### sec.117 Employer who is a DGE on the last day of a transitional final period
This section applies if—
the employer became the DGE for a group—
during a transitional year; and
before the commencement; and
the employer is the DGE for the group continuously until the last day of the transitional final period; and
immediately before becoming the DGE for the group, the employer was a member of the group.
For working out the employer’s final liability for the transitional final period—
taxable wages paid or payable by the employer for the period (the group member period ) in the year during which the employer was a member of the group must be included in the employer’s final wages for the final period; and
payroll tax paid or payable by the employer for the group member period must be included in the employer’s periodic liability amount for the final period; and
the employer’s final deduction must be worked out having regard to each of the following—
the days in the year before the final period starts on which any employer paid, or was liable to pay, wages as a member of the group, even if the employer to whom this section applies was not a member of the group on those days;
the taxable wages and interstate wages paid or payable by any employer, as a member of the group, on the days mentioned in subparagraph (i); and
even if section 42(1)(a) does not apply, the employer’s liability is the final adjustment amount if the employer was required, under previous part 3, to furnish a return during the year when the employer was a member of the group.
The employer’s final return for the transitional final period must state the wages that were paid or payable, as a member of the group, by an employer—
during the final period; and
on the days in the transitional year mentioned in subsection (2)(c)(i).
Subsection (3) applies despite section 64(3)(b).
