Chapter 2Liability rules of general application

Part 2-5Rules about deductibility of particular kinds of amounts

Division 28Car expenses 

28-100  Log books

 (1) This section has effect for the purposes of section 28115 (Income years for which you need to keep a log book) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

 (2) You are taken to have used the “log book” method for a car for the 199394 income year or an earlier income year if section 82KUD of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 applied for the purpose of determining the amounts of deductions allowable under that Act in respect of car expenses you incurred for the car in that income year.

 (3) You are taken to have used the “log book” method for a car for the 199495, 199596 or 199697 income year if you used that method of deducting car expenses for that income year.

 (4) You are taken to have kept a log book for a car for the 199495 income year or an earlier income year if log book records and odometer records for the car were maintained by you or on your behalf, in accordance with Subdivision F of Division 3 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, for the applicable log book period in that income year. Those log book records and odometer records are taken to be the log book you kept for that income year.

Note: The 199495 income year is covered by both subsections (4) and (5). This is  because you may have kept your log book records and odometer records under Subdivision F of Division 3 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 before Schedule 2A to that Act was enacted.

36-100  Tax losses for the 1997-98 and later income years

  To work out your tax loss (if any) for the 199798 income year or a later income year, apply the provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 about tax losses.

 (2) You can deduct the tax loss in the 1997-98 or a later income year only to the extent that it has not already been deducted.

36-110  Tax losses for 1957-58 to 1988-89 income years

The loss is also called a primary production loss.

 (2) You can deduct the tax loss in the 199798 or a later income year only to the extent that it has not already been deducted. 

 (3) You deduct your primary production losses (in the order in which you incurred them) before any other tax losses of the same or any other loss year, except film losses.

 (4) A company cannot transfer any amount of a primary production loss for the 198384 or an earlier income year under Subdivision 170A (Transfer of tax losses within whollyowned groups of companies) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

330-1  Converting pre-19 July 1982 general mining and petroleum expenditure into allowable capital expenditure under the new law

 (1) If, apart from this section, you would have been entitled to a deduction in respect of expenditure for the 199798 income year or a later income year under any of the old diminishing value provisions, you are not entitled to that deduction.

 (2) Instead, the total of that expenditure, less the total of any amounts you have already deducted in respect of that expenditure for income years before 199798, is taken to be allowable capital expenditure (new ACE) incurred by you in the 199798 income year.

 (3) If the old diminishing value provision that would have given rise to the deduction is in Subdivision A (General mining) of Division 10 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, then the new ACE is taken to have been incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining).

  If, on the other hand, it is in Division 10AA (Prospecting and mining for petroleum) of that Part, then the new ACE is taken to have been incurred in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining.

 (4) The old diminishing value provisions are:

330-5  Converting post-19 July 1982 general mining and petroleum expenditure, and post-15 August 1989 quarrying expenditure, into allowable capital expenditure under the new law

 (1) If:

 (a) in the 199697 income year or an earlier income year you incurred allowable capital expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122DG(1), 122JE(1) or 124ADG(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (old capital expenditure); and

 (b) at the end of the 199697 income year an amount of that expenditure is unrecouped (worked out under subsection 122DG(4), 122JE(3) or 124ADG(4) of that Act (as appropriate));

that amount is taken to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year (new ACE).

 (2) In working out how much of that new ACE is deductible for the 199798 income year or a later income year, the calculation (under  paragraph 330100(2)(a), (3)(a) or (4)(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) of the years remaining is affected.

 (3) Take away from the number you get after doing that calculation the number of income years before the 199798 income year for which you deducted or, apart from the operation of subsection 122DG(6), 122JE(5) or 124ADG(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (as appropriate) would have deducted, an amount in respect of that old capital expenditure.

330-10  Converting old excess pre-1 July 1974 general mining exploration or prospecting deductions into allowable capital expenditure under the new law

 (1) If, at the end of the 199697 income year, there are excess amounts of expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, that expenditure is taken to be exploration or prospecting expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year.

 (2) But you cannot deduct that expenditure under section 33015 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in the 199798 income year or a later income year.

 (3) Instead, in the first income year after the 199697 income year in which you carry on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining) that expenditure is taken to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in that year. You can then write it off in that income year and later income years under section 33080 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

330-15  Reducing your unrecouped expenditure in the year you derive exempt income from the sale of rights to mine

 (1) If:

 (a) in the 199798 income year or a later income year (the sale year) you derive, from the sale, transfer or assignment of your rights to mine in a particular area in Australia, an amount that is exempt income because of section 33060 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and

 (b) in relation to that area, any excess amounts of expenditure referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 have become allowable capital expenditure incurred in the sale year or an earlier income year;

your unrecouped expenditure for the purposes of section 330105 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as at the end of the sale year is reduced by an amount referred to in subsection (2).

 (2) The amount is so much of those excess amounts as you have not deducted and that you cannot deduct in the sale year. However, the amount of the reduction cannot exceed the amount of the exempt income.

330-20  Reducing your unrecouped expenditure in a year later than the year you derive exempt income from the sale of rights to mine

  If:

 (a) in the 199798 income year or a later income year (the sale year) you derive, from the sale, transfer or assignment of your rights to mine in a particular area in Australia, an amount that is exempt income because of section 33060 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and

 (b) in relation to that area, there are excess amounts of expenditure referred to in subsection 122J(3) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that have not become allowable capital expenditure incurred in the sale year or an earlier income year; and

 (c) those excess amounts become allowable capital expenditure incurred in an income year after the sale year (the conversion year);

your unrecouped expenditure for the purposes of section 330105 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as at the end of the conversion year is reduced by so much of those amounts as exceeds the amount of exempt income.

Subdivision 330-ESelling a right or information

330-25  Old general mining and petroleum expenditure on plant cannot be transferred under the new law

  If:

 (a) any of the new ACE referred to in section 3301 of this Act; or

 (b) any of the unrecouped expenditure referred to in section 3305 of this Act; or

 (c) any of the whole or part of a deduction disallowed for the 199697 income year because of subsection 122DG(6) or 124ADG(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936;

can be attributed to expenditure on plant, disregard that expenditure for the purposes of paragraph 330245(2)(a) (about the limit on an amount that can be included in an agreement) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

330-30  Converting old excess 1 July 1974 to 21 August 1984 general mining exploration or prospecting deductions into excess deductions under the new law

 (1) If, at the end of the 199697 income year, there are excess amounts of expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122J(4) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, that expenditure is taken to be exploration or prospecting expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year (new EPE).

 (2) For each applicable year you are taken to be able, because of section 330310 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, to deduct the relevant amount of the new EPE under section 33015 of that Act.

 (3) An applicable year is an income year after the 199697 income year in which you carry on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining) and a mining business (other than a petroleum mining business).

 (4) The relevant amount for an applicable year is worked out as follows:

 (a) take away from the amount of new EPE the total of the relevant amounts for any earlier applicable years;

 (b) the relevant amount is so much of what remains as does not exceed:

 the assessable income you derive in that year from carrying on that mining business, or from your activities associated directly or indirectly with your carrying on that business;

  less

 all your deductions that directly relate to that business or those activities in that year.

330-35  Converting old excess pre-17 August 1976 petroleum exploration or prospecting deductions into excess deductions under the new law

 (1) If, at the end of the 199697 income year, there are excess amounts of expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 124AH(4) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, that expenditure is taken to be exploration or prospecting expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year (new EPE).

 (2) For each applicable year you are taken to be able, because of section 330310 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, to deduct the relevant amount of the new EPE under section 33015 of that Act.

 (3) An applicable year is an income year after the 199697 income year in which you have assessable income from petroleum.

 (4) The relevant amount for an applicable year is worked out as follows:

 (a) take away from the amount of new EPE the total of the relevant amounts for any earlier applicable years;

 (b) the relevant amount is so much of what remains as does not exceed:

 the assessable income you derive in that year from petroleum;

  less

 all your deductions in respect of that assessable income.

330-40  Converting old excess post-21 August 1984 general mining, post-15 August 1989 quarrying and post-17 August 1976 petroleum, exploration or prospecting deductions into excess deductions under the new law

 (1) If, at the end of the 199697 income year, there are excess amounts of expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 122J(4C), 122JF(6) or 124AH(4B) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the 1936 Act), that expenditure is taken to be exploration or prospecting expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year (new EPE).

 (2) You are taken to be able, because of section 330310 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the 1997 Act), to deduct the new EPE under section 33015 of that Act in the first income year after the 199697 income year for which you have assessable income.

 (3) But you can only deduct the new EPE under section 33015 of the 1997 Act if you could have deducted it under that section had you incurred it in that income year.

 (4) If any part of the new EPE can be attributed to eligible gold exploration or prospecting expenditure within the meaning of section 159GZZJ of the 1936 Act (gold expenditure), you can only deduct that part under section 33015 of the 1997 Act in the 199798 income year or a later income year if that year begins less than 7 years after the day on which that gold expenditure was incurred.

330-45  Converting old excess general mining, quarrying and petroleum deductions into excess deductions under the new law

  If the whole or part of a deduction for the 199697 income year is disallowed because of subsection 122DG(6), 122JE(5) or 124ADG(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 then that whole or part is taken to be:

 (a) allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year; and

 (b) because of section 330310 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, deductible by you under section 33080 of that Act in the 199798 income year.

330-50  Preserving the old election rules for post-1 July 1985 general mining, quarrying and petroleum expenditure

  If:

 (a) you incurred allowable capital expenditure within the meaning of Division 10 or 10AA of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 on or after 1 July 1985 and before the 199798 income year; and

 (b) an amount of that expenditure:

 (i) is taken, because of section 3301 of this Act, to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year in carrying on eligible mining operations in the course of petroleum mining; or

 (ii) is taken, because of section 3305 or 33045 of this Act, to be allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year; and

 (c) in the 199798 income year or a later income year you can, because of section 330310 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the 1997 Act), deduct the whole or part of that amount under section 33080 of that Act; and

 (d) in that year you elect under subsection 330315(1) of the 1997 Act that your deductions under Subdivision 330C of that Act not be limited by your available assessable income;

subsection 330315(3) of the 1997 Act does not apply to that whole or part if you would have been able to deduct that whole or part under Division 10 or 10AA of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 if that Division had applied in that year.

330-55  No right to elect that your deductions be unlimited for pre1 July 1985 general mining and petroleum expenditure

 (1) If:

 (a) before 1 July 1985 you incurred expenditure of the kind referred to in Division 10 or 10AA of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936; and

 (b) an amount of that expenditure becomes allowable capital expenditure, or exploration or prospecting expenditure, incurred by you in the 199798 income year because of section 3301, 3305, 33010, 33030, 33035, 33040 or 33045 of this Act; and

 (c) in the 199798 income year or a later income year you can deduct the whole or part of that amount under section 33015 or 33080 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997;

you cannot make an election under section 330315 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in that year in relation to that whole or part.

 (2) The restriction in subsection (1) does not apply to the whole or part of an amount you deduct in that income year if:

 (a) the whole or part is taken, because of section 3301 of this Act, to have been allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year in carrying on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining); or

 (b) the whole or part is taken, because of section 33010 of this Act, to have been allowable capital expenditure incurred by you in the first income year after the 199697 income year in which you carry on eligible mining operations (other than in the course of petroleum mining).

 (3) If:

 (a) in the 199798 income year or a later income year, you elect that your deductions under Subdivision 330C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 not be limited so that they contribute to a tax loss; and

 (b) the whole or part of an amount referred to in subsection (2) is one of those deductions;

you can only transfer so much of that loss, under Subdivision 170A (Transfer of tax losses within whollyowned groups of companies) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as remains after taking off that whole or part.

Subdivision 330-HTransporting the product

330-60  Converting old transport expenditure into transport capital expenditure under the new law

 (1) If:

 (a) in the 199697 income year or an earlier income year you incurred capital expenditure of the kind referred to in subsection 123B(1) (minerals expenditure) or 123BE(1) (quarry expenditure) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936; and

 (b) at the end of the 199697 income year you have not deducted all of that expenditure;

then so much of that expenditure as you have not deducted is taken to be transport capital expenditure incurred by you in the 199798 income year (new TCE).

 (2) You must use this section to work out how much of that new TCE is deductible over how long.

 (3) In the case of minerals expenditure, the number of income years (starting in the 199798 income year) over which you can deduct the new TCE (the remaining years) is worked out by taking away from 10 (or 20 if you made an election under section 123BB of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936) the number of income years before the 199798 income year for which you deducted an amount of the minerals expenditure.

  The amount that you deducted in each of those income years before the 199798 income year is deductible in each of the remaining years.

 (4) In the case of quarry expenditure, the number of income years (starting in the 199798 income year) over which you can deduct the new TCE (the remaining years) is worked out by taking away from 20 the number of income years before the 199798 income year for which you deducted an amount of the quarry expenditure.

 (5) The amount that you deducted in each of those income years before the 199798 income year is deductible in each of the remaining years.

 (a) in the 199697 income year or an earlier income year rollover relief was available under any of the old rollover provisions in relation to the disposal of property by a taxpayer (the transferor) to another taxpayer (the transferee); and

 (b) in the 199798 income year or a later income year:

 (i) the property is lost or destroyed; or

 (ii) the transferee disposes of the property in circumstances where Subdivision 41A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Common rule 1 (Rollover relief for related entities)) does not apply to the disposal; or

 (iii) the transferee stops using the property for purposes that qualify expenditure on the property for a deduction under Subdivision 330A, 330C or 330H of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; and

 (c) there has been no earlier disposal of the property where rollover relief was available under Common rule 1;

 (a) the total amounts deductible by the transferor, under Division 10, 10AAA or 10AA of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, in relation to the property; or

 (b) if there have been 2 or more prior applications of the old rollover provisions—the total amounts deductible by the prior transferors, under that Division, in relation to the property;

are taken to have been deductible by the transferee, under that Division, in relation to the property.

 (3) Second:

 (a) the total capital expenditure of the transferor in relation to the property; or

 (b) if there have been 2 or more prior applications of the old rollover provisions—the total capital expenditure of the prior transferors in relation to the property;

is taken to have been capital expenditure of the transferee in relation to the property.
