CGT - small business concession - rollover relief

Non-binding edited private advice. This is an edited version of private advice the ATO gave to a specific taxpayer about their own circumstances. You cannot rely on it — it is not binding and provides no protection for anyone else (see PS LA 2008/4). Use it as a guide to the ATO’s thinking, not as authority.

1

Will the Commissioner exercise the discretion under subsection 104-190(2) ofthe Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997) to extend the replacement asset period?

2

Yes. Having regard to the particular circumstances of this case, in particular the construction delays that were experienced, the Commissioner has applied the discretion and will extend the replacement asset period. As a result of delays relating to the purchase of the land and construction of the building, the replacement asset was not active by the end of the rollover period. This is an acceptable explanation for the period of extension required. There would be no prejudice to the ATO by allowing the extension. There is no mischief involved. The Commissioner considers it fair and equitable in these circumstances for an extension to be allowed. This ruling applies for the following periods : Year ending 30 June 2023 Year ending 30 June 2024 The scheme commenced on: 1 July 2022

3

You made a capital gain. You elected to apply the capital gains tax (CGT) small business roll-over concession to the capital gain. Your two-year period to acquire a replacement asset has passed. You acquired an asset and intended to construct a building that would be used by a related entity in carrying on their business. Construction delays outside your control have impacted you.
