Insert:
                 "Division 9B-State Bank of NSW
Interpretation
 "121EM. In this Division:
 'asset' means property, or a right, of any kind, and includes:
 (a) any legal or equitable estate or interest (whether present or
future, vested or contingent, tangible or intangible, in real or personal
property) of any kind; and
 (b) any chose in action; and
 (c) any right, interest or claim of any kind including rights, interests
or claims in or in relation to property (whether arising under an
instrument or otherwise, and whether liquidated or unliquidated, certain
or contingent, accrued or accruing); and
 (d) any asset within the meaning of Part IIIA;
 'authorised actuary' means a Fellow or an Accredited Member of the
Institute of Actuaries of Australia;
 'first taxing time' means the time when the NSW State Bank ceases to be
a public authority within the meaning of paragraph 23(d);
 'liability' includes a duty or obligation of any kind (whether arising
under an instrument or otherwise, and whether actual, contingent or
prospective);
 'NSW State Bank' means the State Bank of New South Wales Limited.
Deemed disposal and re-acquisition of assets
 "121EN.(1) Subject to subsection (2), for the purposes of the
application of this Act (other than the excluded provisions mentioned in
subsection (2)) to the NSW State Bank, the Bank is taken to have sold,
immediately before the first taxing time, all of its assets and to have
purchased each of the assets at the first taxing time for consideration
equal to its market value at that time.
 "(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the excluded provisions are
sections 54 to 62AAV and Divisions 10 to 10D.
 "(3) To avoid doubt, an effect of subsection (1) is that the sum of all
allowable deductions (if any) in respect of the writing off as bad of the
whole or any part or parts of a debt to which that subsection applies will
not exceed the market value of the debt at the first taxing time.
Deemed cessation and re-assumption of liabilities
 "121EO.(1) For the purposes of the application of this Act to the NSW
State Bank, the Bank is taken to have ceased immediately before the first
taxing time to have any liabilities, and to have assumed each of the
liabilities again at the first taxing time in return for consideration
equal to the market value at that time of the right or other asset,
corresponding to the liability, that is held by the person to whom the
liability is owed.
 "(2) An example for the purposes of subsection (1) is a liability under
a security, issued by the NSW State Bank before the first taxing time, to
pay an amount of $1,000 after that time. If the market value of the
holders' right to receive the $1,000 under the security was $950 at the
first taxing time, the NSW State Bank is taken to have received, at the
first taxing time, $950 by way of consideration for assuming the liability
under the security to pay the $1,000.
Effect of unfunded pre-first taxing time superannuation liabilities
 "121EP.(1) This section applies to a deduction under section 82AAC in
respect of a contribution made in relation to a person who was an
employee of the NSW State Bank at the first taxing time.
 "(2) A deduction to which this section applies is not allowable to the
NSW State Bank for any year of income unless the requirements of
subsections (3) and (4) are complied with.
 "(3) For the deduction to be allowable, the NSW State Bank must obtain a
certificate by an authorised actuary stating the actuarial value, as at
the first taxing time, of liabilities of the NSW State Bank to provide
superannuation benefits for, or for dependants of, employees of the Bank,
where the liabilities:
 (a) had accrued as at the first taxing time; and
 (b) were, according to actuarial principles, unfunded at that time.
 "(4) The certificate must be in a form approved in writing by the
Commissioner. The NSW State Bank must obtain the certificate:
 (a) before the date of lodgment of its return of income of the year of
income in which the first taxing time occurs; or
 (b) within such further time as the Commissioner allows.
 "(5) If the NSW State Bank obtains the certificate, a deduction to which
this section applies is nevertheless not allowable for a year of income if
the sum of all deductions to which this section applies for the year of
income is less than or equal to the unfunded liability limit (see
subsection (7)) for the year of income.
 "(6) If the sum is greater than that limit, so much of the deduction as
is worked out using the following formula is not allowable:
         Amount of deduction
   Sum of all deductions to which   x Unfunded liability limit for the
     this section applies for the            year of income
 "(7) The 'unfunded liability limit' for a year of income is:
 (a) if the year of income is the one in which the first taxing time
occurs-the actuarial value of the liabilities set out in the actuary's
certificate; or
 (b) in any other case-that actuarial value as reduced by the total
amount of deductions to which this section applies that, because of
subsection (5), have not been allowable to the NSW State Bank for all
previous years of income.
 "(8) Expressions used in this Division that are also used in section
82AAC have the same respective meanings as in that section.
Effect of pre-first taxing time provision for bad debts
 "121EQ.(1) This section applies to a debt owing to the NSW State Bank
that existed immediately before the first taxing time if at that time
there was, in the accounting records of the Bank, a doubtful debt
provision in respect of the debt described as a 'specific provision'.
 "(2) If this section applies to a debt, a deduction under this Act that,
apart from this subsection, would be allowable to the NSW State Bank for
the writing off of the whole or part of the debt as bad is not allowable
to the extent that the amount written off equals the doubtful debt
provision limit (see subsection (3)) in respect of the debt immediately
before the writing off occurs.
 "(3) The 'doubtful debt provision limit', in respect of a debt at a
particular time, is:
 (a) if subsection (2) has not applied in relation to any previous
writing off of part of the debt-the amount of the specific provision in
respect of the debt mentioned in subsection (1); or
 (b) in any other case-the amount of the specific provision in respect of
the debt mentioned in subsection (1), reduced by the sum of the amounts of
deductions that, because of a previous application of subsection (2) in
respect of the writing off of one or more parts of the debt as bad, have
not been allowable to the Bank.
 "(4) If:
 (a) this section does not apply to a debt that existed immediately
before the first taxing time; and
 (b) the debt is included in a class of debts existing immediately before
that time where, at that time, there was, in the accounting records of the
NSW State Bank, a doubtful debt provision in respect of the class
described as a 'specific provision';
this section applies to the debt as if there were a specific provision in
respect of the debt of the kind mentioned in subsection (1) of an amount
worked out using the formula:
Amount of specific provision for         Amount of the debt
       the class                x      Sum of the amounts of debts
                                         included in the class.".

estimate under section 221AZO (the 'first estimate') before the end of the
first day of month 9 and also makes an estimate under that section (the
'later estimate') after the first day of month 9 and before the first day
of month 11. "(2) If columns 1, 2 and 3 of a row in the following table
apply to a taxpayer for the current year, the classification of the
taxpayer for the current year is taken to be the classification in column
4 of that row:

             Classification on the basis of assumption 1 in

 2 Small   Medium   Large    Large
 3 Small   Large    Medium   Medium
 4 Small   Large    Large    Large

Assumption 1
       Assumption 1 is that the first estimate was never lodged.
Assumption 2
       Assumption 2 is that the later estimate was lodged immediately
before the end of the first day of month 9.
 "(4) If this section operates, then, for the purposes of the calculation
of the taxpayer's likely tax, the later estimate is taken to have been
made immediately before the end of the first day of month 9.
 "(5) The classification of a taxpayer as a result of this section is
subject to section 221AZMA.
Note: Section 221AZMA may change the classification of a company from

small to medium.".

Additional tax if income or deduction transferred under avoidance scheme
 "221AZU.(1) This section applies in relation to an instalment taxpayer
in respect of a year of income to which this Division applies (the
'current year') if:
 (a) the taxpayer has entered into or carried out an arrangement; and
 (b) the taxpayer has a qualifying increase in taxable income for the
current year (see subsections (2) and (3)); and
 (c) the sum of the instalments, other than the final instalment, payable
under this Division in respect of the current year by the taxpayer and one
or more other taxpayers is less than the sum that would have been so
payable, or might reasonably be expected to have been so payable, if the
arrangement had not been entered into or carried out; and
 (d) income tax has become due and payable by the taxpayer in respect of
its taxable income of the current year.
 "(2) A taxpayer that is a company (other than a company in the capacity
of trustee) has a qualifying increase in taxable income for the current
year if:
 (a) an amount has been included in the assessable income of the taxpayer
of the current year, being an amount that would not have been so included,
or might reasonably be expected not to have been so included, if the
arrangement had not been entered into or carried out; or
 (b) a deduction is not allowable to the taxpayer in relation to the
current year where the whole or a part of that deduction would have been
so allowable, or might reasonably be expected to have been so allowable,
if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out.
 "(3) A taxpayer that is a trustee of a fund or unit trust has a
qualifying increase in taxable income for the current year if:
 (a) an amount has been included in the assessable income of the relevant
fund or unit trust of the current year, being an amount that would not
have been so included, or might reasonably be expected not to have been so
included, if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out; or
 (b) a deduction is not allowable to the relevant fund or unit trust in
relation to the current year where the whole or a part of that deduction
would have been so allowable, or might reasonably be expected to have been
so allowable, if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out.
 "(4) Additional tax, by way of penalty, is due and payable by the
taxpayer, equal to 12% of the amount by which:
 (a) the sum of the instalments, other than the final instalment, payable
under this Division in respect of the current year by the taxpayer and the
other taxpayer, or taxpayers, referred to in paragraph (1)(c);
is exceeded by:
 (b) the greatest sum that would have been so payable, or might
reasonably be expected to have been so payable, if the arrangement had not
been entered into or carried out.
 "(5) If the taxpayer received a refund in respect of an amount paid as
an instalment of tax in respect of its taxable income of the current year
under this Division, the amount, or the total of the amounts, paid by the
taxpayer in respect of that instalment of tax is taken, for the purposes
of this section, to have been reduced by the amount of the refund.
 "(6) If the Commissioner is satisfied that there are special
circumstances because of which it would be fair and reasonable to do so,
the Commissioner may remit the whole or any part of any additional tax
payable by the taxpayer under subsection (4).
 "(7) For the purposes of this section, the income tax that is payable by
the taxpayer in respect of its taxable income of the current year is the
income tax that is so payable after deducting:
 (a) any credits to which the taxpayer is or will be entitled under
subsection 98A(2), Division 18 of Part III or Division 3A of this Part or
the Income Tax (International Agreements) Act 1953; and
 (b) offsets under section 160AQK.
 "(8) To avoid doubt, a reference in subsections (2) and (3) to a
deduction that is not allowable to a taxpayer includes a reference to a
deduction that is not allowable to that taxpayer because a loss, or part
of a loss, that would have given rise to the entitlement to the deduction
is taken, under section 80G, to be a loss incurred by another taxpayer.
 "(9) In this section:
 'arrangement' means:
 (a) any agreement, arrangement, understanding, promise or undertaking,
whether express or implied, and whether or not enforceable, or intended to
be enforceable, by legal proceedings; and
 (b) any scheme, plan, proposal, action, course of action or course of
conduct, whether unilateral or otherwise.
 "(10) A reference in this section to the entering into or carrying out
of an arrangement by a taxpayer includes a reference to the entering into
or carrying out of an arrangement by a taxpayer together with any other
person or persons.".
