INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 355.315

Balancing adjustments--assets only used for R&D activities

             (1)  This section applies to an * R&D entity if:

                     (a)  a * balancing adjustment event happens in an income year (the event year ) for an asset * held by the R&D entity; and

                     (b)  the R&D entity cannot deduct an amount under section 40- 25, as that section applies apart from:

                              (i)  this Division; and

                             (ii)  former section 73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ;

                            for the asset for an income year; and

                     (c)  the R&D entity is entitled under section 355-100 to * tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions (the R&D deductions ) under section 355- 305 for the asset; and

                     (d)  the entity is registered under section 27A of the Industry Research and Development Act 1986 for one or more * R&D activities for the event year; and

                     (e)  if Division 40 applied with the changes described in section 355- 310:

                              (i)  the entity could deduct for the event year an amount under subsection 40- 285(2) for the asset and the balancing adjustment event; or

                             (ii)  an amount would be included in the entity's assessable income for the event year under subsection 40- 285(1) for the asset and the balancing adjustment event.

Note 1:       This section applies in a modified way if the entity also has deductions for the asset under former section 73BA or 73BH of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (see section 355-320 of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 ).

Note 2:       Section 40-292 applies if the entity can deduct an amount under section 40- 25, as that section applies apart from this Division and former section 73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 .

Notional deduction

             (2)  If the * R&D entity could deduct for the event year an amount under subsection 40- 285(2) for the asset and the event if Division 40 applied as described in paragraph (1)(e), the R&D entity can deduct that amount for the event year.

Amount to be included in assessable income

             (3)  If an amount (the section 40- 285 amount ) would be included in the * R&D entity's assessable income for the event year under subsection 40- 285(1) for the asset and the event if Division 40 applied as described in paragraph (1)(e), the sum of that amount and the following amount is included in the R&D entity's assessable income for the event year:

where:

adjusted section 40- 285 amount means so much of the section 40- 285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.

"total decline in value" means the asset's * cost, less its * adjustable value, worked out under Division 40 as it applies as described in paragraph (1)(e).
