At first balance date—30 June 1989.

The Closing Tax Book Value (CTBV) is given by:

e + f + g – h – i.

  • e is 0 since the investor was not a party to this financial arrangement at the beginning of this income year.
  • f is USD 8.3 million, the price paid for the bond on 1 September 1988, being the sum of all consideration given by the investor during the income year.
  • g is USD 1,034,154 the base currency income accruing to the person in this income year calculated in accordance with the provisions of sections 64B to 64M of the Act.
  • h is USD 500,000 (the interest payment of 1 March 1989) the sum of all consideration given to the person in the income year.
  • i is 0 as there is no expenditure incurred by the investor.

The CTBV is:

0 + 8,300,000 + 1,034,154 – 500,000 – 0 = USD 8,834,154.

The income or expenditure in respect of the bond for the income year is calculated according to a + b – c – d.

Where:

  • a is the NZD value of the CTBV = 8,834,154 / 0.6580 = NZD 13,425,766.
  • b is the NZD value of all consideration given to the person during the income year = 500,000 / 0.6455 = NZD 774,593.
  • c is the opening tax book value and has a nil value.
  • d is the NZD value of all consideration given by the person during the income year = 8,300,000 / 0.6310 = NZD 13,153,724.

The income or expenditure is thus NZD 1,046,635. The investor is a holder of the bond so that this amount is income derived by the investor.

At the second balance date—30 June 1990.

The CTBV is:

e + f + g – h – i.

  • e is 8,834,154 the opening tax book value equal to the CTBV of the previous year.
  • f is 0 since no consideration is given by the investor in this income year.
  • g is USD 1,281,465 the base currency income accruing to the person in this income year calculated in accordance with the provisions of sections 64B to 64M of the Act.
  • h is USD 1,000,000 (the interest payments of 1 September 1989 and 1 March 1990) the sum of all consideration given to the person in the income year.
  • i is 0 as there is no expenditure incurred by the investor.

The CTBV (e + f + g – h – i) is then equal to USD 9,115,619.

The income or expenditure associated with the bond on this date is calculated according to a + b – c – d.

Where:

  • a is 9,115,619 / 0.6500 = NZD 14,024,029
  • b is 500,000 / 0.6500 + 500,000 / 0.6550 = NZD 1,532,590
  • c is USD 8,834,154 / 0.6580 = NZD 13,425,766
  • d is nil.

This equates to NZD 2,130,853. As this is a positive amount it is income derived by the investor.

At the end of the third income year—30 June 1991.

The CTBV (USD) = 9,115,619 + 1,325,110 – 1,000,000 = 9,440,729.

The income derived/expenditure incurred in NZD is therefore:

9,440,729 / 0.6460
plus 500,000 / 0.6570 + 500,000 / 0.6580
equals NZD 2,111,016

as this is a positive amount it is income derived by the investor.

On 30 September 1991 the bond is sold for USD 10 million (i.e. an approximate yield of 16% p.a.). At this date the USD/NZD spot rate was 0.6320.

At this date the investor is subject to the base price adjustment of section 64:

a – (b + c).

Where:

  • a is all consideration that has been paid to the investor:
    500,000 / 0.6455 + 500,000 / 0.6500 + 500,000 / 0.6550
  • 500,000 / 0.6570 + 500,000 / 0.6580 + 500,000 / 0.6400
  • 10,000,000 / 0.6320
    = NZD 20,432,131
  • b is the acquisition price of the bond: 8,300,000 / 0.6310 = NZD 13,153,724

  • c is all amounts of income derived under section 64C:
    1,046,635 + 2,130,853 + 2,111,016 = NZD 5,288,504

So the Base Price Adjustment is:
