160AUE Series of dividends crossing over 1 July 2001
(1) This section deals with the situation in which:
(a) a company pays a number of class C franked dividends under a resolution made before 1 July 2001; and
(b) some of the dividends (the first series dividends) are paid before 1 July 2001; and
(c) some of the dividends (the second series dividends) are paid on or after 1 July 2001.
(2) For the purposes of this Part:
(a) the first series dividends and the second series dividends are to be taken to have been made under separate resolutions; and
(b) any declaration (the original declaration) made under section 160AQF or 160ASEL in relation to the dividends is taken to have effect only in relation to the first series dividends; and
(c) the consequences provided for in the following table occur if the company does not make a declaration under section 160AQF or 160ASEL in relation to the second series dividends before the reckoning day for the second series dividends:
Default declaration for second series dividends
If... the company is taken to have declared that... under...
1 the first series dividends were class C franked each dividend in the second series is a class C franked dividend to the extent of the same percentage as in the original declaration subsection 160AQF(1AAA)
2 the first series dividends were also franked with a venture capital franked amount each dividend in the second series is a venture capital dividend to the extent of the same percentage as in the original declaration section 160ASEL
Note 1: Paragraph (a) means that the 2 series of dividends will have separate reckoning days (see the definition of reckoning day in section 160APA). The reckoning day for the second series dividends will be the day on which the first of the second series dividends is paid. This in turn affects the calculation of the required franking amount for the second series dividends.
Note 2: Paragraph (b) means that the company may make a fresh declaration under section 160AQF in relation to the second series dividends. The company may wish to do this to ensure that the second series dividends are franked to the new required franking amount that will need to be calculated under Division 4. It will also mean that the company may make a fresh declaration under section 160ASEL.
160AUF Dividends paid under resolution made before 1 July 2001 but with a reckoning day after 1 July 2001
(1) This section deals with the situation in which:
(a) on or after 1 July 2001, a company pays a class C franked dividend or a number of class C franked dividends under a resolution made before 1 July 2001; and
(b) section 160AUE does not apply to the dividend or dividends.
(2) For the purposes of this Part:
(a) despite subsection 160AQF(2), the company may:
(i) vary any declaration it made under section 160AQF or 160ASEL in relation to the dividend or dividends; or
(ii) revoke any declaration it made under section 160AQF or 160ASEL in relation to the dividend or dividends and make a fresh declaration under that section in relation to the dividend or dividends;
before the reckoning day for the dividend or dividends; and
(b) a declaration varied, or a fresh declaration made, under this section cannot itself be varied or revoked.
160AUG Modifying the operation of subsection 160AQE(3)
When this section applies
(1) This section deals with the situation in which:

(b) the earlier franked dividend referred to in that subsection was paid before 1 July 2001.
Effect on required franking amount
