This Part sets out decision-making principles with which the Commission must comply in making a determination for subsection 52ZZZ(1) of the Act.
15 Definitions
In this Part:
individual means an individual who transfers property to a company or trust in accordance with subsection 52ZZZ(1) of the Act.
16 Application of asset disposal provisions where value of asset same or greater
-
This section applies if:
-
an asset is disposed by an individual to a company or trust; and
-
on 1 January 2002, the asset is owned by the company or trust; and
-
on 1 January 2002, the value of the asset is the same as, or greater than, it was at the time of its disposal.
-
The Commission must consider whether, in all the circumstances, the application of the asset disposal provisions would be unfair or unreasonable in relation to the individual.

-
This section applies if:
-
an asset is disposed of by an individual to a company or trust; and
-
on 1 January 2002, the asset is owned by the company or trust; and
-
on 1 January 2002, the value of the asset is less than it was at the time of its disposal; and
-
the decrease in the value of the asset is not attributable to any conduct that the Commission reasonably believes was intended to avoid the operation, or minimise the effect, of Division 11A of Part IIIB of the Act.

The Commission must consider whether, in all the circumstances, the application of the asset disposal provisions would be unfair or unreasonable in relation to the individual.
