Abstract

[Extract] Draft Taxation Ruling TR 2000/D3 (which deals with interest deductibility) is a cynical response by the Tax Office to its losses in the High Court in Steele v FC of T 99 ATC 4242 and the Full Federal Court in FC of T v Brown 99 ATC 4600. The Tax Office has demonstrated considerable linguistic dexterity in interpreting those judgments in such a way as to identify limitations on what were, essentially, complete victories for the taxpayers.

The issue in Steele was the availability of an interest deduction prior to the generation of income. Brown dealt with the continuing availability of a deduction for interest upon the cessation of income-producing activities. Each case and the Tax Office's response is considered below.
