6 *Complying superannuation entity that has a *capital loss or *net capital loss to reduce its *capital gain described in paragraph 115-215(3)(c) where: The excess of the reduction amount over the Subdivision 152-C reduction to the paragraph 115-215(3)(c) amount

 (b) that trust gain is reduced by an amount (also the reduction amount) under Subdivision 152-C  
7 Any entity receiving the payment where the trust making the payment, or another trust that is part of the same *chain of trusts, has a *capital loss or *net capital loss to reduce its *capital gain described in subsection 115-215(3) The proportion of the capital loss or net capital loss reflected in the payment

Example:

Claude is paid $100 by the trustee of a unit trust. The trustee advises that the amount comprises $50 CGT discount, $25 small business 50% reduction and $25 net income from a capital gain made by the trust.

In applying the rules in Subdivision 115-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , Claude reduces his capital gain of $100 by a $20 net capital loss from an earlier year. He then reduces the remaining $80 gain by $40 (CGT discount) and $20 (small business 50% reduction) leaving a net capital gain of $20.

In applying the rules in CGT event E4, the $100 payment is reduced by $25 (being the amount assessed under section 97 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ). It is further reduced by $50 under item 1 of the table and $5 under item 3. Claude ' s non-assessable part is $20.

Effectively, CGT event E4 applies to the $20 small business 50% reduction allowed to Claude in applying Subdivision 115-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 .

Note 1:

Step 3 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) (see table item 1) reduces by 50% the trust ' s discount capital gains remaining after applying capital losses and earlier net capital losses. That 50% is excluded from the trust ' s net capital gain.

Note 2:

Subdivision 152-C (small business 50% reduction - see table items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) reduces by 50% the trust ' s capital gains or discount capital gains remaining after applying step 3 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) . That 50% is also excluded from the trust ' s net capital gain.

Note 3:

Paragraph 115-215(3)(b) or (c) (see table items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) treats a beneficiary as having an extra capital gain if an amount of the trust ' s net income that is included in the beneficiary ' s assessable income is attributable to trust gains that were reduced by step 3 of the method statement in subsection 102-5(1) and/or the small business 50% reduction.

104-71(5)  
A chain of trusts consists of 2 or more trusts where at least one of these conditions is satisfied for each of the trusts:


(a) the trustee of the trust owns units or interests in another of the trusts; or


(b) the trustee of another of the trusts owns units or interests in the trust.
