INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 166.20

How Subdivisions 165-B and 165-CB apply to a widely held or eligible Division 166 company

             (1)  This Subdivision modifies how Subdivisions 165-B and 165-CB apply to a company that is:

                     (a)  a * widely held company at all times during the income year (the test period ); or

                     (b)  an * eligible Division 166 company at all times during the income year (the test period ); or

                     (c)  a widely held company for a part of the income year and an eligible Division 166 company for the rest of the income year (the whole year being the test period ).

Note 1:       Subdivision 165-B is about when a company must calculate its taxable income and tax loss for the income year in a special way. Subdivision 165-CB is about when a company must calculate its net capital gain and net capital loss for the income year in a special way.

Note 2:       A company can choose that this Subdivision is not to apply to it: see section 166- 35.

Note 3:       See section 165- 255 for the rule about incomplete test periods.

No corporate change etc.

             (2)  If:

                     (a)  no * corporate change in the company * ends at any time in the * test period; or

                     (b)  a corporate change in the company * ends during the test period, but there is * substantial continuity of ownership as between the start of the test period and immediately after the corporate change ends;

the company is taken to have met the condition in paragraph 165-35(a) (which is about there being persons having * more than a 50% stake in it during the whole of the income year).

Note:          See sections 166-145 and 166- 175 to work out whether there is substantial continuity of ownership and a corporate change.

Corporate change

             (3)  If:

                     (a)  a * corporate change in the company * ends at any time in the * test period; and

                     (b)  there is no * substantial continuity of ownership as between the start of the test period and immediately after the corporate change ends;

then the company is taken to have failed to meet the condition in paragraph 165-35(a).

Satisfies the same business test

             (4)  However, if the company satisfies the * same business test for the rest of the income year (the same business test period ) after the first time (the test time ) in the * test period that a * corporate change in the company * ended, the company is taken to have satisfied the condition in paragraph 165-35(b).

Note 1:       For the same business test, see Subdivision 165-E.

Note 2:       See section 165- 255 for the rule about incomplete test periods.

             (5)  Apply the * same business test to the * business that the company carried on immediately before the * test time.
