Defence Legislation Amendment (Enhancement of the Reserves and Modernisation) Act 2001 (No. 10, 2001)

Schedule 2 

94  Saving--old regulations

(1)        Regulations that were in effect under any Act immediately before the commencement of this item continue to have effect after that time as if members of an arm of the Defence Force who were members of a particular part or component of that arm immediately before the commencement of this item were still members of that part or component after that time, even if that part or component no longer exists.

Example: Assume that, immediately before the commencement of this item, regulations imposed training obligations on members of the Air Force Specialist Reserve. Those obligations would continue to apply to former members of that Reserve after commencement, even though the Air Force Specialist Reserve itself is no longer mentioned in the Air Force Act 1923 and the members have now become members of the Air Force Reserve.

(2)        However, regulations that continue in effect under this item do so only to the extent that they are not amended or revoked by later regulations.

95  Regulations about transitional matters

(1)        The regulations may make provision in relation to other saving and transitional matters in connection with the amendments made by this Schedule.

(2)        In particular, such regulations may deal with the status, after the commencement of the amendments, of persons who were members of the Defence Force immediately before that time.

(3)        Subitem (2) does not limit the scope of subitem (1).

 

Treasury Legislation Amendment (Application of Criminal Code) Act (No. 2) 2001 (No. 146, 2001)

4  Application of amendments

             (1)  Each amendment made by this Act applies to acts and omissions that take place after the amendment commences.

             (2)  For the purposes of this section, if an act or omission is alleged to have taken place between 2 dates, one before and one on or after the day on which a particular amendment commences, the act or omission is alleged to have taken place before the amendment commences.

 

Taxation Laws Amendment (Superannuation) Act (No. 2) 2002 (No. 51, 2002)

4  Amendment of assessments

                   Section 37 of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 and section 170 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 do not prevent the amendment of an assessment for the purposes of giving effect to this Act.

Schedule 1

193  Application of amendments made by Part 1--general

Subject to this Part, the amendments made by Part 1 apply in relation to:

                     (a)  the determination of superannuation guarantee shortfalls under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 for quarters that commence on or after 1 July 2003; and

                     (b)  matters relating to such shortfalls.

Note 1:    A matter relating to a shortfall includes, for example, the requirement to keep records under section 79 in respect of the period to which the shortfall relates.

Note 2:    The Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 continues to apply in relation to the determination of superannuation guarantee shortfalls for years that ended before 1 July 2003, and matters relating to those shortfalls, as if the amendments made by Part 1 of this Schedule had not been made.

194  Special rule for the first 2 quarters of the 2003‑04 year--nominal interest component and administration component do not apply if charge paid by 28 April 2004

(1)        This item applies to an employer who, under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 as amended by Part 1 of this Schedule, has one or more individual superannuation guarantee shortfalls for the quarter starting on 1 July 2003 or 1 October 2003.

(2)        Subject to subitem (3), the employer's nominal interest component for the quarter and the employer's administration component for the quarter are not included in the employer's superannuation guarantee shortfall for the quarter.

(3)        However, if the employer has not paid the superannuation guarantee charge on the shortfall (determined taking account of the effect of subitem (2)) in full by 28 April 2004, the employer's nominal interest component for the quarter, and the employer's administration component for the quarter, are taken to be, and always to have been, included in the employer's superannuation guarantee shortfall for the quarter.

Note:       This provision does not change the day by which the superannuation guarantee charge is payable for those 2 quarters or the day on which general interest charge will begin to run.

195  Special provisions relating to conversion notices

(1)        Subject to subitem (2), the amendments made by items 17 to 21 apply in relation to conversion notices given on or after 1 July 2003 under section 6B of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.

(2)        Despite the amendment made by item 20, a conversion notice given on or after 1 July 2003 and before 15 August 2003 may be expressed to take effect on a day that is not earlier than 1 July 2002.

(3)        During the period starting on 1 July 1998 and ending on the commencement of this item, section 6B of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 is taken to have had effect as if the references to the Commissioner of Insurance and Superannuation were instead references to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

Note:       1 July 1998 is the day on which the Insurance and Superannuation Commissioner Act 1987 was repealed and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998 commenced.

(4)        If this item commences before 1 July 2003, then during the period starting on the commencement of this item and ending on 1 July 2003, section 6B of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 is taken to have effect as if the references to the Commissioner of Insurance and Superannuation were instead references to the Commissioner of Taxation.

196  Special provisions relating to benefit certificates

(1)        Subject to subitem (2), the amendment made by item 25 applies in relation to benefit certificates given on or after 1 July 2003 under section 10 of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.

(2)        Despite the amendment made by that item, a benefit certificate given on or after 1 July 2003 and before 15 August 2003, or a later day allowed by the Commissioner, may be expressed to have effect from a day that is not earlier than 1 July 2002 and not later than the day on which the certificate is issued.

197  Reporting of superannuation contributions

The amendment made by item 116 applies in relation to contributions made on or after 1 July 2003.

198  Default assessments

The amendment made by item 149 applies in relation to assessments made on or after 1 July 2003 (irrespective of when the relevant superannuation guarantee shortfall arose).

199  Shortfall components--payments direct to superannuation accounts etc. and people over 65

The amendments made by items 162, 165 and 166 apply in relation to payments (or other dealings) by the Commissioner of an amount of a shortfall component made on or after 1 July 2003 (irrespective of when the relevant superannuation guarantee shortfall arose).

200  Relief from annual national payroll requirements for pre‑1 July 2003 shortfalls if employer's base year is 1996‑97 or later

If:

                     (a)  an employer has a superannuation guarantee shortfall for a period that ended before 1 July 2003; and

                     (b)  the employer's base year, within the meaning of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 as it continues to apply in relation to shortfalls for years that ended before 1 July 2003 (see item 193), is the year beginning on 1 July 1996 or a later year;

the employer does not, from 1 July 2003, have to comply with the requirements of paragraph 33(2)(f), subparagraph 59(2)(a)(i) and paragraph 79(2)(a) of that Act (as so continuing to apply) in relation to that shortfall and that period.

Note:       This provision relieves the employer from having to comply with requirements related to the employer's annual national payroll. However, an employer whose base year is an earlier year must continue to comply with those requirements in relation to shortfalls for pre‑1 July 2003 periods.

201  Preservation of regulations made for the purposes of subsection 65(1)

Regulations in force for the purposes of subsection 65(1) of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 immediately before 1 July 2003 have effect on and after that day as if they were made for the purposes of that subsection as amended by item 162 of this Schedule.

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.
