This paper covers the continuity of ownership (COT) under Division 165, including:
- the differences in testing for tax losses, net capital losses and bad debt deductions
- the concepts of voting power, dividend rights and capital rights, and how they raise difficulties for companies with multiple classes of shares
- how the same share rule can make it more difficult to utilise a loss (together with the saving exception to the rule)
- when it is "reasonable" in tracing ownership to conclude that the COT has been satisfied.
