Modifications of Divisions 165 and 166
(2) Despite subsection 165 - 12(1), 166 - 5(2) or 166 - 20(1), the * ownership test period or * test period under that subsection starts at the earlier of:
(a) the first time:
(i) that occurs after the status time; and
(ii) at which the company is not a * designated infrastructure project entity; and
(b) the end of the income year referred to in that subsection as the income year.
(3) In a case to which paragraph (2)(b) applies, the company is treated as meeting the conditions in section 165 - 12.
(4) Despite subsection 165 - 13(2), 166 - 5(5), 165 - 15(2) or 166 - 20(4), the * business continuity test period under that subsection starts at the start of the * ownership test period or * test period (whichever is applicable) if, apart from this subsection, the business continuity test period would start earlier.
(5) Despite subsection 165 - 13(2), 165 - 15(3), 166 - 5(6) or 166 - 20(4), the * test time under that subsection occurs just after the start of the * ownership test period or * test period (whichever is applicable) if, apart from this subsection, the test time would occur earlier.
(6) A reference in subsection 165 - 15(1) to the * loss year is treated as being a reference to the period:
(a) starting at the start of the * ownership test period; and
(b) ending at the end of the income year in which the ownership test period starts.
(7) For the purposes of working out, under paragraph 165 - 45(3)(a) or (b) or subsection 165 - 45(4), the end of the first period, disregard any part of the income year mentioned in section 165 - 45 during which the company is a * designated infrastructure project entity.
