INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 104.130

Lessor receives payment for changing lease: CGT event F5

  (1)   CGT event F5 happens if a lessor receives a payment from the lessee for agreeing to vary or waive a term of the lease.

    The payment can include giving property: see section   103 - 5.

  (2)   The time of the event is when the term is varied or waived.

  (3)   The lessor makes a capital gain if the * capital proceeds from the event are more than the expenditure the lessor incurs in relation to the variation or waiver. The lessor makes a capital loss if those capital proceeds are less .

Example:   You own a shopping centre. The lessee of a shop in the centre pays you $10,000 for agreeing to change the terms of its lease. You incur expenses of $1,000 for a solicitor and $500 for a valuer. You make a capital gain of $8,500.

  (4)   The expenditure can include giving property: see section   103 - 5. However, it does not include an amount you have received as * recoupment of it and that is not included in your assessable income.

Exceptions

  (5)   A * capital gain or * capital loss the lessor makes is disregarded if:

  (a)   the lease was granted before 20   September 1985; or

  (b)   for a lease that has been renewed or extended--the start of the last renewal or extension occurred before that day.
