INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 820.225

Application to part year periods

  (1)   This subsection disallows all or a part of each * debt deduction of an entity for an income year that is an amount incurred by the entity during a period that is a part of that year, if:

  (a)   the entity is an * inward investing financial entity (non - ADI) for that period, but is not also an * outward investing financial entity (non - ADI) for all or any part of that period; and

  (b)   the entity's * adjusted average debt for that period exceeds the entity's * maximum allowable debt for that period.

Note:   To determine whether an entity is an inward investing financial entity (non - ADI) for a period, see subsection   820 - 185(2).

  (2)   The entity's adjusted average debt for that period is the result of applying the method statement in this subsection.

Method statement

Step 1.   Work out the average value, for that period, of all the * debt capital of the entity that gives rise to * debt deductions of the entity for that or any other income year.

Step 2.   Reduce the result of step 1 by the average value, for that period, of:

  (a)   if the entity is an * inward investment vehicle (financial) for that period--all the * associate entity debt of the entity; or

  (b)   if the entity is an * inward investor (financial) for that period--all the associate entity debt of the entity, to the extent that it is attributable to the entity's * Australian permanent establishments.

Step 3.   If the entity is a * financial entity throughout that period, add to the result of step 2 the average value, for that period, of the entity's * borrowed securities amount.

Step 4.   Add to the result of step 3 the average value, for that period, of the * cost - free debt capital of the entity. The result of this step is the adjusted average debt .

Note:   To calculate an average value for the purposes of this Division, see Subdivision   820 - G.

  (2A)   The entity's * adjusted average debt does not exceed its * maximum allowable debt if the adjusted average debt is nil or a negative amount.

  (3)   For the purposes of determining:

  (a)   the * maximum allowable debt for the period mentioned in subsection   (1); and

  (b)   the amount of each * debt deduction to be disallowed;

sections   820 - 190 to 820 - 220 apply in relation to that entity and that period with the modifications set out in the following table:
