Tax Laws Amendment
(Repeal of Inoperative Provisions) Act 2006
(No. 101, 2006)
Schedule 6
1 Application of Schedule 1 and 2 amendments
Except as mentioned in items 2 and 3, the repeals and amendments made by Schedules 1 and 2 apply:
(a) so far as they affect assessments--to assessments for the 2006‑07 income year and all later income years; and
(b) otherwise--to acts done or omitted to be done, or states of affairs existing, after the commencement of the repeals and 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Even though an Act is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within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(a) making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);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right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);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
If a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act deals with the effect of an assessment, the repeal or amendment is disregarded in relation to assessments made, before or after the repeal or amendment applies, 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.
9 Saving of provisions about general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty
If:
(a) a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act provides for the payment of:
(i) general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty (all within the meaning of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936); or
(ii) interest under the Taxation (Interest on Overpayments and Early Payments) Act 1983; and
(b) in a particular case, the period in respect of which the charge, penalty or interest is payable (whether under the provision or under the Taxation Administration Act 1953) has not begun, or has begun but not ended, when the provision is repealed or amended;
then, despite the repeal or amendment, the provision or part continues to apply in the particular case until the end of the period.
10 Repeals disregarded for the purposes of dependent provisions
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.
11 Schedule does not limit operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901
This Schedule does not limit the operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
Higher Education Legislation Amendment (2006 Budget and Other Measures) Act 2006 (No. 121, 2006)
Schedule 1
4 Transitional provision--indexation

For the purposes of working out if and how a higher education provider's basic grant amount for the grant year 2007 or an earlier grant year is to be adjusted under Subdivision 33‑C of the Higher Education Support Act 2003, disregard the amendment made by item 3 of this Schedule.
Schedule 2
3 Application of amendment of FEE‑HELP limit

4 Transitional provision
The amounts in section 104‑20 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003, as amended by this Schedule, are not to be indexed on 1 January 2007.
Schedule 3
12 Saving provision relating to substitution of subsection 19‑90(3) (determination of different tuition fees for different courses)
If, immediately before subsection 19‑90(3) of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 was repealed and substituted by this Schedule, a determination made in accordance with that subsection had effect, the determination is taken to continue in effect as if it had been made in accordance with subsection 19‑90(3) of that Act as in force after the commencement of this Schedule.
13 Saving provision for determinations of student contribution amounts for student cohorts
(1) This item applies to a determination (the saved determination) made by a higher education provider under section 19‑88 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 before that section was repealed by this Schedule.
(2) Section 19‑97 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 continues to apply in relation to the saved determination despite the repeal of that section by this Schedule.

(a) the person is in the student cohort to which the saved determination relates; and
(b) the saved determination has not been revoked under subitem (4); and
(c) the unit forms part of a course of study with the provider who made the saved determination; and
(d) the person is undertaking the unit with the provider; and
(e) the person satisfies any conditions that apply to the cohort under the saved determination;
so that the person's student contribution amount for a place in the unit is the student contribution amount for the unit specified in the saved determination.
(4) The provider may revoke the saved determination if the provider:
(a) does so:
(i) before the date set out in the Higher Education Provider Guidelines; and
(ii) in the circumstances (if any) specified in the Higher Education Provider Guidelines; or
(b) does so with the written approval of the Minister.
(5) From the time the provider revokes the saved determination, a determination in effect under section 19‑87 starts to apply, according to its terms, to the students who were in the cohort.
(6) Before revoking the saved determination, the provider must notify the students who are in the cohort of the provider's intention to revoke the determination.
(7) The Higher Education Provider Guidelines made under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 may provide for matters:
(a) required or permitted by this item to be provided; or
(b) necessary or convenient to be provided in order to carry out or give effect to this item.
(8) Expressions used in this item that are defined in the Higher Education Support Act 2003 have the same meaning in this item as they have in that Act.
14 Saving provision for determinations of tuition fees for student cohorts
(1) This item applies to a determination (the saved determination) made by a higher education provider under section 19‑91 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 before that section was repealed by this Schedule.
(2) Section 19‑97 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 continues to apply in relation to the saved determination despite the repeal of that section by this Schedule.
(3) The definition, in section 19‑105 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003, of a person's tuition fee for a unit is modified, if:
(a) the person is in the student cohort to which the saved determination relates; and
(b) the saved determination has not been revoked under subitem (4); and
(c) the unit forms part of a course of study with the provider who made the saved determination; and
(d) the person is undertaking the unit with the provider; and
(e) the person satisfies any conditions that apply to the cohort under the saved determination;
so that the person's tuition fee for the unit is the fee for the unit specified in the saved determination.
(4) The provider may revoke the saved determination if the provider:
(a) does so:
(i) before the date set out in the Higher Education Provider Guidelines; and
(ii) in the circumstances (if any) specified in the Higher Education Provider Guidelines; or
(b) does so with the written approval of the Minister.
(5) From the time the provider revokes the saved determination, a determination in effect under section 19‑90 starts to apply, according to its terms, to the students who were in the cohort.
(6) Before revoking the saved determination, the provider must notify the students who are in the cohort of the provider's intention to revoke the determination.
