Small Business Restructure Roll-over) Determination 2017 (F2017L01687) modifies the operation of s
40-340
of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
and any other provisions of a taxation law whose operation is affected by the modified operation of s
40-340
in relation to an asset transferred under a small business restructure roll-over (item 8 of the table in s
40-340(1)
).
The operation of the relevant provisions is modified as follows:
If s
40-340
of ITAA 1997 provides for rollover relief in relation to a disposal of a depreciating asset because the condition in item 8 of the table in s
40-340(1)
of ITAA 1997 is satisfied in relation to the asset, that section has effect as if it also provided that the disposal of the asset has no direct consequences under the income tax law (other than Div
40
of ITAA 1997).
The modification applies in respect of transfers on or after 8 May 2018.
An entity must treat a modification as not applying to it or any other entity if the modification would produce a less favourable result for it. The Commissioner is empowered by s
370-5
of Sch

to the
Taxation Administration Act 1953
to make modifications, by legislative instrument, to ensure the law is administered to achieve its intended purpose or object.
