Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) The complying exploration credit amount (which may be nil) for an income year is worked out by:
(a) starting with the sum of the * exploration credits the entity issues for the income year; and
(b) subtracting from the result of paragraph (a) the sum of any of those exploration credits covered by subsection (2); and
(c) if the result of paragraph (b) exceeds the entity's * maximum exploration credit amount for the income year--subtracting from that result the amount of the excess.
Note: The complying exploration credit amount is the sum of issued exploration credits that were issued (and created) in compliance with this Division. A liability arises under section 418 - 150 if the sum of all issued exploration credits exceeds this amount.
(2) This subsection covers an * exploration credit to the extent to which either or both of the following apply to the credit:
(a) the credit was issued in contravention of a requirement in this Division;
(b) the credit was created in contravention of a requirement in Subdivision 418 - D (other than section 418 - 85).
Note: Because the maximum exploration credit amount from section 418 - 85 is taken into account in paragraph (1)(c) of this section, it is disregarded here.
