(1) You are taken for the purposes of this Division to make a loss from a * financial arrangement if:
(a) a provision of this Subdivision has applied on the basis that you were sufficiently certain, at a particular time, to receive a * financial benefit of, or of at least, a particular amount under the arrangement; and
(b) when you receive the benefit (or the time comes for you to receive the benefit), the amount you receive (or are to receive) is nil or is less than the amount estimated.
The amount of the loss is equal to the difference between the amount estimated and the amount you receive (or are to receive). You are taken to have made the loss for the income year in which you receive the benefit (or in which the time comes for you to receive the benefit).
(1A) Subsection (1) does not apply to the extent that the difference results from:
(a) an impairment (within the meaning of the * accounting principles) of:

(b) when you receive the benefit, or the time comes for you to receive the benefit, the amount you receive, or are to receive, is more than the amount estimated.
