                     (b)  that was made under a law of a State.

reviewable Territory decision means a decision:

                     (a)  to which the amended Act applies because of the application of paragraph (b) of the definition of decision to which this Act applies in subsection 3(1) of that Act; and

Reviewable State decisions made before the commencement--situations in which period for seeking review under amended Act is extended

(2)       In each of the following situations, the amended Act applies in relation to a person and a reviewable State decision as if the prescribed period for the purposes of paragraph 11(1)(c) of that Act began on the commencement and ended on the later of the 28th day after the commencement and the day on which that prescribed period would, apart from this subitem, have ended:

                     (a)  the first situation--the decision was made during the period starting on 20 May 1999 and ending immediately before the commencement;

                     (b)  the second situation--before 17 June 1999, the Federal Court of Australia, purporting to act under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 as purportedly applied as a law of a State, made an order allowing the person further time to make an application for an order of review of the decision and that period of time had not expired by 17 June 1999;

Reviewable Territory decisions--ACT and NT laws no longer operate to apply the AD(JR) Act

(3)       A law of the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory that provides for the application of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 as a law of that Territory is of no effect at any time after the commencement so far as that law purports to apply that Act in relation to a reviewable Territory decision (whenever it was made).

Note:       The amended Act applies to these decisions.

Reviewable Territory decisions--review proceedings continue after the commencement under the amended Act

(4)       If, immediately before the commencement, proceedings in relation to a reviewable Territory decision were before a court under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 as applying as a law of the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory, then, on and after the commencement, those proceedings continue as if they had been commenced in that court under the amended Act.

Reviewable Territory decisions--continued effect of orders made before the commencement

(5)       An order made by a court before the commencement under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 as applying as a law of the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory has effect, on and after the commencement, as if it had been made by that court under the amended Act.

Tax Laws Amendment (Repeal of Inoperative Provisions) Act 2006
(No. 101, 2006)

Schedule 6

5  Application of Schedule 5 amendments

The repeals and amendments made by Schedule 5 apply to acts done or omitted to be done, or states of affairs existing, after the commencement of the amendments.

6  Object

The object of this Part is to ensure that, despite the repeals and amendments made by this Act, the full legal and administrative consequences of:

                     (a)  any act done or omitted to be done; or

                     (b)  any state of affairs existing; or

                     (c)  any period ending;

before such a repeal or amendment applies, can continue to arise and be carried out, directly or indirectly through an indefinite number of steps, even if some or all of those steps are taken after the repeal or amendment applies.

7  Making and amending assessments, and doing other things, in relation to past matters

Even though an Act is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003):

                     (a)  making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

                     (b)  exercising any right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

Example 1: On 31 July 1999, Greg Ltd lodged its annual return under former section 160ARE of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The return stated that the company had a credit on its franking account and that no franking deficit tax was payable for the 1998-99 franking year. Under former section 160ARH of that Act, the Commissioner was taken to have made an assessment consistent with the return.

                   Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of Part IIIAA of that Act, the Commissioner concludes that Greg Ltd fraudulently overfranked dividends it paid during the 1998-99 franking year, and had a franking account deficit for that franking year. As a result, the Commissioner considers that franking deficit tax and a penalty by way of additional tax are payable.

                   The Commissioner can amend the assessment under former section 160ARN of that Act, because item 7 of this Schedule disregards the repeal of that section for the purposes of making an assessment in relation to the 1998-99 franking year. Item 7 will also disregard the repeal of Division 11 of former Part IIIAA to the extent necessary for the Commissioner to assess Greg Ltd's liability to a penalty by way of additional tax.

                   Despite the repeal of sections 160ARU and 160ARV, item 9 will ensure that the general interest charge will accrue on the unpaid franking deficit tax and penalty until they are paid.

                   Item 7 will also preserve Greg Ltd's right, under former section 160ART of that Act, to object against the Commissioner's amended assessment (including the penalty), since the objection is the exercise of a right in relation to a franking year that ended before the repeal of Part IIIAA.

Example 2: During the 1997-98 income year, Duffy Property Ltd withheld amounts from its employees' wages as required by former Divisions 1AAA and 2 of Part VI of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The company failed to notify the Commissioner of those amounts, and failed to remit them to the Commissioner.

                   Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of those Divisions, the Commissioner discovers that the withheld amounts have not been remitted. The company's records are incomplete and the Commissioner is unable to completely ascertain the extent of its liability for the withheld amounts. Under section 222AGA of that Act, the Commissioner makes an estimate of the liability.

                   Item 7 will disregard the repeal of section 220AAZA of that Act (which empowered the Commissioner to recover the amount of the estimate). Even though the estimate is made after the repeal, it relates to amounts withheld before the repeal.

8  Saving of provisions about effect of assessments

then, despite the repeal or amendment, the provision or part continues to apply in the particular case until the end of the period.

If the operation of a provision (the subject provision) of any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003) made under any Act depends to any extent on an Act, or a provision of an Act, that is repealed by this Act, the repeal is disregarded so far as it affects the operation of the subject provision.
