 8. Section 69 of the Principal Act is repealed and the following section is
substituted:
Tax-related expenses
 "69. (1) Subject to this section, expenditure (other than expenditure of a
capital nature) incurred by the taxpayer on or after 1 July 1989, to the
extent to which the expenditure is in respect of a tax-related matter, is an
allowable deduction for the year of income in which the expenditure is
incurred.  "(2) For the purposes of the application of this section to a
taxpayer, a reference in this section to a tax-related matter is a reference
to:
 (a) the management or administration of the income tax affairs of the
taxpayer; or
 (b) compliance with an obligation imposed on the taxpayer by a law of the
Commonwealth, insofar as that obligation relates to the income tax affairs of
another taxpayer;
but does not include a reference to an offence-related matter.
 "(3) For the purposes of this section, expenditure incurred by the taxpayer
in respect of a tax-related matter is not to be taken to be expenditure of a
capital nature only because the income tax affairs concerned relate to matters
of a capital nature.
 "(4) A deduction is not allowable under subsection (1) in respect of a fee
or commission for professional advice concerning the operation of a law
relating to taxation unless the advice is provided by a recognised
professional tax adviser.
 "(5) A deduction is not allowable under subsection (1) for expenditure that
consists of:
 (a) income tax; or
 (b) an amount payable under Part VI; or
 (c) a financing cost in relation to an amount covered by paragraph (a) or
       (b) "(6) A provision of this Act (including a provision of section 51) that
expressly prevents or restricts the operation of section 51 applies in the
same way to this section.
 "(7) For the purposes of this section, where:
 (a) a taxpayer dies during a year of income; and
 (b) the trustee of the estate of the deceased taxpayer incurs expenditure
on or after 1 July 1989 that, if it had been incurred by the taxpayer during
his or her lifetime, would have been an allowable deduction to the taxpayer
under subsection (1);
then, in the assessment of the trustee upon the assessable income derived by
the deceased taxpayer, the expenditure is to be taken to be expenditure
incurred by the taxpayer during that year of income.
 "(8) If:
 (a) a deduction has been allowed or is allowable under subsection (1) to a
taxpayer for any expenditure; and
 (b) that expenditure, or any part of it, is:
 (i) reimbursed to the taxpayer; or
 (ii) paid for the taxpayer by another person; or
 (iii) recouped by the taxpayer from another person;
the assessable income of the taxpayer of the year of income in which the
amount is so reimbursed, paid for or recouped includes that amount.
 "(9) For the purposes of this Act, where property is used by the taxpayer on
or after 1 July 1989 for a tax-related matter, that use of the property by the
taxpayer is to be taken to be for the purpose of producing assessable income
of the taxpayer.
 "(10) Subsection (9) has effect subject to a provision of this Act that
expressly provides that a particular use of property is not to be taken to be
for the purpose of producing assessable income.
 "(11) In this section:
 'financing cost', in relation to an amount (in this definition called the
'financed amount'), means expenditure incurred by the taxpayer to the extent
to which it is incurred in respect of obtaining finance for the financed
amount and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes:
 (a) interest or a payment in the nature of interest; and
 (b) expenses of borrowing;
 'income tax' means tax (however described) that is:
 (a) imposed by an Act other than this Act; and
 (b) payable under this Act;
 'offence-related matter' means a matter relating to the commission, or
possible commission, of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, of a
State, of a Territory or of a foreign country and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, includes a matter relating to:
 (a) the investigation of such an offence; and
 (b) a prosecution for, or other proceedings in relation to, such an
offence;
 'recognised professional tax adviser' means:
 (a) a registered tax agent (within the meaning of section 251A); or
 (b) a person exempted under subsection 251L (2) from the operation of
section 251L; or
 (c) a person who is enrolled as a barrister, a solicitor or a barrister and
solicitor of a federal court or a court of a State or Territory;
 'tax-related matter' has the meaning given by subsection (2).".

equal to 85% of the difference between the amount so estimated and that
notional tax.
Power of relevant entity to revise estimate in certain circumstances

tax in respect of its taxable income of that year of income was made may,
before the date by which it is required to make a final payment of tax in
respect of its taxable income of that year of income, by written notice given
to the Commissioner, make a revised estimate of the amount of the income tax
that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of that year of income
in substitution for the estimate made by it under that paragraph.
 "(2) An entity is entitled to make only one revised estimate under
subsection (1) in respect of each year of income.
 "(3) If the Commissioner has made a determination under section 221AW in
respect of the income tax that will be payable by a relevant entity in respect
of its taxable income of a year of income, the entity is not entitled to make
a revised estimate under subsection (1) of this section of that income tax
that would be less than the amount determined by the Commissioner.
 "(4) If, by virtue of a determination made by the Commissioner under section
221AX, the amount estimated by a relevant entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a)
to be the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of
a year of income is increased, the entity is not entitled to make a revised
estimate under subsection (1) of this section of that income tax that would be
less than the increased amount.
 "(5) If a relevant entity makes a revised estimate under subsection (1) of
the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of a year
of income that exceeds the amount of the estimate of that income tax that was
made by the entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a), the entity must pay to the
Commissioner, when notice of the revised estimate is given to the
Commissioner, an amount equal to 85% of the excess.
 "(6) If a relevant entity makes a revised estimate under subsection (1) of
the income tax that will be payable in respect of its taxable income of a year
of income that is less than the amount of the estimate of that income tax that
was made by the entity under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a), the Commissioner must,
as soon as practicable, refund to the entity an amount equal to 85% of the
difference.
 "(7) Nothing in this section prevents a relevant entity that has made an
initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of a year of income
from making a further payment or payments on account of tax in respect of that
taxable income at any time or times before the day on which the entity makes a
final payment of tax in respect of that taxable income under section 221AZD.

information and explanations in connection with the application of this
Division (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
information and explanations as to any matters referred to in
sub-subparagraphs 221AX (4) (b) (ii) (a) to (h) (inclusive)) as are specified

is less than:
 (a) except where paragraph (b) applies - $1,000; or
 (b) if the Commissioner has determined another amount under subsection (2)
in relation to that year of income - that other amount; then, unless the
Commissioner otherwise determines in relation to the entity or a specified
class of entities in which the entity is included, the entity is not required
to make an initial payment of tax in respect of that year of income.
 "(2) For the purposes of this section, the Commissioner may, by notice
published in the Gazette, determine an amount other than $1,000 to be the

that will be payable by the entity in respect of its taxable income of that
year of income will be greater or less than the amount of the estimate or of a
revised estimate, as the case may be, of that income tax made by the entity
under this Division;
the Commissioner may, for the purposes of section 221AQ, determine that such
amount as the Commissioner thinks appropriate is to be substituted for the
amount of that estimate or revised estimate.
 "(2) A determination under subsection (1) in relation to a relevant entity
in respect of a year of income is of no effect if it would result in the
amount of the initial payment of tax that is required to be made by the entity

amount exceeding 85% of the entity's notional tax in respect of that year of
income.
 "(3) Where the Commissioner makes a determination under subsection (1), the

 (a) a relevant entity has given a notice under paragraph 221aq (1) (a) in
respect of a year of income (in this section called the 'relevant year of
income'); and

a benefit (in this section called an 'initial payment tax benefit') in
relation to its obligation to make an initial payment of tax in respect of its
taxable income of the relevant year of income, in connection with an
arrangement, whether entered into within Australia or outside Australia, or

it would be concluded that the person, or one of the persons, who entered into
or carried out the arrangement or any part of the arrangement did so for the
purpose of enabling the entity to obtain an initial payment tax benefit in
connection with the arrangement or of enabling the entity and another taxpayer
or other taxpayers each to obtain an initial payment tax benefit in connection
with the arrangement (whether or not the person who entered into or carried
out the arrangement or any part of the arrangement is the entity or is the
other taxpayer or one of the other taxpayers);
the following provisions of this section have effect.
 "(5) The Commissioner may determine either:
 (a) that the amount of the initial payment of tax to be made by the entity
in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income is to be taken
for the purposes of this Division to be 85% of the entity's notional tax in
respect of that year of income; or

may be, made by the entity under this Division of the income tax that would be
payable in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income is to
be taken for the purposes of this Division to be increased by the amount of

date on which the determination takes effect.
 "(9) After the determination comes into effect, the entity is not entitled
to make a revised estimate under section 221AR of the income tax that will be
payable in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income if:
 (a) in the case of a determination under paragraph (5) (a) - the revised
estimate would result in the amount of the initial payment of tax to be made
by the entity in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income
being less than 85% of the entity's notional tax in respect of that year of
income; or (b)Â in the case of a determination under paragraph (5) (b) in

 "(10) A reference in this section to the obtaining by an entity of a benefit
in relation to its obligation to make an initial payment of tax in respect of
its taxable income of the relevant year of income in connection with an
arrangement is a reference to the amount of the estimate or of a revised
estimate, as the case may be, made by the entity under this Division of the
income tax that would be payable in respect of its taxable income of that year
of income being less than it would otherwise have been because of:
 (a) in the case of an entity that is a company:
   (i) an amount not being included in the company's assessable income
of that year of income where that amount would have been so included, or might
reasonably be expected to have been so included, if the arrangement had not
been entered into or carried out; or
   (ii) a deduction being allowable to the company in relation to that
year of income where the whole or a part of that deduction would not have been
so allowable, or might reasonably be expected not to have been so allowable,
if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out; or

referred to in paragraph (b) of the definition of 'relevant entity' in
subsection 221AK (1):

or trust of that year of income where that amount would have been so included,
or might reasonably be expected to have been so included, if the arrangement
had not been entered into or carried out; or
   (ii) a deduction being allowable to the trustee in relation to that
year of income where the whole or a part of that deduction would not have been
so allowable, or might reasonably be expected not to have been so allowable,
if the arrangement had not been entered into or carried out.

benefit obtained by a relevant entity in relation to the relevant year of
income is to be taken to be:
 (a) if, apart from this section, the entity would be required to make an
initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of that year of income
- the amount by which that payment would have been greater if the entity had
not obtained that initial payment tax benefit in relation to that year of
income; or (b)Â if, apart from this section, the entity would not be required
to make an initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of that
year of income - the amount of the initial payment of tax in respect of that
taxable income that the entity would have been required to make if the entity
had not obtained that initial payment tax benefit in relation to that year of
income.
 "(12) Subsections (5) to (11), inclusive, do not apply, and are to be taken
never to have applied, in relation to an initial payment tax benefit obtained
by a relevant entity in respect of the relevant year of income if the
Commissioner is satisfied that:
 (a) as a result of the arrangement referred to in subsection (4):
 (i) the initial payment of tax that another relevant entity has made in
respect of its taxable income of that year of income has increased; or
 (ii) the initial payments of tax that 2 or more other relevant entities
have made in respect of their taxable incomes of that year of income have
increased; and
 (b) the amount of the increase, or the sum of the amounts of the increases,
as the case may be, is not less than the amount of the initial payment tax
benefit obtained by the first-mentioned entity in respect of that year of
income "(13) If the Commissioner becomes satisfied under subsection (12) after
the serving of a notice under subsection (6), the Commissioner must cause to
be served on the entity a further notice informing the entity that the
determination does not have, and is to be taken never to have had, any
effect.
 "(14) If:
 (a) because of a determination under subsection (5), a relevant entity has
paid an additional amount under subsection (8); and
 (b) after the payment of the additional amount, a notice in respect of the
determination is served on the entity under subsection (13);
the Commissioner must, as soon as practicable, refund the additional amount to
the entity.

referred to in subsection 221AX (1):
   (i) an amount has been included in the assessable income of the
entity of the relevant year of income where the entity is a company, or in the
assessable income of the relevant fund or unit trust of the relevant year of
income where the entity is a trustee of a fund or unit trust, 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
   (ii) a deduction is not allowable to the entity in relation to the
relevant year of income 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; and
 (b) the entity did not give a notice under paragraph 221AQ (1) (a) in
relation to the relevant year of income; and
 (c) income tax has become due and payable by the entity in respect of its
taxable income of the relevant year of income; the following provisions of
this section have effect.
 "(2) If the entity was not required to make an initial payment of tax in
respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income, additional tax,
by way of penalty, in respect of the period that:
 (a) commenced on the day by which, if such an initial payment of tax had
been payable by the entity, that payment would have been required to be made;
and
 (b) ended on the day on which the entity makes the payment that it is
required by section 221azd to make in respect of the relevant year of income;
is due and payable by the entity, at the rate of 20% per annum on the amount
equal to 85% of the amount calculated by the entity under that section to be
the income tax that is payable in respect of its taxable income of the
relevant year of income.
 "(3) If the entity made an initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable
income of the relevant year of income, additional tax, by way of penalty, in
respect of each day (in this subsection called the 'day concerned') during the
period that:
 (a) commenced on the day by which the entity was required to make that
initial payment; and
 (b) ended on the day on which the entity makes the payment that it is
required by section 221AZD to make in respect of the relevant year of income;
is due and payable by the entity, at the rate of 20% per annum, on the amount
by which 85% of the amount calculated by the entity under that section to be
the income tax that is payable in respect of its taxable income of that year
of income exceeds the amount, or the total of the amounts, paid by the entity
on or before the day concerned in respect of that initial payment of tax.
 "(4) Where the entity received a refund in respect of an amount paid as an
initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year
of income under this Division:
 (a) subject to paragraph (b), the amount, or the total of the amounts, paid
by the entity in respect of that initial payment of tax is to be taken, for
the purposes of this section, to have been reduced, on and after the date of
receipt of the refund, by the amount of the refund; or
 (b) if the entity received the refund because a determination under section
221AV reduced the amount of the initial payment that the entity was liable to
make in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income -
paragraph (a) does not apply and subsection (3) has effect as if the entity
had not received the refund.
 "(5) Where 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 entity under subsection (2) or (3).
 "(6) For the purposes of this section, the income tax that is payable by the
entity in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income is the
income tax that is so payable after deducting:
 (a) any credits to which the entity is or will be entitled under:
   (i) subsection 98A (2), Division 18 of Part III or Division 3A of
this Part; or
   (ii) the Income Tax (International Agreements) Act 1953; and

 "221AZ. An amount paid by a relevant entity under subsection 221AR (5),
221AW (4) or 221AX (8), or as mentioned in subsection 221AR (7), is to be
taken for the purposes of this Act to be, or to constitute part of, as the
case requires, the initial payment of tax that the entity is required to make
under section 221AP in respect of its taxable income of the year of income
concerned and a reference in this Division to an initial payment of tax is,
unless the context otherwise requires, to be taken to include a reference to
an amount so paid.

concerned.
Notional tax

to this section, the notional tax of a relevant entity in respect of a year of
income is an amount equal to the income tax assessed in respect of the
entity's taxable income of the next preceding year of income. "(3) A reference
in subsection (2) to the income tax assessed in respect of a relevant entity's
taxable income of a year of income is, in the case of a relevant entity that
is a company whose assessable income of that year of income included a net
capital gain within the meaning of Part IIIA, to be taken to be a reference
to:
 (a) in the case of a company other than a life assurance company or a
registered organization - the income tax that would have been assessed in
respect of the amount that would have been the taxable income of that company
of that year of income if that net capital gain had not been included; and

(if any) and the AD/RLA component of the company's taxable income of that year
of income:

been included; or
 (b) otherwise - the income tax assessed in respect of that component; and
 (c) in the case of a registered organization - the sum of:
   (i) the amount of the income tax assessed in respect of theCS/RA

income to which that component relates included a net capital gain within the
meaning of Part IIIA - the income tax that would have been assessed in respect
of the amount that would have been that component if that net capital gain had
not been included; or
 (b) otherwise - the income tax assessed in respect of that component. "(4)
Where:
 (a) the rates of income tax payable by a class of relevant entities for a
financial year are different from the rates declared by the Parliament for the
next succeeding financial year; and
 (b) provision is made by the regulations for varying the amount of notional
tax of such entities in respect of the year of income to the income of which
the last-mentioned rates apply;
then, on and after such date as is prescribed, the notional tax of such an
entity in respect of that year of income is the amount ascertained in
accordance with subsections (2) and (3) as varied in accordance with the
provision so made by the regulations.

resulted in an excess referred to in paragraph (1) (b), whichever is the
later; and
 (b) ended on the day on which the entity makes the payment that it is
required by section 221azd to make in respect of the relevant year of income;
is due and payable by the entity, at the rate of 20% per annum, on the amount
by which 85% of the relevant amount exceeds the amount, or the total of the
amounts, paid by the entity on or before the day concerned in respect of that
initial payment of tax.

initial payment of tax in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year

by the entity in respect of that initial payment of tax is to be taken, for
the purposes of this section, to have been reduced, on and after the date of
receipt of the refund, by the amount of the refund; or
 (b) if the entity received the refund because a determination under section
221AV or 221AW reduced the amount of the initial payment that the entity was
liable to make in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of income
- paragraph (a) does not apply in respect of the refund and subsection (3) has
effect as if the entity had not received the refund.
 "(5) Where 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 entity under subsection (3).
 "(6) For the purposes of this section, the income tax that is or would be
payable by the entity in respect of its taxable income of the relevant year of
income is the income tax that is or would be so payable after deducting:

(1) is to be taken to be credited on the day on which an assessment is deemed
by section 166A to have been made in respect of the taxpayer's income of the
