Insert:
128A Special provisions applying if financial claims scheme entitlements arise in relation to FHSAs
Application
(1) This section applies if an entitlement under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 arises in connection with an FHSA (the old FHSA ) held by a person.
Some contributions treated as transfers from old FHSA
(2) If a contribution to another FHSA is made for the purposes of:
(a) meeting the entitlement (wholly or partly); or
(b) paying a distribution attributable to the old FHSA from the liquidation of the provider of the old FHSA;
this Act applies as if the contribution were by way of a transfer from the old FHSA to the other FHSA.
Note: The effects of this include the contribution being covered by paragraph 11(3)(a), so that the contribution is not a personal FHSA contribution, does not count against the limit on contributions set by section 27 and does not count for working out the amount of a Government FHSA contribution for the person under section 38.
Old FHSA does not affect whether person meets FHSA eligibility requirements
(3) For the purposes of determining whether the person meets the FHSA eligibility requirements after the entitlement arises, disregard the old FHSA for the purposes of paragraphs 15(1)(e) and (f).
Note: This ensures that the holding and closure of the old FHSA after the entitlement arises cannot prevent the person from meeting the FHSA eligibility requirements.
Opening of new FHSA to meet entitlement
(4) Subsection 19(1) does not apply to the opening of an FHSA:
(a) under section 16AH of the Banking Act 1959 for the purposes of meeting the entitlement (wholly or partly); or
(b) under section 16AR of that Act for the purposes of paying a distribution attributable to the old FHSA from the liquidation of the provider of the old FHSA.
Note: A defendant in a prosecution for an offence against section 19 bears an evidential burden in relation to the matter in subsection (4) of this section: see subsection 13.3(3) of the Criminal Code .
Notice of person not meeting the FHSA eligibility requirements
(5) If:
(a) an FHSA (the new FHSA ) is opened:
(i) under section 16AH of the Banking Act 1959 for the purposes of meeting the entitlement (wholly or partly); or
(ii) under section 16AR of that Act for the purposes of paying a distribution attributable to the old FHSA from the liquidation of the provider of the old FHSA; and
(b) before the new FHSA was opened, circumstances arose resulting in the person not meeting the FHSA eligibility requirements; and
(c) after the opening of the new FHSA, the person continues not to meet the FHSA eligibility requirements;
section 20 applies to the person as the holder of the new FHSA in relation to the provider of the new FHSA, but so as to require the person to give notice within 30 days after notice is sent to the person of the opening of the new FHSA.
Payment connected with right given to APRA by the Banking Act 1959
(6) Nothing in this Act or the regulations prevents the provider of the old FHSA from paying an amount out of the FHSA in connection with a right to be paid an amount by the provider that APRA had in connection with the old FHSA because of section 16AI of the Banking Act 1959 .
Note: Section 16AI of the Banking Act 1959 gives APRA the right (or part of the right) the holder of the old FHSA had to be paid an amount by the provider of the old FHSA in connection with the old FHSA.

Operative provisions
393‑80 Farm management deposits arising from farm management deposits with ADIs subject to financial claims scheme
393‑85 Repayment if owner of farm management deposit with insolvent ADI is bankrupt, dies or ceases to be a primary producer
Application
(1) This section applies if an entitlement arises under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 in connection with an account containing a farm management deposit (the old farm management deposit ) with an ADI (the old ADI ) and either:
(a) an amount (the new deposit ) is deposited into one of the following to meet, in whole or part, so much of the entitlement as relates to the old farm management deposit:
(i) an existing account for a farm management deposit;
(ii) an account established under section 16AH of that Act for the purposes of meeting (wholly or partly) the entitlement; or
(b) an amount (also the new deposit ) is deposited by a liquidator of the old ADI into one of the following as so much of a distribution from the liquidation of the old ADI as relates to the old farm management deposit:
(i) an existing account for a farm management deposit;
(ii) an account established under section 16AR of that Act for the payment of the distribution.
Note: If an amount is deposited in connection with an account with the old ADI containing 2 or more old farm management deposits, the amount is to be apportioned between each old farm management deposit, so that so much of the amount as is attributable to a particular old farm management deposit is regarded as a distinct new deposit relating to that old farm management deposit.
New deposit is a farm management deposit
(2) This Division (except this section) applies to the new deposit as if it were a transfer of the old farm management deposit in accordance with a requirement of the agreement for the old farm management deposit as mentioned in subsection 393‑40(5). To avoid doubt, this Division applies in that way as if the amount transferred were the amount of the new deposit, even if that is more or less than the amount of the old farm management deposit.
Note 1: The effects of this include the following:
(a) the applicable depositing day for the old farm management deposit is maintained under paragraph 393‑37(7)(c) or (d) for the new deposit (which affects whether a withdrawal of the new deposit prevents it from being a farm management deposit);
(b) the new deposit is not regarded as a repayment of the old farm management deposit that is assessable income (see subsection 393‑50(5));
(c) the making of the new deposit does not give rise to a deduction (see subsection 393‑50(5)).
Note 2: Also, the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the new deposit is the same as the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the old farm management deposit (see subsection 393‑50(5)), unless subsection (6) or (7) of this section applies because the new deposit is less than the old farm management deposit.
(3) Subsection 393‑35(5) does not apply in relation to either of the following to prevent it from being a farm management deposit:
(a) the new deposit;
(b) a deposit made later directly by the transfer of the new deposit in accordance with a requirement of the agreement for the new deposit as mentioned in subsection 393‑40(5).
Note: This means that the new deposit, or a deposit made as a direct result of the transfer of the new deposit, can be a farm management deposit (despite subsection 393‑45(1)) even if it is less than $1,000.
(4) For the purposes of subsection 393‑35(7), disregard the old farm management deposit in determining whether a deposit made after the entitlement arises is a farm management deposit.
Note: This means that a deposit made with a financial institution other than the old ADI after the entitlement arises can be a farm management deposit (despite subsection 393‑45(1)) even though the owner of the deposit still has the old farm management deposit with the old ADI.
(5) Subsection 393‑35(7) does not apply to the new deposit to prevent it from being a farm management deposit.
Note: This ensures that the new deposit can be a farm management deposit (despite subsection 393‑45(1)) even though the owner of the new deposit has other farm management deposits with other financial institutions when the new deposit is made.
Unrecouped FMD deduction for new deposit less than old farm management deposit
(6) Despite subsection (2) and paragraph 393‑50(5)(c), if the new deposit is less than the old farm management deposit at the time (the declaration time ) the old ADI became a declared ADI under the Banking Act 1959 , the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the new deposit is the amount worked out using the formula:
Note: The new deposit could be less than the old farm management deposit if the entitlement is paid in instalments (each of which will be a separate new deposit).
(7) However, if the amount worked out under subsection (6) is more than the difference (if any) between:
(a) the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the old farm management deposit just before the declaration time; and
(b) the total of the amounts worked out under all previous applications of subsection (6) in relation to that old farm management deposit;
the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the new deposit is equal to the difference (if any).
Note: This ensures that when new deposits linked to the old farm management deposit are repaid, the total amount included in assessable income will not exceed the unrecouped FMD deduction in respect of the old farm management deposit.
Relationship with other provisions
(8) This section has effect despite Division 253 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (which is about tax treatment of entitlements under the financial claims scheme for insolvent ADIs).
(1) This section applies if:
(a) you are the owner of a farm management deposit with an ADI that becomes repayable during a year of income in accordance with a requirement of the agreement concerned to the effect mentioned in subsection 393‑40(3) (which covers death, bankruptcy and ceasing to be a primary producer); and
(b) during the year of income the ADI becomes a declared ADI under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 ; and
(c) at the end of the year of income, you have either or both of the following:
(i) an unmet entitlement under that Division connected with the account for the farm management deposit;
(ii) an unmet claim against the ADI, or an unpaid debt owed to you by the ADI, in the winding up of the ADI that is a claim or debt that is connected with the account for the farm management deposit.
(2) Subsection 393‑15(4) does not apply in relation to so much of the farm management deposit as is equal to the sum of the amounts described in subparagraphs (1)(c)(i) and (ii).
16 Application
The amendments of Schedule 2G to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 made by this Schedule apply to assessments for the year of income including 18 October 2008 and later years of income.

(1) This Act applies to you as if an amount paid to you, or applied for your benefit, to meet your entitlement under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 connected with an account with an * ADI had been paid to you by the ADI under the terms and conditions of the agreement for keeping the account.
Note: This section has effect subject to more detailed provisions about:
(a) entitlements relating to retirement savings accounts (see section 306‑25); and
(b) entitlements relating to farm management deposits (see Subdivision 393‑D in Schedule 2G to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ).
(2) To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not affect the operation of Part 2‑5 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 .
Note: Division 21 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 contains special provisions about how Part 2‑5 in that Schedule operates in relation to the meeting of entitlements under Division 2AA of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 .
Disregard a * capital gain or * capital loss you make:
(a) because of the operation of section 16AI of the Banking Act 1959 ; or
(b) because your entitlement under Subdivision C of Division 2AA of Part II of that Act is met.
Note: Section 16AI of the Banking Act 1959 reduces the right of an account‑holder who has a protected account with a declared ADI to be paid an amount by the ADI, by the account‑holder's entitlement under Subdivision C of Division 2AA of Part II of that Act to be paid an amount by APRA in connection with the account.
(1) This section applies if an entitlement arises under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 in connection with an account‑holder's account with an * ADI.
(2) The * cost base and * reduced cost base of the * CGT asset consisting of the entitlement are each the amount of the entitlement.
(3) The * cost base of the * CGT asset representing the part (if any) of the account‑holder's right to be paid an amount by the * ADI in connection with the account that remains after the reduction of that right by section 16AI of the Banking Act 1959 (by the amount of the entitlement) is the difference (if any) between:
(a) the cost base of the right as it was immediately before the reduction; and
(b) the amount of the entitlement.
The * reduced cost base is worked out similarly.
(4) This section has effect despite:
(a) Division 110 (Cost base and reduced cost base); and
(b) subsections 112‑30(2), (3), (4) and (5) (which are about apportioning a * cost base if a * CGT event happens to only part of a * CGT asset).

Add:
306‑25 Payments connected with financial claims scheme to RSAs
(1) This section applies if:
(a) a person is the holder of an * RSA (the old RSA ) of which an * ADI is the * RSA provider; and
(b) an entitlement of the person arises under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 in connection with the old RSA; and
(c) either:
(i) the entitlement, so far as it relates to the old RSA, is met wholly or partly by the making of a payment to another RSA (the new RSA ) that the person is the holder of (whether or not the new RSA was established under section 16AH of the Banking Act 1959 ); or
(ii) a liquidator of the ADI pays a distribution from the liquidation of the ADI, so far as the distribution is attributable to the old RSA, to another RSA (also the new RSA ) that the person is the holder of (whether or not the new RSA was established under section 16AR of the Banking Act 1959 ).
(2) This Part (except this section), and the other provisions of this Act (except this section) so far as they relate to this Part, apply in relation to the payment to the new RSA as if:
(a) the payment were made from the old RSA to the new RSA; and
(b) the entity that made the payment (rather than the * ADI) were the * RSA provider of the old RSA.
Note: The effects of this include:
(a) the payment is a superannuation member benefit of the person (because of sections 307‑5 and 307‑15); and
(b) the payment is a superannuation lump sum under Subdivision 307‑B (unless regulations prevent this); and
(c) the payment is a roll‑over superannuation benefit under section 306‑10 (unless regulations prevent this); and
(d) reporting obligations (such as those in section 390‑10 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 ) apply to the entity that made the payment as if it were the RSA provider of the old RSA.
(3) However, for the purposes of section 307‑125, determine the * value of the * superannuation interest, and the amount of each of the * tax free component and the * taxable component of the interest:
(a) when the entitlement arose; or
(b) if a * superannuation income stream benefit had been paid from the old RSA before that time--at the time the relevant * superannuation income stream commenced.
(4) Subsection (3) has effect despite:
(a) subsection 307‑125(3) (as it applies because of subsection (2) of this section); and
(b) paragraph 307‑125(3)(a) of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 .
(5) This section has effect despite:
(a) Division 253; and
(b) Division 21 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 .
22 Application
(1) Section 306‑ 25 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies in relation to entitlements arising under Division 2AA (Financial claims scheme for account‑holders with insolvent ADIs) of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 after 17 October 2008.
Note: Division 2AA of Part II of the Banking Act 1959 commenced on 18 October 2008.
