Inform the appropriate concession. In order to qualify for the small business 50% active asset reduction on a capital gain, the basic conditions need to be satisfied. If the basic conditions are satisfied the capital gain can be reduced by 50% (after applying any current year capital losses and any unapplied net capital losses from a previous year). If as an individual or trust and both the CGT discount and the small business 50% active asset reduction apply, reduce the capital gain by 50%, then 50% of the remainder ? that is, a total of 75%. Tax Concession Capital Gains Small Business Exemption Asset Or Event Code Code to indicate the type of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) asset or CGT event from which the entity made the capital gain. Inform the relevant field with the appropriate code that best describes the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) asset or CGT event from which the entity made the capital gain. S = shares, U = units in unit trusts, R = real estate, G = goodwill, O = other CGT assets or CGT events not listed above. If the entity made capital gains from more than one CGT asset or CGT event, inform the relevant field with the appropriate code which best describes the type of CGT asset or CGT event that produced the largest amount of capital gain. Tax Concession Capital Gains Small Business Exemption Exempt Amount The total amount of any capital gains disregarded by the small business under the applicable exemption relating to the number of years that the asset has been held. Inform the relevant field with the total amount of any capital gains disregarded by the small business 15-year exemption. It is one of the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) concessions available to small business. It allows an individual to disregard the capital gain made on an asset owned and actively used in the business for 15 years if they satisfy all the conditions. If the small business 15-year exemption conditions are met, the capital gain can be disregarded entirely and there is no need to apply any further concessions. Do to apply capital losses before you apply the 15-year exemption. If the capital gain is from a depreciating asset, do not use the 15-year exemption. Qualifying for the small business 15-year exemption means that the basic conditions for the small business CGT concessions are satisfied (the asset must have been an active asset for at least half of the relevant 15-year period, not half of the full period of ownership), that the CGT asset was continuously owned for the 15-year period ending just before the CGT event, that as an individual in business, at the time of the CGT event the individual was 55 years or more and the event was connected with your retirement, or the individual was permanently incapacitated, that as an individual in business and the CGT asset is a share in a company or an interest in a trust, the company or trust had a controlling individual for the entire time you owned the share or interest (not necessarily the same individual for the whole period), or that as a company or trust, the company or trust had a controlling individual for the entire time it owned the CGT asset (not necessarily the same individual for the whole period). Further, at the time of the CGT event the controlling individual must have been 55 years or more and the event must have been connected with their retirement, or they must have been permanently incapacitated. For CGT assets acquired or transferred under the rollover provisions relating to assets compulsorily acquired, lost or destroyed, or those relating to marriage breakdown, there are modified rules about the requirement that the asset be continuously owned for at least 15 years. Tax Concession Capital Gains Small Business Retirement Exemption Amount The small business retirement exemption concession applied to the capital gains. Inform the relevant field with the amount transferred from the amount calculated on the worksheet. The concession interacts with the eligible termination payment provisions. Broadly, it requires amounts to be paid (rolled over) into a complying superannuation fund, a complying approved deposit fund or a retirement savings account under the eligible termination payment provisions if the recipient is under 55. If the small business retirement exemption is applied after the small business 50% active asset reduction, the exemption is applied to the remaining 50% of the gain. If the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) discount has also applied, the exemption is applied to the remaining 25% of the capital gain. If this concession is chosen, disregard only the amount of capital gain equal to the exempt amount (that is, the amount chosen to be disregarded). Any capital gain that exceeds the exempt amount cannot be disregarded. An individual in business can use the small business retirement exemption to disregard all or part of a capital gain remaining after other concessions have applied if the basic conditions are satisfied, if a written record of the amount you have chosen to disregard is kept (the exempt amount), and if under 55 years just before the capital proceeds from the CGT event were received, an amount equal to the exempt amount under the eligible termination was rolled over. For those over 55 years or more, there is no requirement to roll over any amount. The exempt amount disregarded under this concession is taken to be an eligible termination payment under the eligible termination payment provisions. It must not exceed the CGT retirement exemption limit. If a company or trust (other than a public entity), the small business retirement exemption can be used to disregard all or part of a capital gain remaining after other concessions have applied if the basic conditions are satisfied, if the controlling individual test is satisfied, if a written record of the amount chosen to be disregarded is kept (the exempt amount) and, where there are two CGT concession stakeholders, of each stakeholder?s percentage of the exempt amount (one may be nil, but both must add up to 100%). Make an eligible termination payment for each of CGT concession stakeholder based on each individual?s percentage of the exempt amount. The payment must be made by the end of seven days after the company or trust chooses to disregard the capital gain or receives an amount of capital proceeds from the CGT event, whichever occurs later, and where a stakeholder is under 55 years just before receiving the eligible termination payment, roll over an amount equal to that payment under the eligible termination payment provisions. The exempt amount must not exceed the CGT retirement exemption limit of each individual receiving an eligible termination payment. Tax Concession Capital Gains Small Business Rollover Amount The small business rollover allows you to defer all or part of a capital gain made from a CGT event if you acquire a replacement asset or improve an existing asset. Inform the relevant field with the amount transferred from the amount calculated on the worksheet. The small business rollover allows a capital gain from a CGT event that happens in relation to a small business asset to be deferred if a replacement asset is acquired or an improvement is made to an existing asset and certain conditions are met. If these conditions are met and the rollover is chosen, the amount of any remaining gain by up to the cost of the replacement asset can be deferred (including any incidental costs). If the way a replacement asset is used changes or there is a change in circumstances, the deferred capital gain will 'crystallise'. This means that a capital gain will be made equal to the deferred gain. If the small business rollover is applied after the small business 50% asset reduction, apply it to the remanning 50% of the gain. If the CGT discount has also applied, apply the rollover to the remaining 25% of the capital gain.

Note: If no other amounts are included at Adjustment to Y0, inform this field with a negative value. If a company has left or joined a consolidated group an adjustment (positive or negative) may be required at Adjustment to Y0. It is also used to adjust incremental expenditure claimable at 100% and incremental expenditure that is not deductible. Total of additional schedule where applicable is used to adjust the incremental expenditure claimable at 125%. A negative value may be inserted in these rows if necessary. The types of adjustments that may be required to inform the field of the Y0 amount may also likely affect the amount reported in respect of Y?1, Y?2 and Y?3 for the company and other group members.

If certain expenditure on R&D activities cannot be deducted under the R&D tax concession (for example, capital works deductions for buildings used for the purpose of carrying out R&D activities) that expenditure will still form a part of the aggregate R&D amount. If the relevant amounts are used from part A to determine the aggregate R&D amount of the company, the above will need to be taken into account and any necessary adjustments made. Such adjustments relating to the aggregate R&D amount should be included at amount in part B of the R&D schedule. These adjustments must also be incorporated in the calculation of the aggregate R&D amount of the company and R&D group members in the R&D schedule.
