Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) If a * participating PDF would otherwise have a * venture capital surplus at the time a * distribution that is * frankable with a venture capital credit is made, the PDF must either:
(a) allocate a * venture capital credit to the distribution that is equal to the * franking credit on the distribution; or
(b) allocate a venture capital credit to the distribution that either alone or when added to venture capital credits allocated to other distributions made under the resolution of the PDF under which the distribution in question is made, reduces the surplus to nil, or creates a * venture capital deficit.
(2) A * venture capital debit arises for a * participating PDF when a * distribution is made if the PDF does not allocate a * venture capital credit in accordance with subsection (1). The amount of the debit is:
where:
"actual franked amount" is the amount of the * venture capital credit that is allocated to the * distribution by the PDF (this may be nil).
"subsection (1) franked amount" is the amount of the *
venture capital credit that would have been allocated to the * distribution if
the PDF had made the smallest allocation needed to satisfy subsection
(1).
