An avoidance arrangement is an impermissible avoidance arrange- ment if its sole or main purpose was to obtain a tax benefit and- (a) in the context of business- (i) (ii) it was entered into or carried out by means or in a manner which would not normally be employed for bona fide business purposes, other than obtaining a tax benefit; or it lacks commercial substance, in whole or in part, taking into account the provisions of section 80C; (b) in a context other than business, it was entered into or carried out by means or in a manner which would not normally be employed for a bonafide purpose, other than obtaining a tax benefit; or (c) in any context- (i) (ii) it has created rights or obligations that would not normally be created between persons dealing at arm’s length; or it would result directly or indirectly in the misuse or abuse of the provisions of this Act (including the provisions of this 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Tax consequences of impermissible tax avoidance SOB. (1) The Commissioner may determine the tax consequences under 45 this Act of any impermissible avoidance arrangement for any party by- (a) disregarding, combining, or re-characterising any steps in or parts of the impermissible avoidance arrangement; (b) disregarding any accommodating or tax-indifferent party or treating any accommodating or tax-indifferent party and any other party as one and the same person; 50 74 No. 29603 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7 FEBRUARY 2007 Act No. 20,2006 REVENUE LAWS AMENDMENT ACT, 2006 (c) deeming persons who are connected persons in relation to each other to be one and the same person for purposes of determining the tax treatment of any amount; (d) reallocating any gross income, receipt or accrual of a capital nature, expenditure or rebate amongst the parties; ( e ) re-characterising any gross income, receipt or accrual of a capital nature of expenditure; or (f) treating the impermissible avoidance arrangement as if it had not been entered into or carried out, or in such other manner as in the circumstances of the case the Commissioner deems appropriate for the prevention or diminution of the relevant tax benefit. (2) Subject to the time limits imposed by section 79, 79A(2)(a) and 8 1(2)(b), the Commissioner must make compensating adjustments that he or she is satisfied are necessary and appropriate to ensure the consistent treatment of all parties to the impermissible avoidance arrangement. Lack of commercial substance SOC. (1) For purposes of this Part, an avoidance arrangement lacks commercial substance if it would result in a significant tax benefit for a party (but for the provisions of this Part) but doesaot have a significant effect upon either the business risks or net cash flows of that party apart from any effect attributable to the tax benefit that would be obtained but for the provisions of this Part. ( 2 ) For purposes of this Part, characteristics of an avoidance arrangement that are indicative of a lack of commercial substance include but are not limited t o - (a) the legal substance of the avoidance arrangement as a whole is inconsistent with, or differs significantly from, the legal form of its individual steps; or (b) the inclusion or presence of- 5 10 15 20 25 round trip financing as described in section SOD; or (i) (ii) an accommodating or tax indifferent party as described in 30 section 80E; or (iii) elements that have the effect of offsetting or cancelling each other. Round trip financing SOD. (1) Round trip financing includes any avoidance arrangement in which- (a) funds are transferred between or among the parties (round tripped amounts); and (b) the transfer of the funds would- (i) result, directly or indirectly, in a tax benefit but for the provisions of this Part; and (ii) significantly reduce, offset or eliminate any business risk incurred by any party in connection with the avoidance arrangement. ( 2 ) This section applies to any round tripped amounts without regard to- (a) whether or not the round tripped amounts can be traced to funds transferred to or received by any party in connection with the avoidance arrangement; (b) the timing or sequence in which round tripped amounts are transferred or received; or 35 40 45 50 (c) the means by or manner in which round tripped amounts are transferred or received. (3) For the purposes of this section, the term ‘funds’ includes any cash, cash equivalents or any right or obligation to receive or pay the same. 55 76 No. 29603 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7 FEBRUARY 2007 Act No. 20,2006 REVENUE LAWS AMENDMENT ACT, 2006 Accommodating or tax-indifferent parties 80E. (1) A party to an avoidance arrangement is an accommodating or tax-indifferent party if- ( a ) any amount derived by the party in connection with the avoidance arrangement is either- (i) (ii) not subject to normal tax; or significantly offset either by any expenditure or loss incurred by the party in connection with that avoidance arrangement or any assessed loss of that party; and (b) either- (i) as a direct or indirect result of the participation of that party an amount that would have- (aa) been included in the gross income (including the recoupment of any amount) or receipts or accruals of a capital nature of another party would be included in the gross income or receipts or accruals of a capital nature of that party; (bh) constituted a non-deductible expenditure or loss in the hands of another party would be treated as a deductible expenditure by that other party; (cc) constituted revenue in the hands of another party would be treated as capital by that other party; or (dd) given rise to taxable income to another party would either not be included in gross income or be exempt from normal tax; or the participation of that party directly or indirectly involves a prepayment by any other party. (ii) (2) A person may be an accommodating or tax-indifferent party whether or not that person is a connected person in relation to any party. (3) The provisions of this section do not apply if either- (a) the amounts derived by the party in question are cumulatively subject to income tax by one or more spheres of government of countries other than the Republic that are subject to tax in another country which is equal to at least two-thirds of the amount of normal tax which would have been payable in connection with those amounts had they been subject to tax under this Act; or (b) the party in question continues to engage directly in substantive active trading activities in connection with the avoidance arrangement for a period of at least 18 months: Provided these activities must be attributable to a place of business, place, site, agricultural land, vessel, vehicle, rolling stock or aircraft that would constitute a foreign business establishment as defined in section 9D(1) if it were located outside the Republic and the party in question were a controlled foreign company. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(a), the amount of tax imposed by another country must be determined after taking into account any applicable agreements for the prevention of double taxation and any assessed loss, credit or rebate to which the party in question may be entitled or any other right of recovery to which that party or any connected person in relation to that party may be entitled. Treatment of connected persons and accommodating or tax-indifferent parties 8OF. For the purposes of applying section 80C or determining whether or not a tax benefit exists for purposes of this Part, the Commissioner may- (a) treat parties who are connected persons in relation to each other as one and the same person; or 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 15 50 55 78 No. 29603 GOVERNMENT GAZETE, 7 FEBRUARY 2007 Act No. 20,2006 REVENUE LAWS AMENDMENT ACT, 2006 (b) disregard any accommodating or tax-indifferent party or treat any accommodating or tax-indifferent party and any other party as one and the same person. I Presumption of purpose 806. (1) An avoidance arrangement is presumed to have been entered into or carried out for the sole or main purpose of obtaining a tax benefit unless and until the party obtaining a tax benefit proves that, reasonably considered in light of the relevant facts and circumstances, obtaining a tax benefit was not the sole or main purpose of the avoidance arrangement. (2) The purpose of a step in or part of an avoidance arrangement may be different from a purpose attributable to the avoidance arrangement as a whole. Application to steps in or parts of an arrangement SOH. The Commissioner may apply the provisions of this Part to steps in or parts of an arrangement. Use in the alternative 5 10 15
