Australia: Legislation on interest limitation rules receives Royal Assent

New interest limitation (thin capitalization) rules

April 9, 2024

Legislation containing new interest limitation (thin capitalization) rules received Royal Assent on 8 April 2024.

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share—Integrity and Transparency) Act 2023 passed both houses of Parliament on 27 March 2024 (read TaxNewsFlash), after a series of amendments were made in the Senate (relating to the forestry industry and a post-implementation review).

The Act:

  • Requires Australian public companies to disclose information about their subsidiaries in their annual financial reports by way of a “consolidated entity disclosure statement”
  • Amends the thin capitalization rules to limit the amount of debt deductions that multinational entities can claim in an income year
