How Commissioner works out instalment rate and notional tax for a multirate trustee

45470  Working out instalment rate

 (1) An instalment rate that the Commissioner gives you must be the percentage worked out to 2 decimal places (rounding up if the third decimal place is 5 or more) using the formula:

However, the instalment rate must be a nil rate if either component of the formula is nil.

 (2) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

base assessment instalment income means so much of the assessable income of the trust, as worked out for the purposes of the *base assessment, as the Commissioner determines is *instalment income of the trust for the *base year.

 (3) The base assessment is the latest assessment for the most recent income year for which an assessment has been made of the tax payable by you:

 (a) under subsection 98(1) or (2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in respect of the same beneficiary; or

 (b) under section 99 or 99A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936;

as appropriate.

 (4) However, if the Commissioner is satisfied that there is a later income year for which no tax is payable as mentioned in subsection (3), the base assessment is the latest return or other information from which an assessment of tax so payable for that income year would have been made.

 (5) The base year is the income year to which the *base assessment relates.

45473  Commissioner must notify you of notional tax

 (1) When the Commissioner gives you the instalment rate, he or she must also notify you of the amount of your *notional tax, as worked out for the purposes of working out the instalment rate.

 (2) The Commissioner may incorporate notice of the instalment rate and the amount of your *notional tax in notice of your assessment.

45475  Working out your notional tax

Notional tax if no withholding income

 (1) Your notional tax is your *adjusted tax (worked out under section 45340) on your *adjusted taxable income (worked out under section 45480) for the *base year.

Notional tax if trust has withholding income

 (2) However, your notional tax (as worked out under subsection (1)) is reduced if the trust’s assessable income for the *base assessment includes amounts in respect of *withholding payments (except *nonquotation withholding payments).

 (3) It is reduced (but not below nil) by your *adjusted tax (worked out under section 45340) on your *adjusted withholding income (worked out under section 45485) for the *base year.

Commissioner may take into account actual and proposed changes to the law

 (4) Subsections 45325(4) and (5) apply for the purposes of working out your *notional tax under this section.

45480  Working out your adjusted taxable income

 (1) Your adjusted taxable income for the *base year is worked out using the formula:

 (2) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

adjusted net income of the trust means the net income of the trust, as worked out for the purposes of the *base assessment and:

 (a) reduced by any *net capital gain included in the trust’s assessable income as so worked out; and

 (b) increased by any deductions for *tax losses that were made in so working out that net income; and

 (c) reduced by the amount of any tax loss, to the extent that it can be carried forward for working out the trust’s net income for the next income year.

reduced net income of the trust means the net income of the trust, as worked out for the purposes of the *base assessment and reduced by any *net capital gain included in the trust’s assessable income as so worked out.

relevant share means the *reduced beneficiary’s share, or the *reduced no beneficiary’s share, as appropriate, of the net income of the trust, as worked out for the purposes of the *base assessment.

45483  Meaning of reduced beneficiary’s share and reduced no beneficiary’s share

 (1) If the trustee of a trust is liable to be assessed, and to pay tax, for an income year under subsection 98(1) or (2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in respect of a particular beneficiary, the reduced beneficiary’s share of the net income is the amount on which the trustee is so liable to be assessed and to pay tax, except so much of that amount as is attributable to a *net capital gain included in the trust’s assessable income for that income year.

 (2) If the trustee of a trust is liable to be assessed, and to pay tax, for an income year under section 99 or 99A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, the reduced no beneficiary’s share of the net income is the amount on which the trustee is so liable to be assessed and to pay tax, except so much of that amount as is attributable to a *capital gain made by the trust during that income year.

45485  Working out your adjusted withholding income

 (1) Your adjusted withholding income for the *base year is worked out using the formula:

 (2) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

net withholding income of the trust means:

  the total of the amounts included in the trust’s assessable income for the *base assessment in respect of *withholding payments (except *nonquotation withholding payments);

reduced by:

  the trust’s deductions for that year, as used in making that assessment, to the extent that they reasonably relate to those amounts.

reduced net income of the trust has the meaning given by subsection 45480(2).

relevant share has the meaning given by subsection 45480(2).

How Commissioner works out benchmark instalment rate and benchmark tax for a multirate trustee

45525  When Commissioner works out benchmark instalment rate and benchmark tax

 (1) The Commissioner may work out your *benchmark instalment rate for an income year (the variation year) if, under section 45205, you choose an instalment rate to work out the amount of your instalment for an *instalment quarter in that year.

 (2) The Commissioner may work out your *benchmark tax for an income year (the variation year) if, under paragraph 45112(1)(b) or (c), the amount of your instalment for an *instalment quarter in an income year is worked out on the basis of your estimate of your *benchmark tax for that income year.

 (3) The Commissioner may work out your *benchmark tax for an income year (the variation year) if, under paragraph 45115(1)(c) or 45175(1)(b), you estimate the amount of your annual instalment for that year.

45530  How Commissioner works out benchmark instalment rate

 (1) Your benchmark instalment rate for the variation year is the percentage worked out to 2 decimal places (rounding up if the third decimal place is 5 or more) using the formula:

However, your benchmark instalment rate is a nil rate if either component of the formula is nil.

 (2) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

variation year instalment income means so much of the trust’s assessable income for the variation year as the Commissioner determines is *instalment income for that year.

45535  Working out your benchmark tax

Benchmark tax if no withholding income

 (1) Your benchmark tax is your *adjusted assessed tax (worked out under section 45375) on the *reduced beneficiary’s share, or the *reduced no beneficiary’s share, as appropriate, of the net income of the trust for the variation year.

Benchmark tax if you had withholding income

 (2) However, your benchmark tax (as worked out under subsection (1)) is reduced if the trust’s assessable income for the variation year includes amounts in respect of *withholding payments.

 (3) It is reduced (but not below nil) by the total amount of the credits to which you are entitled for the variation year under section 1825 (for amounts withheld from the withholding payments).


Schedule 2Fringe benefits tax instalments

 

Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986

1  Section 105

Repeal the section, substitute:

105  Credit for instalments payable

 (1) An employer is entitled to a credit when the Commissioner:

 (a) makes an assessment of the tax payable by the employer for a year of tax; or

 (b) determines that no tax is payable.

Note: The employer’s first return for the year of tax is treated as an assessment: see section 72.

 (2) The credit is equal to:

  the total of each instalment (if any) payable by the employer for the year of tax;

reduced by:

  the total of any credits the employer has claimed under section 112A because of one or more instalments of tax for the year of tax.

Note: An employer can claim a credit under section 112A in some cases where the amount by reference to which an instalment is worked out reduces during the year of tax.

 (3) The making of the assessment or determination, and the resulting credit entitlement, do not affect the liability to pay an instalment.

Note: How the credit is applied is set out in Division 3 of Part IIB of the Taxation Administration Act 1953.

2  Subsections 110(1), (2) and (3)

Repeal the subsections, substitute:

 (1) An employer’s notional tax amount for a year of tax (the current year) as at a particular time (the test time) is worked out using the table, except as provided in subsections (3), (4) and (5).

 

Working out an employer’s notional tax amount

Item

In this case:

The notional tax amount is:

1

No other item applies

the amount of the employer’s tax for the most recent year of tax (the base year) for which the Commissioner has made an assessment before the test time.

2

Before the test time, the Commissioner has determined that no tax is payable by the employer for a year of tax, and there is no later year of tax for which the Commissioner has made an assessment of the employer’s tax before the test time

nil

3

There is no year of tax for which the Commissioner has, before the test time, made an assessment of the employer’s tax or determined that no tax is payable by the employer

nil

4

The notional tax amount would otherwise be worked out under item 1 and:

(a) the rate of tax declared by the Parliament for the current year is different from the rate declared for the base year; and

(b) the regulations provide for varying the notional tax amount of employers for the current year

if the test time is before the prescribed day—the notional tax amount worked out under item 1; or

if the test time is on and after the prescribed day—that amount as varied in accordance with the regulations.

Note: The employer’s first return for the year of tax is treated as an assessment: see section 72.

 (3) The Commissioner may determine that the employer’s notional tax amount for the current year is such amount as the Commissioner estimates will be the tax payable by the employer for that year, if the Commissioner has reason to believe that that tax will exceed:

 (a) if the notional tax amount would otherwise be worked out under item 1 or 4 of the table in subsection (1)—the amount of the employer’s tax for the base year; or

 (b) if the notional tax amount would otherwise be worked out under item 2 or 3 of the table in subsection (1)—nil.

3  Subsection 111(1)

Repeal the subsection, substitute:

 (1) The amount of an instalment of tax of an employer for a year of tax that becomes due and payable on the 21st day after the end of a quarter is the amount worked out using this formula, if the amount is positive:

Otherwise, the amount of the instalment is nil.

Note: If the notional tax amount is too small, the instalment may not be payable: see subsection (2).

 (1A) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (1):

notional tax amount means the employer’s notional tax amount for the year of tax, as at the end of the last day of that quarter.

previous credits means the total of any credits the employer has claimed under section 112A because of one or more instalments of tax for the same year of tax that became due and payable before that day.

previous instalments means the total of any instalments of tax for the same year of tax that became due and payable by the employer before that day.

4  Subsection 111(2)

After “year of tax” (first occurring), insert “that would otherwise become due and payable by an employer on the 21st day after the end of a quarter”.

5  Paragraph 111(2)(a)

Omit “or (2)”.

6  At the end of subsection 111(2)

Add:

 ; and (c) unless that quarter is the first quarter in the year of tax—because of one or more previous applications of this subsection, the instalment that would otherwise have become due and payable by the employer on the 21st day after the end of the previous quarter is not payable.

7  Subsections 112(4), (4A) and (5)

Repeal the subsections.

8  After section 112

Insert:

112A  Credit in certain cases where amount of instalment is nil

 (1) If an amount worked out using the formula in subsection 111(1) is negative, the employer is entitled to claim a credit equal to that amount, expressed as a positive amount.

Note: This will happen if the notional tax amount has reduced since the end of an earlier quarter because, for example, the employer has made an estimate under section 112 of its tax for the current year.

 (2) A claim for a credit must be made in the approved form on or before the 21st day after the end of the quarter.

Note: How the credit is applied is set out in Division 3 of Part IIB of the Taxation Administration Act 1953.

112B  Liability to GIC on shortfall in quarterly instalment worked out on the basis of estimated tax

 (1) An employer is liable to pay the general interest charge under this section if:

 (a) in order to determine the amount of an instalment of tax (the underpaid instalment) of the employer for a year of tax, an amount (whether positive, negative or nil) (the actual amount) was worked out using the formula in subsection 111(1); and

 (b) because of subsection 110(5), the notional tax amount used in working out the actual amount was an estimate by the employer under subsection 112(1); and

 (c) that notional tax amount is less than 90% of the employer’s tax assessed for the year of tax; and

 (d) that assessed tax has become due and payable.

Note: Paragraph (1)(b) is not satisfied if the notional tax amount used in working out the actual amount was estimated tax worked out under subsection 112(3) because the Commissioner disagrees with the employer’s estimate.

 (2) The employer is liable to pay the charge, for each day in the GIC period, on the amount (if any) by which the actual amount is less than the amount (whether positive, negative or nil) worked out using the formula:

 (3) For the purposes of the formula in subsection (2):

minimum tax amount means the lesser of:

 (a) the amount that, apart from subsection 110(5), would have been the notional tax amount used in working out the actual amount; and

 (b) the employer’s tax assessed for the year of tax.

previous credits means the total of any credits the employer has claimed under section 112A because of one or more instalments of tax for the same year of tax that became due and payable before that day.

previous instalments means the total of any instalments of tax for the same year of tax that became due and payable by the employer before the day on which the underpaid instalment became due and payable (or would have become due and payable if the actual amount had been positive).

 (4) The amount of the general interest charge is taken to be additional tax payable under this section.

9  Subsection 112A(1) (note)

Repeal the note, substitute:

Note: This will happen if the notional tax amount has reduced since the end of an earlier quarter because, for example:

10  Subsection 136(1)

Insert:
