Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
- Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 is an act of the Parliament of Australia. It's one of the main statutes under which income tax is calculated. The act is a rewrite in plain English of the prior Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. New matters are now generally added to the 1997 act rather than the 1936 act too.
Highlighs of the act include,
* Section 8-1 — deductions for expenses incurred earning accessible income, this is the main section covering deductions.
* Section 25-5 — tax deductibility of expenditure on managing tax affairs. This is a separate provision because such expenditure is not directly related to producing income.
* Section 70-10 — the definition of "trading stock", including shares etc held by someone in the business of buying and selling those.
* Parts 3-1 and 3-3, being sections 100-1 to 152-425 — capital gains tax.
