Taxation Laws Amendment (Software Depreciation) Act 1999
(No. 39, 1999)

Schedule 1

21  Application

The amendments made by this Schedule apply to expenditure on software after 10 am by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 11 May 1998.

22  Transitional—projects commenced before 11 May 1998

You can deduct expenditure on software that you incur before 1 July 1999 and that you could otherwise deduct under Subdivision 46B or 46D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 if, at or before 10 am by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 11 May 1998:

 (a) you entered into a contract to acquire the software; or

 (b) you commenced the development of the software for your own use; or

 (c) you commissioned another entity to develop the software for your own use;

to the extent that you use, or intend to use, the software for the purpose of producing assessable income.

Note: Under this item you can deduct the expenditure for the year in which you incur it, instead of having to write it off gradually under Subdivision 46B or 46D.

23  Transitional—backdating software pool to 11 May 1998

When making a choice under section 4680 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the first income year beginning after 11 May 1998, you may elect that the choice be treated as also applying to any expenditure on software incurred after 10 am by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 11 May 1998 but before that income year begins.

Note 1: You will get section 4690 deductions for that expenditure one year earlier than any deductions you will get for expenditure incurred in that later income year. This is because the timing of section 4690 deductions depends on the income year in which you incurred the expenditure (not on when you made the choice).

Note 2: If it were not for this item, the choice could not apply to expenditure incurred before the beginning of the income year in which the choice is made: see paragraph 4685(b).

24  Transitional—revoking software pool choice

(1) When lodging your return for the second income year beginning after 11 May 1998, you may revoke a previous choice that you made to create a software pool under section 4680 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

(2) You may do so whether or not you also made an election under item 23 of this Schedule when you made that choice.

(3) If you revoke the choice, no expenditure on software for that second income year or any later income year goes into your software pool. But any expenditure from before that second income year remains in your software pool unaffected by the revocation.

(4) You can never revoke the revocation, or make a fresh choice under section 4680.

(2) This item does not apply in relation to a company to which item 38 applies.

38  Different application for members of certain groups

(1) This item applies to a company if:

 (a) the company becomes a member of a consolidated group or MEC group on the day (the consolidation day) the group comes into existence; and

 (b) the consolidation day either is before 1 July 2003 or is both:

 (i) the first day of the first income year starting after 30 June 2003 of the group’s head company (for a consolidated group) or provisional head company (for a MEC group) on the consolidation day; and

 (b) nonmembership periods (if any) under section 70130 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 starting on or after the consolidation day.

39  Transfer for final income year before amendments apply

(1) In this item:

apportioning day of a company means:

 (a) if item 37 applies to the company—1 July 2003; or

 (b) if item 38 applies to the company—the consolidation day.

Application

(2) This item applies to these transfers under Subdivision 170A or 170B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 involving a company:

 (a) a transfer by the company of a loss it made for the income year (the final year) just before the first income year for which the amendments of those Subdivisions by this Schedule apply to the company;

 (b) a transfer to the company for the final year of a loss made for that income year or an earlier income year.

However, this item does not apply to a transfer involving companies that would satisfy either subsections 17030(3) and (4) or 170130(3) and (4) of that Act (as amended by this Schedule) if those subsections applied for the final year.

Object

(3) The main object of this item is to ensure that the company can either:

 (a) transfer a loss it makes for the final year only so far as the loss is attributable to so much of the final year as occurs before its apportioning day; or

 (b) utilise a loss transferred to it to reduce income or gains for the final year only so far as the income or gains are attributable to so much of the final year as occurs before its apportioning day.

Apportioning limit on transferring company’s loss for final year

(4) Despite section 17045 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the amount of a tax loss made for the final year by the company that can be transferred cannot exceed the amount worked out using the formula:

Note: If the company’s final year ends just before its apportioning day, this subitem does not reduce the amount of the tax loss the company can transfer.

(5) Despite section 170145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, a net capital loss made for the final year by the company:

 (a) can be transferred only if the sum of the capital losses made by the company during the final year before its apportioning day exceeds the sum of the capital gains made by the company during the final year before its apportioning day; and

 (b) cannot be transferred to an extent greater than that excess.

Note: If the company’s final year ends just before its apportioning day, this subitem does not reduce the amount of the net capital loss the company can transfer.

Apportioning limit based on transferee company’s income or gains for final year

(6) Despite section 17045 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the amount of a tax loss (for the final year or an earlier income year) that can be transferred to the company for the final year cannot exceed the amount worked out using the formula:

Note: If the company’s final year ends just before its apportioning day, this subitem does not reduce the amount of the tax loss that can be transferred to the company.

(7) Despite section 170145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, a net capital loss (for the final year or an earlier income year) can be transferred to the company for the final year:

 (a) only if the company would have had a net capital gain for the final year apart from that section had the final year ended on the day before the company’s apportioning day; and

 (b) only to the extent to which it could have been transferred consistently with subsection 170145(6) of that Act if the result of step 1 of the method statement had been the amount of the company’s net capital gain worked out on the basis described in paragraph (a) of this subitem.

Note: If the company’s final year ends just before its apportioning day, this subitem does not reduce the amount of the net capital loss that can be transferred to the company.

Transfer not prevented by transferor joining consolidated group

(8) Subsections 17045(1) and 170145(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 apply in relation to a transfer from a company (whether or not it is the company mentioned in subitem (4) or (5)) that becomes a member of a consolidated group or MEC group as if the fact that the company becomes such a member does not affect its ability to carry forward losses for the final year or an earlier income year.

Application to nonmembership periods less than a year

(9) If, under section 70130 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the company has a nonmembership period that ends just before the company first becomes a subsidiary member of a consolidated group or MEC group, Subdivisions 170A and 170B of that Act and subitems (3) to (8) (inclusive) apply in relation to the period as if it were the final year.

(10) To avoid doubt, section 70130 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not prevent a company from transferring under Subdivision 170A or 170B of that Act (applying as described in subitem (9)) a nonmembership period loss described in that section for the nonmembership period mentioned in that subitem.

 (d) any action taken under any provision of the Conversion Act.

 (2) In resolving any ambiguity as to the meaning of this section, an interpretation that is consistent with the object of this section is to be preferred to an interpretation that is not consistent with that object.

Schedule 7

3  CGT rollover—transfer of PSS Fund assets to pooled superannuation trust

Object

 (b) section 20 of the Superannuation Act 2005 in relation to the PSSAP Fund;

to set up and/or operate a pooled superannuation trust that is used for investing the assets of the PSS Fund and the assets of the PSSAP Fund.

Rollover

 (a) one or more CGT events happen because the Board ceases to hold all of the CGT assets of the PSS Fund; and

 (b) because of the cessation, CGT assets (the identical assets) that, together, are identical to all the CGT assets of the PSS Fund just before the happening of the CGT events start to be held by the trustee (the transferee trustee) of a pooled superannuation trust (whether or not all the identical assets were assets of the PSS Fund just before the CGT events); and

(5) For the transferee trustee, the first element of the reduced cost base of each of the identical assets the transferee trustee holds is the reduced cost base of the corresponding asset for the Board at the time of the relevant CGT event.

 (b) otherwise—to acts done or omitted to be done, or states of affairs existing, after the commencement of the amendments.

5  Application of Schedule 5 amendments

The repeals and amendments made by Schedule 5 apply to acts done or omitted to be done, or states of affairs existing, after the commencement of the amendments.

6  Object

The object of this Part is to ensure that, despite the repeals and amendments made by this Act, the full legal and administrative consequences of:

 (a) any act done or omitted to be done; or

 (b) any state of affairs existing; or

 (c) any period ending;

before such a repeal or amendment applies, can continue to arise and be carried out, directly or indirectly through an indefinite number of steps, even if some or all of those steps are taken after the repeal or amendment applies.

7  Making and amending assessments, and doing other things, in relation to past matters

Even though an Act is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003):

 (a) making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

 (b) exercising any right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

Example 1: On 31 July 1999, Greg Ltd lodged its annual return under former section 160ARE of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The return stated that the company had a credit on its franking account and that no franking deficit tax was payable for the 199899 franking year. Under former section 160ARH of that Act, the Commissioner was taken to have made an assessment consistent with the return.

 Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of Part IIIAA of that Act, the Commissioner concludes that Greg Ltd fraudulently overfranked dividends it paid during the 199899 franking year, and had a franking account deficit for that franking year. As a result, the Commissioner considers that franking deficit tax and a penalty by way of additional tax are payable.

 The Commissioner can amend the assessment under former section 160ARN of that Act, because item 7 of this Schedule disregards the repeal of that section for the purposes of making an assessment in relation to the 199899 franking year. Item 7 will also disregard the repeal of Division 11 of former Part IIIAA to the extent necessary for the Commissioner to assess Greg Ltd’s liability to a penalty by way of additional tax.

 Despite the repeal of sections 160ARU and 160ARV, item 9 will ensure that the general interest charge will accrue on the unpaid franking deficit tax and penalty until they are paid.

 Item 7 will also preserve Greg Ltd’s right, under former section 160ART of that Act, to object against the Commissioner’s amended assessment (including the penalty), since the objection is the exercise of a right in relation to a franking year that ended before the repeal of Part IIIAA.

Example 2: During the 199798 income year, Duffy Property Ltd withheld amounts from its employees’ wages as required by former Divisions 1AAA and 2 of Part VI of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The company failed to notify the Commissioner of those amounts, and failed to remit them to the Commissioner.

 Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of those Divisions, the Commissioner discovers that the withheld amounts have not been remitted. The company’s records are incomplete and the Commissioner is unable to completely ascertain the extent of its liability for the withheld amounts. Under section 222AGA of that Act, the Commissioner makes an estimate of the liability.

 Item 7 will disregard the repeal of section 220AAZA of that Act (which empowered the Commissioner to recover the amount of the estimate). Even though the estimate is made after the repeal, it relates to amounts withheld before the repeal.

8  Saving of provisions about effect of assessments

If a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act deals with the effect of an assessment, the repeal or amendment is disregarded in relation to assessments made, before or after the repeal or amendment applies, in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

9  Saving of provisions about general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty

If:

 (a) a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act provides for the payment of:

 (i) general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty (all within the meaning of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936); or

 (ii) interest under the Taxation (Interest on Overpayments and Early Payments) Act 1983; and

 (b) in a particular case, the period in respect of which the charge, penalty or interest is payable (whether under the provision or under the Taxation Administration Act 1953) has not begun, or has begun but not ended, when the provision is repealed or amended;

then, despite the repeal or amendment, the provision or part continues to apply in the particular case until the end of the period.

10  Repeals disregarded for the purposes of dependent provisions

If the operation of a provision (the subject provision) of any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003) made under any Act depends to any extent on an Act, or a provision of an Act, that is repealed by this Act, the repeal is disregarded so far as it affects the operation of the subject provision.

11  Schedule does not limit operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901

This Schedule does not limit the operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

 (a) any act done or omitted to be done; or

 (b) any state of affairs existing; or

 (c) any period ending;

before such a repeal or amendment applies, can continue to arise and be carried out, directly or indirectly through an indefinite number of steps, even if some or all of those steps are taken after the repeal or amendment applies.

226  Making and amending assessments, and doing other things, in relation to past matters

Even though an Act is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003):

 (a) making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

 (b) exercising any right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

Example: For the 200607 income year, Smart Investor Pty Ltd, an Australian resident private investment company, has assessable foreign income in the passive income class on which it has paid foreign tax for which it wishes to claim a foreign tax credit. The company also has a tax loss for the year from its Australian investments. When it lodges its tax return for the year it does not elect to claim a deduction for any of the tax loss under section 79DA of the ITAA 1936, because the Australian tax payable on its passive foreign income equals the foreign tax it has paid.

 In 2009 the amount of foreign tax payable in respect of some foreign rental income it had included in its return for the 200607 year is reduced and Smart Investor receives a refund of the difference in foreign tax. Smart Investor Pty Ltd then applies to be able to make an election under section 79DA, that is, after the Tax Laws Amendment (2007 Measures No. 4) Act 2007 (which repeals section 79DA) receives Royal Assent. The Commissioner allows Smart Investor to submit an election to claim a deduction for so much of its 200607 tax loss as to reduce the amount of Australian tax payable on its 200607 assessable foreign income to the revised foreign tax paid, by the end of 2009.

 Despite the repeal of section 79DA, item 226 allows the Commissioner to permit an election to be lodged after the return for 200607 has been lodged, and to amend Smart Investor’s assessment for that year, because these actions relate to a thing done, and periods ending, before the repeal of section 79DA applies.

(1) The Paid Parental Leave Act 2010 applies, with the modifications set out in this item, in relation to a person who has made a claim for parental leave pay for a child, if:

 (a) for a claim made before the day the child is born—the expected date of birth of the child is before 1 July 2011; or

 (b) for a claim made after the child is born—the day the child is born is before 1 July 2011.

Note: For a claim made before the day the child is born, see subitem (9) if the expected date of birth of the child is before 1 July 2011, but the child is born on or after that date.

(2) Section 101 of that Act (and the other provisions of that Act so far as they relate to that section) applies in relation to the person as if subsections (1) and (2) of that section were omitted and the following subsection substituted:

 (1) The Secretary must make a determination under this section (the employer determination) that a person’s employer is to pay the person instalments if the Secretary is satisfied, when making the determination, that:

 (a) a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to the person, or an initial eligibility determination for the person, is in force; and

 (b) the employer has made an election under section 109 that applies to the person; and

 (c) the person has consented in the claim to the employer paying instalments to the person; and

 (d) the person is likely to be an Australianbased employee of the employer during whichever of the following periods applies:

 (i) if the Secretary has made a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to the person—the person’s PPL period;

 (ii) otherwise—the period of days for which instalments are likely, if the determination is made, to be payable to the person by the employer; and

 (e) the employer has an ABN; and

 (f) if paragraphs (b) to (e) are satisfied in relation to more than one employer of the person—the person nominated the employer in the claim as the employer who would be required to pay instalments to the person.

(3) For the purposes of this item, an employer determination made under subsection 101(1), as that subsection applies because of subitem (2) of this item, is a transitional employer determination.

(4) The following provisions of that Act do not apply in relation to a transitional employer determination:

 (a) section 103 (which deals with responding to a notice of an employer determination);

 (b) subsection 107(2) (which deals with when an employer determination comes into force);

 (c) subsections 207(3) and 224(1) (which deal with applying for review of employer determination decisions).

 (a) the Secretary must revoke the transitional employer determination;

 (b) the revocation comes into force on the day of the revocation;

 (c) to avoid doubt, subsection 108(5) of that Act (which deals with giving notice of the revocation) applies in relation to the revocation.

(9) Despite paragraph (1)(a) and subitem (2) of this item, if the person’s child is born on or after 1 July 2011, then the following paragraphs have effect:

 (a) the Secretary may make an employer determination for the person and the person’s employer under section 101 of the Paid Parental Leave Act 2010, as that section applies apart from this item;

 (b) if the Secretary does so and has previously made a transitional employer determination for the person and the employer, the Secretary is taken never to have made the transitional employer determination.

(10) The following provisions of the Paid Parental Leave Act 2010, apply in relation to this item as if it were a provision of that Act:

 (a) section 275 (which deals with how that Act applies to an adopted child);

 (b) section 276 (which deals with how that Act applies to claims made in exceptional circumstances).

2  Employer determination made where expected date of birth is on or after 1 July 2011 but child born before that date

 (d) the child is born before 1 July 2011; and

 (e) the person’s employer has not made an election under section 109 of that Act that applies to the person.

(2) If, after the employer determination is made, the Secretary makes a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to the person for the child, the notice given to the employer under section 113 of that Act must:

 (a) state the day the child was born; and

 (b) be dated as at the date the preparation of the notice was completed; and

 (c) contain a statement to the effect that the employer determination will be revoked, unless the employer:

 (i) agrees to being required to pay instalments to the person, even though the child was born before 1 July 2011; and

 (ii) gives the Secretary a written notice indicating that agreement within 14 days of the date referred to in paragraph (b).

(3) If the employer does not give the notice referred to in subparagraph (2)(c)(ii) to the Secretary within that 14 day period, the following paragraphs have effect:

 (a) the Secretary must revoke the employer determination;

 (b) the revocation comes into force on the day of the revocation;

 (c) to avoid doubt, subsection 108(5) of that Act (which deals with giving notice of the revocation) applies in relation to the revocation;

 (d) section 103 of that Act (which deals with responding to a notice of an employer determination) is taken to have never applied in relation to the employer determination.

(4) The following provisions of that Act apply in relation to this item as if it were a provision of that Act:

For example, regard may be had to expenditure incurred by other entities in income years commencing before 1 July 2011 for the purposes of paragraph 355415(1)(b) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

 (a) any act done or omitted to be done; or

 (b) any state of affairs existing; or

 (c) any period ending;

before such a repeal or amendment applies, can continue to arise and be carried out, directly or indirectly through an indefinite number of steps, even if some or all of those steps are taken after the repeal or amendment applies.

3  Making and amending assessments, and doing other things etc., in relation to past matters

(1) Even though a provision is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003):

 (a) making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

 (b) exercising any right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

(2) Even though a provision is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded so far as it relates to a state of affairs:

 (a) that exists after the repeal or amendment applies; and

 (b) that relates to:

 (i) an act done or omitted to be done; or

 (ii) a state of affairs existing; or

 (iii) a period ending;

  before the repeal or amendment applies.

Note: Examples of things covered by this subitem are as follows:

(a) an amount may be included in an eligible company’s assessable income under former subsection 73BF(4) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for an income year commencing on or after 1 July 2011 if the company receives in that income year an amount for the results of research and development activities for which the company had deductions under former section 73BA of that Act in an income year commencing before 1 July 2011;

(b) an eligible company’s deduction under section 73B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for expenditure incurred during an income year commencing before 1 July 2011 is reduced because of section 73C of that Act if, in an income year commencing on or after 1 July 2011, the company receives a recoupment of that expenditure from the Commonwealth.

(3) To avoid doubt, this item extends to the repeal of subsection 28675(3), and paragraph 28680(2)(b), in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953. In particular, if, in a particular case, the period in respect of which an administrative penalty is payable under subsection 28675(3) in that Schedule:

 (a) has not begun; or

 (b) has begun but not ended;

when those provisions are repealed, then, despite the repeal, those provisions continue to apply in the particular case until the end of the period.

If a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act deals with the effect of an assessment, the repeal or amendment is disregarded in relation to assessments made, before or after the repeal or amendment applies, in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

5  Repeals disregarded for the purposes of dependent provisions

If the operation of a provision (the subject provision) of any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003) made under any Act depends to any extent on a provision that is repealed by this Act, the repeal is disregarded so far as it affects the operation of the subject provision.
