Notional loan (2) If you issue an *eligible security under a *facility agreement otherwise than as a result of a roll‑over, you are taken to have been given a loan (the notional loan): (a) of a *foreign currency principal amount equal to the foreign currency face value of the security; and (b) for a period equal to the term of the security; and (c) that is taken to be attached to the security; and (d) the start time of which is the time when you issued the security. Note 1: The period of the notional loan may be extended as the result of a later roll‑over—see subsection (3). Note 2: The notional loan may become attached to a later security as the result of a roll‑over—see subsection (3). Note 3: The foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan may remain the same, or may fall (but not rise), as a result of a later roll‑over—see subsection (3). Note 4: If, at a later time, the security is rolled‑over, and the foreign currency face value of the new security exceeds the foreign currency face value of the rolled‑over security, you are taken to have been given an additional notional loan of a foreign currency principal amount equal to the excess—see subsection (3). Effect of roll‑over (3) The table has effect if an *eligible security is rolled‑over under a *facility agreement: Roll‑over of eligible security Item If the foreign currency face value of the new security... this is the result... 1 equals the *foreign currency face value of the rolled‑over security (a) the period of each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security is extended by the term of the new security; and (b) each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security is taken to be attached to the new security. 2 exceeds the *foreign currency face value of the rolled‑over security (a) you are taken to have been given an additional notional loan: (i) of a foreign currency principal amount equal to the excess; and (ii) for a period equal to the term of the new security; and (iii) that is taken to be attached to the new security; and (iv) the start time of which is the time when you issued the new security; and (b) the period of each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security is extended by the term of the new security; and (c) each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security is taken to be attached to the new security. 3 falls short of the *foreign currency face value of the rolled‑over security, and there is only one notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security (a) you are taken to have paid a foreign currency amount equal to the shortfall in order to discharge so much of your obligation to pay the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan as equals the shortfall; and (b) the period of the notional loan is extended by the term of the new security; and (c) the notional loan is taken to be attached to the new security. 4 falls short of the *foreign currency face value of the rolled‑over security, and there are 2 or more notional loans attached to the rolled‑over security (a) you are taken to have paid a foreign currency amount equal to the shortfall in order to discharge your obligation to pay so much of the total foreign currency principal amounts of the notional loans as equals the shortfall, and to have done so on a first‑in first‑out basis, that is to say: (i) first, by fully or partly discharging (as the case requires) your obligation to pay the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan with the earliest start date; and (ii) second, if your obligation to pay the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan with the earliest start date is fully discharged—by fully or partly discharging (as the case requires) your obligation to pay the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan with the next start date, and so on; and (b) the period of each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security that is not fully discharged is extended by the term of the new security; and (c) each notional loan attached to the rolled‑over security that is not fully discharged is taken to be attached to the new security. Consequences if security is not rolled‑over (4) If: (a) you discharge your obligation under an *eligible security issued under a *facility agreement; and (b) the security is not rolled‑over at the time of discharge; and (c) you have made a choice for roll‑over relief for the facility agreement, and that choice is in effect; then, for each notional loan attached to the security, you are taken to have paid a *foreign currency amount equal to the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan in order to discharge your obligation to pay the foreign currency principal amount of the notional loan. Foreign currency (5) For the purposes of the application of this section to a particular *facility agreement that provides for the issue of *eligible securities, foreign currency is the *foreign currency in which the securities are denominated. Note: Section 960‑50 (Australian currency translation rule) does not affect the operation of this section—see subsection 960‑50(10). You translate to Australian currency when you apply section 775‑215 (forex realisation event 6). 775‑215 Discharge of obligation to pay the principal amount of a notional loan under a facility agreement—forex realisation event 6 Forex realisation event 6 (1) Forex realisation event 6 happens if: (a) you discharge an obligation, or a part of an obligation, to pay the *foreign currency principal amount of a notional loan attached to an *eligible security issued by you under a *facility agreement; and (b) you have made a choice for roll‑over relief for the agreement, and that choice is in effect. Time of event (2) The time of the event is when you discharge the obligation or the part of the obligation. Forex realisation gain (3) You make a forex realisation gain if: (a) the amount of the obligation, or the part of the obligation, at the start time of the notional loan, exceeds the amount you paid in order to discharge the obligation or the part of the obligation; and (b) some or all of the excess is attributable to a *currency exchange rate effect. The amount of the forex realisation gain is so much of the excess as is attributable to a currency exchange rate effect. Note: For currency exchange rate effect, see section 775‑105. Forex realisation loss (4) You make a forex realisation loss if: (a) the amount of the obligation, or the part of the obligation, at the start time of the notional loan, falls short of the amount you paid in order to discharge the obligation or the part of the obligation; and (b) some or all of the shortfall is attributable to a *currency exchange rate effect. The amount of the forex realisation loss is so much of the shortfall as is attributable to a currency exchange rate effect. Note: For currency exchange rate effect, see section 775‑105. Exempt income etc. (5) For the purposes of the application of sections 775‑20, 775‑25 and 775‑35 to the event, assume that the notional loan had been an actual loan. 775‑220 Material variation of a facility agreement—forex realisation event 7 Forex realisation event 7 (1) Forex realisation event 7 happens if: (a) a material variation is made to the terms or conditions of a *facility agreement; or (b) a material variation is made to the effect of a facility agreement; or (c) a material variation is made to the type or types of security that can be issued under a facility agreement; so long as you have made a choice for roll‑over relief for the facility agreement, and that choice is in effect. Note: See also subsections (7) and (8). Time of the event (2) The time of the event is when the material variation happens. Forex realisation gain (3) You make a forex realisation gain if: (a) the total of the forex realisation gains that you would have made as a result of forex realisation event 6 if you had, at the time of forex realisation event 7: (i) discharged your liabilities under each of the notional loans to which the agreement relates; and (ii) not rolled‑over any *eligible security; exceeds: (b) the total of the forex realisation losses that you would have made as a result of forex realisation event 6 if you had, at the time of forex realisation event 7: (i) discharged your liabilities under each of the notional loans to which the agreement relates; and (ii) not rolled‑over any eligible security. The amount of the forex realisation gain is the amount of the excess. Note: See also subsection (9). Forex realisation loss (4) You make a forex realisation loss if: (a) the total of the forex realisation losses that you would have made as a result of forex realisation event 6 if you had, at the time of forex realisation event 7: (i) discharged your liabilities under each of the notional loans to which the agreement relates; and (ii) not rolled‑over any *eligible security; exceeds: (b) the total of the forex realisation gains that you would have made as a result of forex realisation event 6 if you had, at the time of forex realisation event 7: (i) discharged your liabilities under each of the notional loans to which the agreement relates; and (ii) not rolled‑over any eligible security. The amount of the forex realisation loss is the amount of the excess. Note: See also subsection (9). Termination of choice (5) If forex realisation event 7 happens in relation to a *facility agreement: (a) your choice for roll‑over relief for the facility agreement ceases to have effect immediately after the event; and (b) you are not entitled to make a fresh choice for roll‑over relief for the facility agreement. Modification of tax recognition time (6) If: (a) forex realisation event 7 happens in relation to a *facility agreement; and (b) an *eligible security issued by you under the facility agreement was in existence at the time of that event; and (c) at a later time, forex realisation event 4 happens because you cease to have an obligation, or a part of an obligation, to pay *foreign currency under the security; section 775‑55 applies to you as if the tax recognition time for the obligation, or the part of the obligation, were the time of forex realisation event 7 (despite subsection 775‑55(7)). Material variation (7) To avoid doubt, if a variation to: (a) the terms or conditions of a facility agreement; or (b) the effect of a facility agreement; results in the agreement ceasing to be a facility agreement, the variation is taken to be a material variation for the purposes of subsection (1). (8) The regulations may provide that a specified kind of variation is taken to be a material variation for the purposes of subsection (1). Total amount (9) To avoid doubt, the total amount referred to in paragraph (3)(b) or (4)(b) may be zero. Subdivision 775‑D—Qualifying forex accounts that pass the limited balance test Guide to Subdivision 775‑D 775‑225 What this Subdivision is about You may elect to have this Subdivision apply to one or more qualifying forex accounts held by you. If you elect to have this Subdivision apply to an account, a forex realisation gain or a forex realisation loss you make in relation to the account as a result of forex realisation event 2 or 4 is disregarded if the account passes the limited balance test. For an account to pass the limited balance test, the combined balance of all the accounts covered by your election must not be more than the foreign currency equivalent of $250,000. The limited balance test includes a buffer provision which allows the combined balance to be more than the foreign currency equivalent of $250,000, but not more than the foreign currency equivalent of $500,000, for not more than 2 15‑day periods in any income year.

Note: For currency exchange rate effect, see section 775‑105. 775‑285 Retranslation of gains and losses relating to a qualifying forex account—forex realisation event 8 Forex realisation event 8 (1) Forex realisation event 8 happens if: (a) you have made a choice for retranslation for a *qualifying forex account held by you; and (b) that choice was in effect throughout a continuous period (the retranslation period) consisting of: (i) an income year; or (ii) a particular part of an income year; and (c) either: (i) there is a positive retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period (worked out under subsection (2)); or (ii) there is a negative retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period (worked out under subsection (3)). Retranslation amount (2) If the amount worked out using the formula in subsection (4) is a positive amount, that amount is a positive retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period. (3) If the amount worked out using the formula in subsection (4) is a negative amount, that amount is a negative retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period. (4) Work out an amount for the account for the retranslation period using the formula: (5) For the purposes of subsection (4), a debit balance is to be expressed as a negative amount (for example, a debit balance of $50,000 is to be expressed as$50,000). Forex realisation gain (6) You make a forex realisation gain if there is a positive retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period. The amount of the forex realisation gain is the positive retranslation amount. Forex realisation loss (7) You make a forex realisation loss if there is a negative retranslation amount for the account for the retranslation period. The amount of the forex realisation loss is the negative retranslation amount. (8) For the purposes of subsection (7), reverse a negative amount (for example, a negative retranslation amount of$50,000 will become a forex realisation loss of $50,000). Translation of foreign currency (9) For the purposes of the application of section 960‑50 to this section: (a) if a retranslation period for an account did not begin immediately after the end of another retranslation period for the account—the opening balance of the account for the first‑mentioned retranslation period is to be translated to Australian currency at the exchange rate applicable at the start of the first‑mentioned retranslation period; and (b) if a retranslation period for an account began immediately after the end of another retranslation period for the account—the opening balance of the account for the first‑mentioned retranslation period is to be translated to Australian currency at the exchange rate applicable at the end of the other retranslation period; and (c) the closing balance of an account for a retranslation period is to be translated to Australian currency at the exchange rate applicable at the end of the retranslation period; and (d) each deposit is to be translated to Australian currency at the exchange rate applicable at the time of the deposit; and (e) each withdrawal is to be translated to Australian currency at the exchange rate applicable at the time of the withdrawal.
