Notice of Withdrawal - Income tax: can section 177EA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 apply to the issue of 'dollar value' convertible notes of the type described in this Taxation Determination?

Draft Taxation Determination TD 2007/D16 considered the potential application of section 177EA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 to a particular type of convertible note that has certain features, including a 'dollar value' conversion mechanism (that are explained in the draft Determination).

TD 2007/D16 is being replaced by TR 2008/D8. To the extent that our views in TD 2007/D16 still apply, they have been incorporated into TR 2008/D8 which issued today.
