OE 15: BETA debit for loss of shareholder continuity
or “Removed tax rule about branch equivalent tax debits when company ownership changes”

You could also call this:

“Old tax rule about branch equivalent tax debits no longer applies”

The law used to have a rule called ‘BETA final balance’ that was part of the ‘Branch equivalent tax debits’ section in the Income Tax Act 2007. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed on 30 June 2009. This means you don’t need to worry about this rule anymore when dealing with your taxes.
