Explanatory note

Canterbury earthquakes

This Supplementary Order Paper inserts provisions amending the Income Tax Act 2007 so as to make remedial changes relating to technical issues arising from the Canterbury earthquakes. The issues are:

the timing of income from insurance receipts relating to deductions for expenditure or loss
the timing of income from insurance receipts relating to a loss of business income
the treatment of an item of depreciable property purchased with proceeds of insurance for interruption of business
the treatment of insurance receipts for land damaged by a Canterbury earthquake and intended to be replaced by a purchase of land in greater Christchurch
the treatment of a purchase of land or buildings by the Government under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011
the treatment of depreciable property to which access is affected by a restriction imposed as a result of a Canterbury earthquake
the deductibility of expenditure and loss incurred in relation to an income-earning activity that is interrupted as a result of a Canterbury earthquake.
optional timing rules for income from insurance receipts relating to depreciable property damaged by a Canterbury earthquake and for deductions for expenditure in repairing the damage
optional timing rules for income from insurance receipts, and disposal proceeds, relating to depreciable property damaged irreparably by a Canterbury earthquake and for deductions for expenditure in disposing of the property and depreciation loss
the treatment of depreciable property, damaged by a Canterbury earthquake, that is reparable but uneconomic to repair
the treatment of depreciable property damaged by a Canterbury earthquake, and insurance receipts for the damage, in the valuation of the assets of a person's New Zealand group and worldwide group.

New clause 11B replaces section CG 4. The current section provides that if an amount of insurance or compensation relates to expenditure or loss allowed as a deduction of the recipient, the amount is income and is allocated to the income year in which the amount is derived. The new section provides that the income is allocated to the later of the income year in which the amount is derived and the income year in which the expenditure or loss is incurred. The amendment applies for the 2011–12 and later income years. An exception is provided for the 2010–11 income year for a person who has an extension of time for filing a return for that year, under the Canterbury Earthquake (Inland Revenue Acts) Order 2011.

New clause 11C amends section CG 5B by replacing subsection (3). Currently, the income from an insurance payment for loss of business income in an income year is allocated to the earlier of the income year in which the payment is made and the income year in which the payment can be reasonably estimated. As a consequence, an insurance payment that is made, or can be reasonably estimated, soon after an insured event may be allocated to an income year preceding the year of the income that is being replaced. The new subsection prevents an early allocation in such a situation by allocating the replacement income to the year of the replaced income. The amendment applies for the 2011–12 and later income years. An exception is provided for the 2010–11 income year for a person who has an extension of time for filing a return for that year, under the Canterbury Earthquake (Inland Revenue Acts) Order 2011.

Clause 16C inserts section CZ 25, under which a person who owns an affected building on revenue account that is demolished or abandoned for demolition and who intends to replace the building in greater Canterbury is not taxed immediately on any insurance or compensation in excess of the person's deductions for the building. If the person acquires replacement property in or before the 2015–16 income year, the expenditure on that acquisition is taken into account in determining the excess amount that is taxed. This Supplementary Order Paper proposes to replace subsection (1)(a), extending the treatment described above to: (a) insurance or compensation for land, as well as buildings, owned by a person on revenue account and affected by Canterbury earthquakes; and (b) amounts paid by the Government under section 53(1) of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 in purchasing affected land or buildings owned by a person on revenue account.

New clause 16D, inserts new section CZ 26. The new section overrides the effect of sections CB 9 to CB 12, relating to the resale of land and buildings within 10 years of acquisition, on the owner of land or buildings purchased by the Government under section 53(1) of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011. The effect of the change is that the land or buildings are not deemed by those sections to be owned on revenue account.

New clause 19D inserts new section DZ 20. Currently, expenditure or loss incurred in the absence of an income-earning activity is not deductible. The new section provides for expenditure or loss incurred by a person during the period for which an income-earning activity in the greater Canterbury area is interrupted because of a Canterbury earthquake. The expenditure or loss is to be deductible in the income year in which the person resumes the income-earning activity, provided that the resumption is before the 2016–17 income year. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 21CB amends section EE 22 to provide for the treatment of insurance, indemnity, or compensation for damage to an item of depreciable property being depreciated as part of a pool. The clause inserts new subsection (2B), which provides that if the damaged item is retained, the adjusted tax value of the pool is reduced by any excess of the amount received over the expenditure incurred. The clause also amends subsection (3) to provide that if the damaged item is disposed of, the adjusted tax value of the pool is reduced by any excess, of the total of the amount and other consideration received, over the expenditure or loss incurred. The amendment applies for the 2011–12 and later income years. An exception is provided for the 2010–11 income year for a person who has an extension of time for filing a return for that year, under the Canterbury Earthquake (Inland Revenue Acts) Order 2011.

New clause 21CC amends section EE 45(8) so that proceeds such as the scrap value, from the disposal of an item of depreciable property that is irreparably damaged or is a building rendered useless, are included in the amount derived by the owner of the item. The amendment applies for the 2011–12 and later income years. An exception is provided for the 2010–11 income year for a person who has an extension of time for filing a return for that year, under the Canterbury Earthquake (Inland Revenue Acts) Order 2011.

New clause 27B amends section EZ 23B, which currently applies to depreciable property that is irreparably damaged, or a building rendered useless, by the Canterbury earthquakes. Under the amendment, the section also applies to depreciable property that is assessed to be uneconomic to repair. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 27C inserts new section EZ 23C, which provides for the owner of an item of depreciable property damaged by the Canterbury earthquakes who receives an amount of insurance for the damage when the item is not irreparably damaged, or a building rendered useless, but is assessed as uneconomic to repair. The owner is treated as disposing of the item for consideration equal to the insurance proceeds and then repurchasing the item for zero consideration. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 27D inserts new section EZ 23D, which limits the amount of depreciation recovery income derived by the owner of an item of depreciable property damaged by the Canterbury earthquakes who receives an amount of insurance for the damage when the item is not irreparably damaged, or a building rendered useless but is not covered by new section EZ 23C. The income is limited to the amount of depreciation loss on the item that has been a deduction for the owner.

New clause 27E inserts new section EZ 23E. For an item of property to be depreciated, the item must be used in a business or available for use. The new section provides that an item of property which a person cannot use in the 2015–16 or earlier income year, because of restrictions on access imposed as a result of a Canterbury earthquake, is to be treated as being available for use in the income year. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 27F inserts new section EZ 23F, which provides an optional timing rule applicable to an item of depreciable property that is damaged by a Canterbury earthquake and is irreparable, or a building rendered useless, or assessed as uneconomic to repair. Under the rule, insurance proceeds for the item, proceeds from disposing of the item, and costs of the disposal, may be allocated to the earlier of the 2015–16 income year and the first income year in which all the amounts are or have been incurred, derived, or able to be reasonably estimated. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 27G inserts new section EZ 23G, which provides an optional timing rule applicable to an item of depreciable property that has been damaged by a Canterbury earthquake but is usable after repair. Under the rule, insurance proceeds for the item and costs of repairing the item may be allocated to the earlier of the 2015–16 income year and the first income year in which the amounts are or have been incurred, derived, or able to be reasonably estimated. The amendment applies for the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 income years.

New clause 32BA inserts a new heading and new section FZ 7, which provides for an optional treatment of depreciable property damaged by a Canterbury earthquake, and insurance proceeds for the damage, for the purposes of valuing the assets of a person's New Zealand group and worldwide group. The amendment applies for income years ending after 4 September 2010 and before the 2016–17 income year.

New clause 88(2BA), (2BAB), and (18D) amend section YA 1, the definition of capital contribution, as it relates to depreciable property. Currently, a business interruption insurance payment used to purchase replacement property is not included in the purchaser's capital contribution for the replacement property. The amendments provide that an insurance payment for interruption or impairment of business that is used to purchase replacement property in the 2011–12 or later income year is included in the capital contribution for the replacement property. An exception is provided for a person who uses a different treatment in a tax return filed before the Bill is first considered by a committee of the whole House.

FIF and CFC rules

This Supplementary Order Paper changes the rules in the Income Tax Act 2007 governing the attribution to a resident of income and deductions from a foreign company, referred to as a foreign investment fund (a FIF), in which the resident has an interest. If residents control the foreign company, it is referred to as a controlled foreign company (a CFC). The changes improve the matching of the attributed income of a CFC with the attributed deductions that are allowed for related expenditure or loss. The effect is that taxpayers are more likely to pay tax on the profit from their business operations, rather than on the gross income.

The changes apply to income years beginning on or after 1 July 2009. They:

tax the gains of a CFC from its liabilities, such as the exchange rate gains on a foreign-currency loan, only to the extent that the loss or expenditure relating to the liability would be deductible; these changes are in replacement of current section EZ 32C, which was a temporary solution to the same problem
allow a resident to elect not to apply the active business test for a CFC; an electing resident incurs tax on all passive income in order to claim the related deductions

Provisions are also inserted to make technical corrections and improvements to the FIF and CFC rules. They include:

including in the income potentially attributed to a resident from a CFC all income from a business of insurance or being an insurer
limiting the exemption, from being attributed to a resident, for a CFC's income from some listed Australian companies
limiting the application of a test to determine whether a FIF's income from a foreign company is attributed to a resident

New clause 18B amends section DN 4, to limit the use of losses arising when taxpayers have elected not to apply the active business test for a CFC.

New clause 18C amends section DN 8, to limit the use of losses arising when taxpayers have elected not to apply the active business test for a FIF.

New clause 19C repeals section DZ 19, because the policy measure it implements is being superseded by the changes to section EX 20C.

New clause 22B amends section EX 18A, allowing taxpayers to elect not to apply the active business test for a CFC.

New clause 22C amends section EX 20B so that all, rather than part, of the income of a CFC from a business of insurance, or from being an insurer, is included in the income potentially attributed to a resident with an interest in the CFC. The change is retrospective to income years beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

New clause 22D amends section EX 20C, to tax gains on liabilities in a similar way to losses or expenditure relating to those liabilities.

New clause 22E amends section EX 20D to make changes consequential on amendments to section EX 20C.

New clause 22F amends section EX 21B to provide for the effect of an election under new section EX 73.

An amendment in new clause 23B to section EX 35 relates to income of a CFC from a listed Australian company of a type to which the attributing rules do not apply if the resident's interest in the Australian company is more than 10%. Currently, if a CFC holds an interest of more than 10% in such a company, none of the CFC's income from the Australian company is attributed to a New Zealander with an interest in the CFC. That exemption should not apply except when the New Zealander's indirect interest in the Australian company, typically found by multiplying the New Zealander's direct interest in the CFC by the CFC's direct interest in the Australian company, is 10%. The change is retrospective to income years beginning on or after 1 July 2011.

An amendment in new clause 24B relates to the application of a test to determine whether a FIF's income from a foreign company is attributed to a resident with an interest in the FIF. The amendment to section EX 50 provides that the resident cannot apply the test for a period to the FIF and a foreign company if the resident applies the test separately to the FIF and a different foreign company. The change is retrospective to income years beginning on or after 1 July 2011.

New clause 25BA inserts a new heading and new section EX 73, which regulates the making of elections not to apply the active business test for a CFC. It prescribes the process for making or revoking an election.

New clause 28B repeals section EZ 32C, because the policy measure it implements is being superseded by the changes to section EX 20C.

New clause 28C inserts new section EZ 32D, which is a transitional provision for the introduction of the changes to section EX 20C.

New clause 28D inserts new section EZ 32E, which provides that a person who is liable to pay terminal tax for a past income year because of the retrospective nature of the change in clause 22C is not liable to pay interest on the liability for the period ending on the later of 30 June 2012 and a new due date fixed by the Commissioner.

New clause 56B replaces section IQ 2(1) with new section IQ 2(1) and (1BA). The new subsections provide for the treatment of attributed CFC net loss and FIF net loss from CFCs and FIFs affected by an election under section EX 73.

New clause 88(4B) inserts in section YA 1 new definitions relating to elections under section EX 73.

New clauses 170C to 170E repeal provisions of the Taxation (Tax Administration and Remedial Matters) Act 2011 which would otherwise repeal, in 2013, provisions of the Income Tax Act 2007. The removed provisions are superseded by provisions in the Supplementary Order Paper.

GST on premiums and receipts under insurance contract

This Supplementary Order Paper also inserts provisions amending the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 (the GST Act), remedying an asymmetry in the goods and services tax (GST) treatment of premiums for and receipts under a contract of insurance. The asymmetry has arisen as a result of the application of the reverse charge rules in the GST Act when an insurer is a non-resident. The amendment is backdated to the commencement of the reverse charge rules.

New clause 137(1A) amends section 5(13) to prevent a payment received from a non-resident insurer from being a payment for a taxable supply under the GST Act.

New clause 141(1A) amends section 20(3)(d) to prevent a payment of a premium to a non-resident insurer from being included in the calculation of a deduction under the GST Act.

Clause 146 is replaced, returning the amendment of section 21E(1) to the form in the clause as introduced.

Miscellaneous amendments

In clause 98, new subclause (1)(cb) inserts the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Trust into the list of organisations in schedule 32 of the Income Tax Act 2007. New subclause (1B) repeals the entry on 1 April 2014.

Amendments to clauses 20(1), 32(2), 38(1), 83(3) and (5), and 165(1) make minor technical improvements, including by clarifying drafting, extending the application of a saving provision, and removing unnecessary changes.

New clauses 24C, 24D, 31B, 33BA, 39(1D), 40B, 57B, 58C, 70B, 81B, 88(7BA), 95C, 103(1)(aa), 118A, 137(1), 153B, and 162 make minor technical amendments, including making amendments consequential on earlier amending Acts, correcting punctuation and cross-references, removing superfluous words, correcting word order, and correcting fonts.
