Special provisions relating to partnerships

  (1)   Where:

  (a)   the individual interest of a taxpayer in the net income of a partnership has been or is to be included in the assessable income of the taxpayer of a year of income (in this subsection referred to as the relevant year of income ), or the individual interest of a taxpayer in a partnership loss has been allowed or is allowable as a deduction from the assessable income of the taxpayer of a year of income (in this subsection also referred to as the relevant year of income );

  (b)   either a deduction or an arrangement payment, or both, were taken into account in calculating that net income or partnership loss;

  (c)   the deduction or a part of the deduction (which deduction or part of the deduction, as the case may be, is referred to in this subsection as the relevant deduction ), or the arrangement payment or a part of the arrangement payment (which arrangement payment or part of the arrangement payment, as the case may be, is referred to in this subsection as the relevant arrangement payment ) would not have been taken into account for the purpose of that calculation if this Division   applied in relation to the partnership in relation to particular property that is arrangement property in relation to a qualifying arrangement;

  (d)   this Division   does not apply in relation to the partnership in relation to the property by reason only that the qualifying arrangement was entered into before the time (in this subsection referred to as the earliest application time ) referred to in whichever subparagraph of paragraph   159GH(1)(b) would be applicable if this Division   applied as mentioned in paragraph   (c); and

  (e)   the taxpayer became a partner in the partnership under a contract entered into by the taxpayer after the earliest application time;

the following provisions have effect:

  (f)   there shall be included in the assessable income of the taxpayer of the relevant year of income an amount that bears to the amount of the relevant deduction the same proportion as the individual interest of the taxpayer in that net income bears to that net income or, as the case requires, as the individual interest of the taxpayer in that partnership loss bears to that partnership loss;

  (g)   there shall be allowable as a deduction in the assessment of the taxpayer of the relevant year of income an amount that bears to the amount of the relevant arrangement payment the same proportion as the individual interest of the taxpayer in that net income bears to that net income or, as the case requires, as the individual interest of the taxpayer in that partnership loss bears to that partnership loss.

  (2)   Where:

  (d)   this Division   does not apply in relation to the partnership in relation to the property by reason only that the qualifying arrangement was entered into before the time (in this subsection referred to as the earliest application time ) referred to in whichever subparagraph of paragraph   159GH(1)(b) would be applicable if this Division   applied as mentioned in paragraph   (c);

  (g)   by reason of making or agreeing to make the additional contribution, the individual interest of the taxpayer in that net income or partnership loss, being that individual interest expressed as a fraction of the aggregate of the individual interests of the partners in that net income or partnership loss, is greater than it would otherwise have been;

the following provisions have effect:

    A   is the amount of the relevant deduction or of the relevant arrangement payment, as the case requires;

    B   is the individual interest of the taxpayer in that net income or partnership loss, being that individual interest expressed as a fraction of the aggregate of the individual interests of the partners in that net income or partnership loss; and

    C   is the fraction that would be B if that fraction were ascertained on the basis of the individual interests of the partners immediately before the earliest application time and the net income or partnership loss at that time were equal to the net income or partnership loss of the relevant year of income.
