INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 240.3

How the recharacterisation affects the notional seller

Effect of notional sale

  (1)   The consideration for the notional sale is either the price stated as the cost or value of the property or its arm's length value. If the notional seller is disposing of the property as trading stock, the normal consequences of disposing of trading stock follow. In particular, the notional seller will be assessed on the sale price.

  (2)   Where the property is not trading stock the notional seller's assessable income will include any profit made by the notional seller on the notional sale or on the sale of the property after a notional re - acquisition.

Effect of notional loan

  (3)   The notional seller's assessable income will include notional interest over the period of the loan.

Other effects

  (4)   These effects displace the income tax consequences that would otherwise arise from the arrangement. For example, the actual payments to the notional seller are not included in its assessable income. Also, the notional seller loses the right to deduct amounts under Division   40 (about capital allowances).
