EZ 32D: Value of asset fraction: CFC with excessive debt funding and loan entered before 21 June 2012
or “Calculating income for CFCs with pre-2012 excessive debt funding”
You could also call this:

“Interest waived on certain CFC insurer terminal tax debts from 2009 to 2012”

This law applies to you if you owe terminal tax for an income year starting on or after 1 July 2009. It’s about tax returns you sent to the Commissioner before the Taxation (Annual Rates, Returns Filing, and Remedial Matters) Act 2012 became law. This tax debt wouldn’t exist if the new version of section EX 20B(3)(f) hadn’t started on 1 July 2009.

If this applies to you, you don’t have to pay interest on this tax debt for the time between 1 July 2009 and either 30 June 2012 or a later date set by the Commissioner. Usually, you would have to pay interest according to Part 7 of the Tax Administration Act 1994, but this new rule overrides that part of the law.
