Question
On consolidation, a group can only offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities when the group: a. has adopted tax consolidation. b. has no partly owned subsidiaries. c. operated wholly within Australia. d. all of the above.
Solution
The correct answer is a. "has adopted tax consolidation."
This is because tax consolidation allows a group of entities to be treated as a single entity for tax purposes. This means that the group can offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. The other options (b and c) are not necessarily conditions for offsetting current tax assets against current tax liabilities. Option d is incorrect because it includes b and c.
