CV 18: Hedging of currency movements in Australian non-attributing shares and attributing FDR method interests
or “Income from hedging currency changes in specific Australian shares”
You could also call this:

“Extra income from certain tax credits on company dividends”

This part of the law talks about when you might get extra income because of something called imputation credits. It applies when you have income that counts for tax credits on imputation credits. This happens when a special rule called section LE 1(4B) applies.

If you have this kind of income and it includes an imputation credit, you get some extra income. The amount of extra income is the same as the tax credit you get for the imputation credit under section LE 8B.

But there’s an exception. You don’t get this extra income if your LE 1(4B) income is related to FIF income or loss that’s worked out using two special methods. These methods are called the comparative value method and the deemed rate of return method.
