respect of a year of income (in this subsection called the 'current year of

income'); or

  (ii)  an amount (other than loan principal) is paid or credited to a

taxpayer, or to another person, during a year of income (in this subsection

also called the 'current year of income'); or

  (iii)  other property or services are provided to a taxpayer, or to another

person, during a year of income (in this subsection also called the 'current

year of income'); and

  (b)  the making of a loan, the payment or crediting of the amount, or the

provision of the property or services, as the case may be, is by way of

winnings from:

  (i)  betting (including pool betting); or

  (ii)  a lottery or other form of gambling; or

  (iii)  a game with prizes; and

  (c)  the chance to participate in the betting, lottery, gambling or game (in

this subsection called the 'betting chance') was provided:

  (i)  wholly or partly in respect of an investment held by the taxpayer in or

with a third person (who may be an associate of the taxpayer) (in this

subsection called the 'investment body'); or

  (ii)  wholly or partly in relation directly or indirectly to such an

investment; and

  (d)  the betting, lottery, gambling or game was organised by, or on behalf

of:

  (i)  the investment body (either acting alone or together with one or more

other persons); or

  (ii)  an associate of the investment body (either acting alone or together

with one or more other persons); and

  (e)  if the recipient of the loan benefit, amount or property or services,

as the case may be, is a person other than the taxpayer - either:

  (i)  the other person is an associate of the taxpayer; or

  (ii)  the loan benefit, amount or property or services, as the case may be,

is provided under an arrangement to which the taxpayer, or an associate of the

taxpayer, is a party; and

  (f)  no part of the value of the betting chance is included in the

assessable income of the taxpayer of any year of income; and

  (g)  the provision of the betting chance is neither:

  (i)  a fringe benefit within the meaning of the Fringe Benefits Tax

Assessment Act 1986; nor

  (ii)  a benefit that, apart from paragraph (g) of the definition of 'fringe

benefit' in subsection 136 (1) of the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986,

would be a fringe benefit within the meaning of that Act;

then:

  (h)  if subparagraph (a) (i) applies - the taxpayer's assessable income of

the current year of income includes the amount (if any) by which the benchmark

amount of interest in relation to the loan in respect of the current year of

income exceeds the amount of interest that has accrued on the loan in respect

of the current year of income; or

  (i)  if subparagraph (a) (ii) applies - the taxpayer's assessable income of

the current year of income includes the amount paid or credited; or

the current year of income includes the arm's length value of the property or

services, reduced by the recipient's contribution (if any).

'gross assessable amount') is included in a taxpayer's assessable income of a

year of income under paragraph (1) (h) in respect of a loan benefit; and

  (b)  assuming that:

  (i)  the recipient of the loan benefit had, on the last day of the period

(in this subsection called the 'loan period') during the year of income when

the recipient was under an obligation to repay the whole or any part of the

loan, incurred and paid unreimbursed interest (in this subsection called the

'gross interest'), in respect of the loan, in respect of the loan period; and

  (ii)  the amount of the gross interest was equal to the benchmark amount of

interest in relation to the loan in respect of the year of income;

a once-only deduction (in this subsection called the 'gross deduction') would,

or would apart from section 82A, and Subdivision F of Division 3, have been

allowable to the recipient in respect of the gross interest;

the gross assessable amount is reduced by:

  (c)  if no interest accrued on the loan in respect of the loan period - the

amount of the gross deduction; or

  (d)  in any other case - the amount worked out using the formula:

          Gross deduction  -  Reducing amount

where:

  'Gross deduction' means the amount of the gross deduction;

  'Reducing amount' means the amount (if any) that would, or that would apart

from section 82A, and Subdivision F of Division 3, have been allowable as a

once-only deduction to the recipient in respect of the interest that accrued

on the loan in respect of the loan period if that interest had been incurred

and paid by the recipient on the last day of the loan period.

  "(3) If:

  (a)  apart from this subsection, an amount (in this subsection called the

'gross assessable amount') is included in a taxpayer's assessable income of a

year of income under paragraph (1) (j) in respect of the provision of property

or services; and

  (b)  assuming that:

  (i)  the recipient of the property or services had, at the time the property

or services were provided, incurred and paid unreimbursed expenditure in

respect of the provision of the property or services; and

  (ii)  the expenditure was equal to the amount of the arm's length value of

the property or services;

a once-only deduction would, or would apart from section 82A, and Subdivision

F of Division 3, have been allowable to the recipient in respect of a

percentage (in this subsection called the 'deductible percentage') of the

expenditure;

the gross assessable amount is reduced by the deductible percentage.

  "(4) For the purposes of the application of this section to a taxpayer, if a

person (in this subsection called the 'provider') makes a loan to another

person (who may be the taxpayer) (in this subsection called the 'recipient'):

  (a)  the making of the loan is taken to constitute a loan benefit provided

by the provider to the recipient; and

  (b)  that loan benefit is taken to be provided in respect of each year of

income of the taxpayer during the whole or part of which the recipient is

under an obligation to repay the whole or any part of the loan.

  "(5) For the purposes of this section, if a person (in this subsection

82BD;

  'environment' includes all aspects of the surroundings of humans, whether

affecting them as individuals or in social groupings;

Deduction of allowable environmental impact expenditure

  "82BB. (1) Subject to this Subdivision, if a taxpayer incurs allowable

environmental impact expenditure during a year of income (in this section

called the 'current year of income') in connection with an income-producing

project of the taxpayer, then:

  (a)  if:

  (i)  a decision is made before the end of the current year of income to

abandon the project; or

  (ii)  the project ends before the end of the current year of income;

the expenditure is an allowable deduction for the current year of income; or

  (b)  if it is not practicable to readily estimate, as at the end of the

current year of income, the time when the project will end - 10% of the

expenditure is an allowable deduction for:

  (i)  the current year of income; and

  (ii) each of the 9 subsequent years of income; or

  (c)  if:

  (i)  none of the above paragraphs apply; and

  (ii) it is practicable to readily estimate, as at the end of the current

year of income, the year of income (in this paragraph called the 'final year

of income') in which the end of the project will occur; and

  (iii) the final year of income is one of the 9 years of income subsequent to

the current year of income;

equal parts of the expenditure are respectively allowable deductions for:

  (iv) the current year of income; and

  (v)  the final year of income; and

  (vi) each of the intervening years of income (if any); or

  (d)  if:

  (i)  none of the above paragraphs apply; and

  (ii) it is practicable to readily estimate, as at the end of the current

year of income, the year of income (in this paragraph called the 'final year

of income') in which the end of the project will occur; and

  (iii) the final year of income is later than the 9th year of income

subsequent to the current year of income;

10% of the expenditure is an allowable deduction for:

  (iv)  the current year of income; and

  (v)  each of the 9 subsequent years of income.

  "(2) A provision of this Act (including a provision of section 51, other

than subsection 51 (1)) that expressly prevents or restricts the operation of

section 51 applies in the same way to this section.

Allowable environmental impact expenditure

  "82BC. (1) A reference in this Subdivision to allowable environmental impact

expenditure of a taxpayer in connection with an income-producing project of

the taxpayer is a reference to expenditure (whether of a capital nature or

otherwise) incurred by the taxpayer on or after 12 March 1991 to the extent

that the expenditure is in respect of eligible environmental impact activities

in relation to the project.

  "(2) Expenditure is taken not to be allowable environmental impact

expenditure to the extent to which a deduction is allowable in respect of that

expenditure under a provision of this Act other than section 82BB.

  "(3) Expenditure is taken not to be allowable environmental impact

expenditure to the extent to which the expenditure is taken into account in

calculating an amount of depreciation that is allowable as a deduction.

activity in relation to an income-producing project is a reference to:

  (a)  undertaking a study; or

applied, to expenditure if:

  (a)  the taxpayer, whether before or after the commencement of this

subsection, receives, or becomes entitled to receive, a recoupment of, or

grant in respect of, the expenditure; and

  (b)  the amount of the recoupment or the grant is not, and will not be,

included in the assessable income of the taxpayer of any year of income.

  "(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), if a taxpayer receives, or becomes

entitled to receive, an amount that constitutes to an unspecified extent a

recoupment of, or a grant in respect of, expenditure, then so much of that

amount as is reasonable is taken to be a recoupment of, or grant in respect

of, that expenditure, as the case requires.

  "(3) Section 170 does not prevent the amendment of an assessment at any time

for the purpose of giving effect to this section.

Transactions between persons not at arm's length

  (a)  a person has incurred expenditure in connection with a transaction

where the parties to the transaction are not dealing with each other at arm's

length in relation to the transaction; and

  (b)  deductions are or have been allowable under this Subdivision in respect

of the expenditure; and

  (c)  the amount of the expenditure is greater or less than is reasonable;

the amount of the expenditure is taken, for all purposes of the application of

this Act in relation to the parties to the transaction, to be the amount that

would have been reasonable if the parties were dealing with each other at

arm's length.

Property used for eligible environmental impact activities taken

to be used for the purpose of producing assessable income

  "82BG. (1) For the purposes of this Act, if property is used by a taxpayer

on or after 12 March 1991 for eligible environmental impact activities in

relation to an income-producing project of the taxpayer, that use of the

property by the taxpayer is taken to be for the purpose of producing

assessable income of the taxpayer.

  "(2) Subsection (1) has effect subject to a provision of this Act that

expressly provides that a particular use of property is not taken to be for

the purpose of producing assessable income.".

Interpretation

  "221YHZP. In this Subdivision:

  'TFN withholding tax' means the tax imposed by the Income Tax (Deferred

Interest Securities) (Tax File Number Withholding Tax) Act 1991;

  'undeducted TFN amount' has the meaning given by section 221YHZQ;

  'untaxable Commonwealth entity' means:

  (a)  the Commonwealth; or

  (b)  a Commonwealth authority that cannot, by a law of the Commonwealth, be

made liable to taxation by the Commonwealth.

Undeducted TFN amount

  (a)  an amount (in this section called the 'deemed payment amount') is

included in the investor's assessable income for a year of income under

section 159GQ; and

  (b)  if subsection 221YHZA (2B) had not been enacted and if the deemed

payment amount had been income paid in money by the investment body to the

investor, the investment body would have been required to make a deduction (in

this section called the 'notional deduction') under subsection 221YHZC (1A);

and

  (c)  the term of the eligible deferred interest investment does not end

during the year of income;

there is taken to be an undeducted TFN amount equal to the notional

deduction.

  "(2) Any adoption of an accounting period in lieu of a year of income is to

be ignored for the purposes of:

  (a)  this section; and

  (b)  the application of Division 16E of Part III in relation to this

section.

Liability for TFN withholding tax

  "221YHZR. A tax is payable on an undeducted TFN amount.

  (a)  if the investment body in relation to the eligible deferred interest

investment is an untaxable Commonwealth entity - by the investor; or

  (b)  in any other case - jointly and severally by the investor and the

investment body.

Untaxable Commonwealth entity authorised to pay TFN withholding tax for

investor

  "221YHZU. If the investment body in relation to an eligible deferred

interest investment is an untaxable Commonwealth entity, the investor is taken

to have authorised the investment body to pay TFN withholding tax on behalf of

the investor.

Investment body may recover TFN withholding tax from investor

  "221YHZV. (1) If an investment body pays TFN withholding tax, whether or not

on behalf of the investor:

  (a)  the investor in relation to the eligible deferred interest investment

is liable to pay to the investment body an amount equal to that TFN

withholding tax; and

  (b)  the investment body may recover that amount from the investor as a debt

due to the investment body.

  "(2) If:

  (a)  an investor is liable to pay an amount (in this section called the 'TFN

withholding tax amount') under subsection (1) in respect of an eligible

deferred interest investment; and

  (b)  there is an amount (in this section called the 'investment balance')

accruing to, or standing to the credit of, the investor, in relation to the

eligible deferred interest investment, whether or not the investment balance

is due; the investment body may:

  (c)  reduce the investment balance by an amount equal to the TFN withholding

tax amount; or

  (d)  deduct or set-off an amount equal to the TFN withholding tax amount

from the investment balance.

  "(3) This section does not prevent an investment body from entering into an

agreement or arrangement with an investor under which the investment body is

entitled to recover from the investor amounts payable under subsection (1).

When TFN withholding tax payable

  "221YHZW. TFN withholding tax is due and payable at the end of:

  (a)  21 days after the end of the year of income (within the meaning of

section 221YHZQ) to which the undeducted TFN amount relates; or

  (b)  such further period as the Commissioner, in special circumstances,

allows.

Extended operation of certain provisions of Subdivision B

  "221YHZX. (1) Subsection 221YHZD (2) has effect as if a reference in that

subsection to an amount payable to the Commissioner by a person by virtue of

subsection 221YHZD (1A) included a reference to an amount of TFN withholding

tax payable by a person.

  "(2) Subsection 221YHZD (3) has effect as if a reference in that subsection

to an amount payable to the Commissioner under subsection 221YHZD (1A)

included a reference to an amount of TFN withholding tax payable by a person.

  "(3) In addition to its effect apart from this subsection, section 221YHZK

also has effect as if:

  (a)  in the case of an investor who has not adopted an accounting period in

lieu of a year of income - an amount of TFN withholding tax paid in relation

to a year of income and in relation to an eligible deferred interest

investment of the investor were an amount deducted during the year of income

under subsection 221YHZC (1A) from a payment to the investor; or

  (b)  in any other case - an amount of TFN withholding tax that was paid

during a year of income of the investor and in relation to an eligible

deferred interest investment of the investor were an amount deducted during

the year of income under subsection 221YHZC (1A) from a payment to the

investor.

Remission of TFN withholding tax - TFN exemption declarations not given

  "221YHZY. If, on written application by an investor in relation to an

eligible deferred interest investment, the Commissioner is satisfied that:

  (a)  TFN withholding tax is or was payable in relation to the eligible

deferred interest investment; and

  (b)  the investor did not give the investment body concerned a declaration

under Division 5 of Part VA in relation to the investment even though the

investor was entitled to do so; and

  (c)  it would be fair and reasonable to remit the whole or a part of the TFN

withholding tax, having regard to:

  (i)  the purposes of this Division; and

  (ii)  such other matters (if any) as the Commissioner thinks appropriate;

the Commissioner must remit the whole, or the part, of that amount, as the

case may be.

Overpayments of TFN withholding tax

  "221YHZZ. If any TFN withholding tax has been overpaid, whether as the

result of a remission or for any other reason:

  (a)  the Commissioner must refund the amount overpaid; and

  (b)  the investor is not entitled to a credit under section 221YHZK in

respect of the amount overpaid.

TFN withholding tax not deductible to investors

  "221YHZZA. A deduction is not allowable under this Act to an investor in

respect of TFN withholding tax.

Other laws do not exempt a person from TFN withholding tax

  "221YHZZB. (1) A law, or a provision of a law, passed before the

commencement of this subsection that purports to exempt a person from

liability to pay TFN withholding tax or to pay taxes that include TFN

withholding tax does not exempt that person from liability to pay TFN

withholding tax.

  "(2) A law, or a provision of a law, passed after the commencement of this

subsection that purports to exempt a person from liability to pay taxes under

the laws of the Commonwealth or to pay certain taxes under those laws  that

include TFN withholding tax, other than a law or a provision that expressly

exempts a person from liability to pay TFN withholding tax, is not to be

construed as exempting the person from liability to pay TFN withholding tax.

Subdivision to bind Crown

the period of 60 days after being given the notice, then, at the end of that

Person may seek review of, or appeal against, Commissioner's decision

extension application is not conducted in public; and

  (b)  a notice of appeal has not been lodged with the Federal Court;

interfere with, or affect, the decision and any tax, additional tax or other

amount may be recovered as if no review were pending.

final at the end of the period.

Pending appeal not to affect implementation of taxation decisions

  "14ZZR. The fact that an appeal is pending in relation to a taxation

decision (other than a registration-type sales tax decision) does not in the

in and in relation to the proceeding have effect, and may be enforced by the

Family Court, as if they had been granted, made or issued by the Federal

  (b)  the amount of the initial payment does not exceed the sum of:

  (i)  the FDT amount; and

assurance company is the amount calculated using the formula:

                  0.8  X  Fund component

payable by a company, then, sections 160APMA, 160APVA, 160APYC, 160APYC and

160AQCD of the Assessment Act have, and are taken to have had, effect as if

the company had, on the day on which its paragraph 221AQ (1) (a) notice for

the 1990-91 year of income was given to the Commissioner, paid that initial

payment of tax.

  (2) If:

  (a)  the initial payment of tax payable by a company is reduced under

for franking deficit tax in respect of the franking year in which the last day

assumptions:

  (a)  if:

  (i)  an initial payment of tax payable by the company is reduced under

section 127 of this Act; and

  (ii)  the company pays that reduced initial payment of tax;

the assumption that the amount of that payment had been increased by the

amount of the reduction;

  (b)  if, under section 127 of this Act, no initial payment of tax is payable

by the company - the assumption that the company had, on the day on which its

paragraph 221AQ (1) (a) notice for the 1990-91 year of income was given to the

Commissioner, paid that initial payment of tax.

entitled to a refund in respect of, an overpayment of franking deficit tax

that arises out of the operation of section 131 of this Act.

the operation of section 131 of this Act.
