 July 2001, and had satisfied any relevant requirement for deductibility, you would have been able to deduct an amount for it under Division 44, 373 or 380, or Subdivision 46‑B or 387‑G, of the former Act.
(2) Subdivision 40‑B of the new Act applies to the asset on the basis that it has a cost, and an adjustable value, of zero at the start of 1 July 2001.
A determination by the Commissioner of the effective life of an asset that was made under section 42‑110 of the former Act and that was in force at the end of 30 June 2001 has effect as if it had been made under section 40‑100 of the new Act.
if the instrument was in force immediately before the commencement of Schedule 1 to the Tax Laws Amendment (Research and Development) Act 2011.
(2) The instrument has effect, after that commencement, as if it had been made under that section as amended by the Tax Laws Amendment (Research and Development) Act 2011.
(1) For the purposes of Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the decline in value of a depreciating asset for an income year is the amount worked out under section 40‑130 if:
(a) the income year is the year in which you start to use the asset, or have it installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose; and
(b) subsection (2) (about businesses with turnover less than $500 million) applies to you for the year and for the income year in which you started to hold the asset (if that was an earlier year); and
> Note 1: An effect of paragraph (1)(a) is that this Subdivision only applies to one income year per asset. See also subsection 40‑135(1).
(i) each reference in Subdivision 328‑C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about what is a small business entity) to $10 million were instead a reference to $500 million; and
(ii) the reference in paragraph 328‑110(5)(b) of that Act to a small business entity were instead a reference to an entity covered by this subsection.
Exception—assets for which the decline in value is worked out under section 40‑82 or Subdivision 40‑E or 40‑F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
(3) However, this section does not apply to a depreciating asset for an income year if you work out the decline in value of the asset for the income year under any of the following:
(1) For the purposes of paragraph 40‑120(1)(c) and section 328‑182, you are covered by this section for a depreciating asset if, in the period beginning on 12 March 2020 and ending on 30 June 2021, you:
> Note: Section 328‑182 provides similar accelerated depreciation for small business entities that choose to use Subdivision 328‑D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(i) entering into a contract under which you hold the post‑12 March 2020 asset on the conduct day, or will hold that asset on an even later day; or
(c) the post‑12 March 2020 asset is the asset mentioned in paragraph (a), or an identical or substantially similar asset; and
(d) you engage in that conduct for the purpose, or for purposes that include the purpose, of becoming covered by this section for the post‑12 March 2020 asset.
(4) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), treat yourself as having started to construct an asset at a time if you first incur expenditure in respect of the construction of the asset at that time.
(5) To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this section, you do not enter into a contract under which you hold an asset merely because you acquire an option to enter into such a contract.
(6) For the purposes of subsections (2), (3), (4) and (5), if a partner in a partnership does any of the following things, treat the partnership (instead of the partner) as having done the thing:
(b) you started holding the asset under section 40‑115 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about splitting a depreciating asset) or section 40‑125 of that Act (about merging depreciating assets); or
(c) you were already covered by this section for the asset as a member of a consolidated group or a MEC group of which you are no longer a member.
(8) However, paragraph (7)(a) does not apply in relation to an intangible asset unless the asset was used for the purpose of producing ordinary income before you first used it, or had it installed ready for use, for any purpose. In applying this subsection, disregard ordinary income that arises as a result of the disposal of the asset to you.
(9) Despite subsection (1), you are not covered by this section for the asset if Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not apply to the asset because of section 40‑45 of that Act.
(10) Despite subsection (1), you are not covered by this section for the asset if, at the time you first use the asset, or have it installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose:
(a) it is not reasonable to conclude that you will use the asset principally in Australia for the principal purpose of carrying on a business; or
(1) For the purposes of section 40‑120, the decline in value for the income year in which paragraph 40‑120(1)(a) is satisfied (the current year) is:
> Note 1: The asset’s start time is when you first use it, or have it installed ready for use, for any purpose (including a non‑taxable purpose): see subsection 40‑60(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
> Note 2: A case covered by paragraph (b) is where you start to hold the asset in the period 12 March 2020 to 30 June 2020 and use it for only non‑taxable purposes in that period, then first use it for a taxable purpose in the period 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021.
(a) 50% of the asset’s cost as at the end of the current year, disregarding any amount included in the second element of the asset’s cost after 30 June 2021;
(b) the amount that would be the asset’s decline in value for the current year under Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, assuming its cost were reduced by the amount worked out under paragraph (a).
> Note: Paragraph (a) effectively only requires you to disregard an amount included in the second element of cost if you have a substituted accounting period that ends after 30 June 2021.
(3) However, the amount worked out under subsection (2) for an income year cannot be more than the amount that is the asset’s cost for the year.
(a) 50% of the sum of the asset’s opening adjustable value for the current year and any amount included in the second element of its cost for that year, disregarding any amount included in that second element after 30 June 2021;
(b) the amount that would be the asset’s decline in value for the current year under Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 assuming:
(ii) for the prime cost method—the component “Asset’s \*cost” in the formula in subsection 40‑75(1) of that Act (as adjusted under that section) were reduced by the amount worked out under paragraph (a).
> Note: Paragraph (a) effectively only requires you to disregard an amount included in the second element of cost if you have a substituted accounting period that ends after 30 June 2021.
(b) for the prime cost method—the sum of its opening adjustable value for the income year and any amount included in the second element of its cost for that year.
(1) The decline in value of a depreciating asset is not worked out under this Subdivision for an income year if this Subdivision already applied in working out the decline in value of the asset for an income year.
(2) For an income year later than the year in which the decline in value is worked out under this Subdivision, the decline in value is worked out under the other provisions of Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(3) If you use the prime cost method for the asset, you must adjust the formula in subsection 40‑75(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the later year in the manner set out in subsection 40‑75(3) of that Act. The later year is the change year referred to in that subsection.
(4) Subdivision 40‑D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has effect as if the decline in value worked out under this Subdivision had been worked out under Subdivision 40‑B of that Act.
(1) You may choose that the decline in value of a particular depreciating asset for an income year, and subsequent income years, is not to be worked out under this Subdivision.
(4) You must give the choice to the Commissioner by the day you lodge your income tax return for the first income year to which the choice relates.
> Note: The Commissioner may defer the time for giving the choice: see section 388‑55 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953.
If this Subdivision applies to work out the decline in value of a depreciating asset you hold for an income year, no other provision of this Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to work out that decline in value.
(1) For the purposes of this Subdivision, you are covered by this section for a depreciating asset if, on or before 30 June 2023:
(2) Despite subsection (1), you are not covered by this section for the asset if Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not apply to the asset because of section 40‑45 of that Act.
(3) Despite subsection (1), you are not covered by this section for the asset if, at the time you first use the asset, or have it installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose:
(a) it is not reasonable to conclude that you will use the asset principally in Australia for the principal purpose of carrying on a business; or
Exception—assets for which the decline in value is worked out under Subdivision 40‑E or 40‑F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
(a) the asset is allocated to a low‑value pool, or expenditure on the asset is allocated to a software development pool (see Subdivision 40‑E of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997); or
(b) you or another taxpayer has deducted or can deduct amounts for the asset under Subdivision 40‑F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about primary production depreciating assets).
(i) each reference in Subdivision 328‑C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about what is a small business entity) to $10 million were instead a reference to $5 billion; and
(ii) the reference in paragraph 328‑110(5)(b) of that Act to a small business entity were instead a reference to an entity covered by this section.
(ii) if the 2019‑20 income year ends on or before 6 October 2020—the sum of your ordinary income (if any) and statutory income (if any) for the 2019‑20 income year; and
(c) the sum of the amounts worked out under subsection (3) for the 2016‑17, 2017‑18 and 2018‑19 income years exceeds $100 million.
(b) next, work out the cost of each of those assets (including any amounts included in the second element of the asset’s cost at a time that is in the income year);
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3), disregard an asset if, at the time you first used the asset, or had it installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose:
(a) it was not reasonable to conclude that you would use the asset principally in Australia for the principal purpose of carrying on a business; or
(5) For the purposes of paragraph (3)(b), to work out the cost of a depreciating asset that is capital works (see section 43‑20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997):
(a) disregard section 40‑45 of that Act and work out the cost of the capital works using Subdivision 40‑C of that Act; and
(1) For the purposes of Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the decline in value of a depreciating asset you hold for an income year (the current year) is the amount worked out under subsection (3) if:
(a) where section 40‑155 covers you for the current year (regardless whether section 40‑157 also covers you for the current year)—an exclusion applies to you and the asset for the current year under section 40‑165 (about exclusions for businesses with turnover of $50 million or more); or
(ii) an exclusion applies to you and the asset for the current year under section 40‑167 (about exclusions for corporate tax entities with income under $5 billion).
(a) if the asset’s start time occurs in the current year—the asset’s cost as at the end of the current year, disregarding any amount included in the asset’s cost after 30 June 2023; or
(b) if the asset’s start time occurred in an earlier year—the sum of its opening adjustable value for the current year and any amount included in the second element of its cost for the current year, disregarding any amount included in the asset’s cost after 30 June 2023.
> Note 1: The asset’s start time is when you first use it, or have it installed ready for use, for any purpose (including a non‑taxable purpose): see subsection 40‑60(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
> Note 2: A case covered by paragraph (b) is where you start to hold the asset in the period 6 October 2020 to 30 June 2021 and use it for only non‑taxable purposes in that period, then first use it for a taxable purpose in the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.
(a) where paragraph 40‑160(2)(a) applies—section 40‑155 would not cover you for the income year if the reference in that section to $5 billion were instead a reference to $50 million; and
(i) entering into a contract under which you hold the post‑6 October 2020 asset on the conduct day, or will hold that asset on an even later day; or
(c) the post‑6 October 2020 asset is the asset mentioned in paragraph (a), or an identical or substantially similar asset; and
(d) you engage in that conduct for the purpose, or for purposes that include the purpose, of satisfying paragraph 40‑160(1)(a) for the post‑6 October 2020 asset.
(4) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), treat yourself as having started to construct an asset at a time if you first incur expenditure in respect of the construction of the asset at that time.
(5) To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this section, you do not enter into a contract under which you hold an asset merely because you acquire an option to enter into such a contract.
(6) For the purposes of subsections (2), (3), (4) and (5), if a partner in a partnership does any of the following things, treat the partnership (instead of the partner) as having done the thing:
(b) you started holding the asset under section 40‑115 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about splitting a depreciating asset) or section 40‑125 of that Act (about merging depreciating assets); or
(c) you already satisfied paragraph 40‑160(1)(a) of this Act for the asset as a member of a consolidated group or a MEC group of which you are no longer a member.
(9) However, paragraph (7)(a) does not apply in relation to an intangible asset unless the asset was used for the purpose of producing ordinary income before you first used it, or had it installed ready for use, for any purpose. In applying this subsection, disregard ordinary income that arises as a result of the disposal of the asset to you.
(1) For the purposes of subsections 40‑160(2) and 40‑170(1A), an exclusion applies to you and an asset for an income year if any of the exclusions in this section applies in relation to the asset.
(4) This exclusion applies in relation to the asset if the asset is available for use, at any time in the income year, by any of the following:
(1) For the purposes of Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the decline in value of a depreciating asset you hold for an income year (the current year) is the amount worked out under this section if:
(ii) you started to use the asset, or have it installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose in an earlier income year; and
(b) an exclusion applies to you and the asset for the current year under section 40‑167 (about exclusions for corporate tax entities with income under $5 billion).
(a) if the asset’s decline in value for the year would, apart from section 40‑145, be worked out under section 40‑82 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997—the amount worked out under subsection (3); or
(b) if the asset’s decline in value for the year would, apart from section 40‑145, be worked out under Subdivision 40‑BA of this Act—the amount worked out under subsection (4); or
Assets affected by section 40‑82 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (about assets costing less than $150,000, medium sized businesses)
(a) the amount that would be the asset’s decline in value for the year under section 40‑82 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, assuming the reference in subparagraph 40‑82(3A)(b)(ii) of that Act to 31 December 2020 were instead a reference to the 2020 budget time; and
(a) the amount that would be worked out under paragraph 40‑130(2)(a) or (4)(a) (whichever is applicable) for the year, assuming the references in paragraphs 40‑130(2)(a) and (4)(a) to 30 June 2021 were instead references to the 2020 budget time; and
(c) the amount that would be worked out under paragraph 40‑130(2)(b) or (4)(b) (whichever is applicable) for the year, assuming the references in paragraphs 40‑130(2)(b) and (4)(b) to “the amount worked out under paragraph (a)” were instead references to “the amounts worked out under paragraphs 40‑170(4)(a) and (b)”.
(a) the amount that would be the asset’s decline in value for the year under Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, disregarding any amounts included in the eligible second element worked out under section 40‑175 of this Act for the asset for the year; and
The amount worked out under this section (the eligible second element) for a depreciating asset for an income year is the sum of any amounts included in the second element of the asset’s cost at a time that is in both of the following periods:
(1) For an income year later than a year in which the decline in value is worked out under this Subdivision, the decline in value is worked out under the other provisions of Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(2) If you use the prime cost method for the asset, you must adjust the formula in subsection 40‑75(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the later year in the manner set out in subsection 40‑75(3) of that Act. The later year is the change year referred to in that subsection.
(3) Subdivision 40‑D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has effect as if the decline in value worked out under this Subdivision had been worked out under Subdivision 40‑B of that Act.
(1) This section applies if the decline in value for a depreciating asset for an income year is worked out under this Subdivision, and at a time (the balancing adjustment time) in a later income year:
(i) it becomes not reasonable to conclude that you will use the asset principally in Australia for the principal purpose of carrying on a business; or
(b) none of the requirements in paragraphs 40‑295(1)(a), (b) or (c) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 are satisfied in relation to the asset.
(2) For the purposes of Subdivision 40‑D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 assume that, at the balancing adjustment time, you stop using the asset, or having it installed ready for use, for any purpose and you expect never to use it, or have it installed ready for use, again.
(3) For the purposes of section 40‑180 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 assume that the reference in item 3 of the table in subsection 40‑180(2) of that Act to “because you stop using it for any purpose expecting never to use it again” were instead a reference to “because of section 40‑185 of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997”.
(4) If a balancing adjustment event happens to a depreciating asset you hold because of this section, this Subdivision cannot apply to work out the decline in value of the asset for a later income year.
(1) You may choose that the decline in value of a particular depreciating asset for an income year is not to be worked out under this Subdivision.
(4) You must give the choice to the Commissioner by the day you lodge your income tax return for the income year to which the choice relates.
> Note: The Commissioner may defer the time for giving the choice: see section 388‑55 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953.
you must use as the car limit the car depreciation limit under section 42‑80 of the former Act for the 2000‑01 financial year.
(1) Paragraphs 40‑285(1)(a) and (2)(a) of the new Act have effect in relation to a depreciating asset that you held at 1 July 2001 as if amounts you have deducted or can deduct for the asset under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 were part of the asset’s decline in value under Division 40.
(a) you are entitled to a deduction under subsection 40‑285(2) of the new Act for a balancing adjustment event happening to a depreciating asset:
(ii) to which former section 61A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 applied, or for which the transition time under Division 57 in Schedule 2D to that Act occurred before 1 July 2001; and
(4) Division 40 of the new Act applies to a balancing adjustment event that occurs on or after 1 July 2001 for a depreciating asset you hold if you held the asset on that day.
(5) The amount included in your assessable income under subsection 40‑285(1) or section 40‑370 of the new Act for a balancing adjustment event happening to a depreciating asset is reduced if:
(i) a depreciating asset that is not plant and that you started to hold under a contract entered into before 1 July 2001, you constructed where the construction started before that day or you started to hold in some other way before that day; or
(ii) plant that you acquired at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999; and

> sum of reductions is the sum of the reductions in your deductions for the asset because you did not use it for a particular purpose.
(7) Section 118‑24 of the new Act applies to CGT event A1 (disposal of a CGT asset) happening to a depreciating asset if the event happens:
(a) if the depreciating asset is plant—at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999; or
(d) the change in ownership constituting the disposal occurred after the applicable time mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
(i) an amount (the included amount) being included in the assessable income of the transferor under subsection 40‑285(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and
(ii) the transferor having an additional decline in value (the deductible amount) under subsection 40‑35(5), 40‑38(5) or 40‑40(4) of this Act; and
(3) The amount that is included in the transferor’s assessable income under subsection 40‑285(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 is the included amount reduced by the deductible amount.
(a) on or after 1 July 2001, a company (the transferor) disposes of property that is not a depreciating asset to another company; and
(c) apart from this section, the disposal would have resulted in the transferor having an additional decline in value (the deductible amount) under subsection 40‑35(5), 40‑37(5), 40‑40(4) or 40‑43(4) of this Act; and
(ii) the market value of any other property the transferor receives, or is entitled to receive, in respect of the disposal;
(2) There is no additional decline in value of the notional asset referred to in subsection 40‑35(5), 40‑37(5), 40‑40(4) or 40‑43(4) as a result of the disposal.
(3) Any amount that would be included in the transferor’s assessable income under subsection 40‑35(6), 40‑37(6), 40‑38(6), 40‑40(5) or 40‑43(5) of this Act, or subsection 40‑830(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as a result of the disposal is reduced by the deductible amount.
If a balancing adjustment event for a firearm that you hold occurs because you surrender it after the commencement of this section under firearms surrender arrangements, any amount by which its termination value exceeds its adjustable value is not included in your assessable income under subsection 40‑285(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(a) any amount by which your deductions for the asset were reduced under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 because you did not use it for a particular purpose were an amount by which your deductions for the asset were reduced under section 40‑25 of the new Act; and
(b) the total decline element of the formula in that subsection included all amounts you have deducted or can deduct for the asset under the former Act or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
(a) a balancing adjustment event happens in an income year (the event year) commencing on or after 1 July 2011 for an asset held by the R&D entity and:
(i) the R&D entity can deduct, for an income year, an amount under section 40‑25 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the new Act), as that section applies apart from Division 355 of that Act and former section 73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the old Act); or
(ii) the R&D entity could have deducted, for an income year, an amount as described in subparagraph (i) if it had used the asset; and
(i) the R&D entity can deduct (the old law deductions) under former section 73BA or 73BH of the old Act an amount for one or more income years for the asset;
(ii) the R&D entity chooses tax offsets under former section 73I of the old Act instead of deductions (also the old law deductions) under those former sections for one or more income years for the asset.
> Note: This section applies even if the R&D entity is entitled under section 355‑100 of the new Act to tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions under section 355‑305 of that Act for the asset.
(2) In applying section 40‑290 of the new Act (including references in that section to the reduction of deductions under section 40‑25 of that Act) in relation to the asset, assume that using the asset for a taxable purpose includes using it for:
(a) the purpose of the carrying on, by or on behalf of the R&D entity, of the research and development activities (within the meaning of former section 73B of the old Act) to which the old law deductions relate; or
(b) if the R&D entity is entitled under section 355‑100 of the new Act to tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions (the new law deductions) under section 355‑305 of that Act for the asset—the purpose of conducting the R&D activities to which the new law deductions relate.
(a) that the R&D entity can deduct for the asset under section 40‑285 of the new Act (after applying subsection (2) of this section) for the event year; or
(b) that is included in the R&D entity’s assessable income for the asset under section 40‑285 of the new Act (after applying subsection (2) of this section) for the event year;

(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D entity’s assessable income—so much of the section 40‑285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.
> old law 1.25 rate deductions means the sum of the R&D entity’s notional Division 40 deductions, and notional Division 42 deductions, (if any) for the asset that were multiplied by 1.25 in working out the old law deductions.
(3A) In applying Division 355 of the new Act in relation to the asset for the income year, the R&D entity is taken to have:
(a) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D entity’s assessable income—a clawback amount under section 355‑447 of the new Act for the income year; or
(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is a deduction—a catch up amount under section 355‑466 of the new Act for the income year;

(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D entity’s assessable income—so much of the section 40‑285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.
(b) section 40‑292 of the new Act (as that section applies because of Part 2 of Schedule 4 to the Tax Laws Amendment (Research and Development) Act 2011);
to the extent that they would otherwise apply apart from this section to the R&D entity for the event, do so apply to the R&D entity for the event.
> Note 1: The section 40‑292 of the new Act mentioned in paragraph (a) would otherwise apply for the event in a case where the R&D entity had new law deductions.
> Note 2: The section 40‑292 of the new Act mentioned in paragraph (b) would otherwise apply for the event in respect of the old law deductions.
(a) a balancing adjustment event happens in an income year (the event year) commencing on or after 1 July 2011 for an asset held by the R&D partnership and:
(i) the R&D partnership can deduct, for an income year, an amount under section 40‑25 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the new Act), as that section applies apart from Division 355 of that Act and former section 73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the old Act); or
(ii) the R&D partnership could have deducted, for an income year, an amount as described in subparagraph (i) if it had used the asset; and
(i) one or more partners of the R&D partnership can deduct (the old law deductions) under former section 73BA or 73BH of the old Act amounts for one or more income years for the asset;
(ii) one or more partners of the R&D partnership choose tax offsets under former section 73I of the old Act instead of deductions (also the old law deductions) under those former sections for one or more income years for the asset.
> Note: This section applies even if the partners are entitled under section 355‑100 of the new Act to tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions under section 355‑520 of that Act for the asset.
(2) In applying section 40‑290 of the new Act (including references in that section to the reduction of deductions under section 40‑25 of that Act) in relation to the asset, assume that using the asset for a taxable purpose includes using it for:
(a) the purpose of the carrying on, by or on behalf of the R&D partnership, of the research and development activities (within the meaning of former section 73B of the old Act) to which the old law deductions relate; or
(b) if one or more partners of the R&D partnership are entitled under section 355‑100 of the new Act to tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions (the new law deductions) under section 355‑520 of that Act for the asset—the purpose of conducting the R&D activities to which the new law deductions relate.
(a) that the R&D partnership can deduct for the asset under section 40‑285 of the new Act (after applying subsection (2) of this section) for the event year; or
(b) that is included in the R&D partnership’s assessable income for the asset under section 40‑285 of the new Act (after applying subsection (2) of this section) for the event year;

(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D partnership’s assessable income—so much of the section 40‑285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.
> old law 1.25 rate deductions means the sum of the partners’ notional Division 40 deductions, and notional Division 42 deductions, (if any) for the asset that were multiplied by 1.25 in working out the old law deductions.
(3A) In applying Division 355 of the new Act in relation to the asset for the income year, an R&D entity (the partner) that is a partner in the R&D partnership and is entitled to one or more new law deductions for one or more income years for the asset, is taken to have:
(a) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D partnership’s assessable income—a clawback amount under section 355‑449 of the new Act for the income year; or
(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is a deduction—a catch up amount under section 355‑468 of the new Act for the income year;

(b) if the section 40‑285 amount is an amount included in the R&D partnership’s assessable income—so much of the section 40‑285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.
> sum of new law deductions means the sum of each partner’s new law deductions mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) of this section.
(4) Section 40‑293 of the new Act, to the extent that it would otherwise apply apart from this section to the R&D partnership or its partners for the event, does not so apply to the R&D partnership and the partners for the event.
> Note: Section 40‑293 of the new Act would otherwise apply for the event in a case where the partners had new law deductions.
(1) You may exclude an amount that has been included in your assessable income for plant as a result of a balancing adjustment event that occurred in your 1999‑2000 or 2000‑01 income year to the extent that you choose under section 42‑290 of the former Act to treat that amount as an amount you have deducted for the decline in value of replacement plant.
(b) at the end of the income year in which you acquired it, you used it, or had it installed ready for use, wholly for the purpose of producing assessable income; and
(3) The adjustable value of the replacement plant is reduced by the amount covered by the choice as at the first day of the income year in which you acquired it.
(a) there is roll‑over relief under section 40‑340 of the new Act as a result of a balancing adjustment event happening to plant; and
(b) the transferor referred to in that section was working out the decline in value of the plant under subsection 40‑10(3) or 40‑12(3) of this Act.
(2) The transferee works out the decline in value of the plant under subsection 40‑10(3) or 40‑12(3) of this Act using the same method as the transferor if:
(a) the transferor started to hold the plant under a contract entered into at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999; or
(d) the transferor acquired it from an entity that was working out the decline in value of the plant under subsection 40‑10(3) or 40‑12(3) of this Act and paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this subsection applied to that entity or to the earliest successive transferor.

(a) the cost of the ship when this section commences is its cost under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 just before that time; and
(b) the ship’s adjustable value when this section commences is its depreciated value under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 just before that time; and
(c) paragraphs 40‑285(1)(a) and (2)(a) have effect as if amounts you have deducted or can deduct under section 57AM of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, as in force before its repeal, are taken to be part of the ship’s decline in value under Subdivision 40‑B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
