(b) the ratio between the market value of the rights allocated to
each transferor for the transfer of an additional asset and

applicable or their involuntary sale shall not be deemed the sale of an
asset;

because of the provisions of this Chapter, shall be liable to acquisition
tax at the rate of 0.5% of its value;
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Chapter, the Director may
prescribe rules, according to which the split or merger of a company, to
which an asset said in this Chapter was transferred, will not be deemed
a violation of the conditions specified in this Chapter.
Calculation upon sale of asset
104E.(a) If an asset was transferred as said in sections 104A and 104B, then its
original cost, the balance of its original cost, the day of its acquisition
and its acquisition price shall be – for purposes of this Ordinance, of the
Inflationary Adjustments Law and of the Land Appreciation Tax Law –
as they would have been for the transferor, and the seller shall also be
allowed to deduct those deductions, which the transferor would have
been allowed to deduct at the sale of the asset, but the original cost of
a transferred asset that is a security or a future traded on an Exchange
shall be determined according to the provisions of section 104F, as if
the security or future were a share, as said in that section; for the
purposes of this section: "future" – as defined in section 88.
(b) The transfer of an asset under sections 104A to 104C shall be deemed
a sale, for calculation of the periods under section 21A of the Industry
Encouragement Law.
(c) A capital gain or a capital loss created in consequence of the sale of an
asset that was transferred as said in sections 104A to 104C, must not –
during the period of two years after the transfer date – be set off against
profit or loss under sections 28 or 92, as the case may be; those two
years shall not be taken into account for purposes of the restriction
prescribed in section 92 in respect of the period of the set off.
Sale of shares
104F. The following provisions shall apply to the sale of shares that were received
for an asset, as said in sections 104A and 104B:
(1) the balance of the original cost of the transferred asset, adjusted from 166
the day of acquisition of the asset by the transferor until the day of
transfer, less any real loss if the asset had been sold on the day of
transfer, but not less than the original cost of the transferred asset
(hereafter: adjusted cost) shall be the original cost of the shares; the
differential between the balance of the original cost of the transferred
asset and the adjusted cost shall hereafter be called the "adjustment
differential"; for this purpose: "real loss" – the amount by which the
market value of the asset is less than its adjusted original cost;
(2) an adjustment differential, which constitutes part of the original cost of
the sold shares, shall be added to the consideration from the sale of the
shares and shall be deemed an additional inflationary amount;
(3) the date of transfer of the asset shall be deemed the date of the shares'
acquisition; however, upon the sale of shares obtained for an asset that
was acquired up to the determining date, the date on which the
transferred asset was acquired shall be deemed the day of acquisition
of the shares for purposes of the calculation of the real capital gain up
to the determining date.
Miscellaneous provisions
104G. (a) The provisions of sections 104A to 104C shall apply only if the
transferor of the asset informed the Assessing Officer of the transfer of
the asset within 30 days of its transfer, and if he attached to his
notification returns, affidavits and particulars, all as the Minister of
Finance prescribed in regulations.
(b) (1) The provisions of section 103J, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (2), and of sections 103L and 103O shall apply to the
transferor of an asset, as if he were a transferor company or a
shareholder in it, as the case may be, and as if the company to
which the asset was transferred were a merged company, all
mutatis mutandis as the case may be.
(2) If it turns out that one of the conditions for the grant of benefits
prescribed in section 104A, 104B or 104C was not complied with
on time (hereafter: violation), then the transfer of the asset that
was not charged tax at the time of the transfer shall be liable to
tax as said in paragraph (1), or liable to tax according to the
transferred asset's market value on the day of the violation,
whichever is greater, unless the Assessing Officer is satisfied that
the violated obligation was violated because of special
circumstances beyond the transferor's control; the value set as
aforesaid in this paragraph shall be the original price of the asset
for the company and the day in respect of which the said value
was set shall be the day of acquisition.
(c) If a company transferred an asset, then – during two years after the
date of the transfer – the provisions of the Inflationary Adjustments Law
and of section 130A, which would have applied to the company that
transferred the asset, shall apply to the asset and to the company to
which it was transferred, all with adjustments to be prescribed by the
Director.
(d) The applicant for certification under this Chapter shall pay an
application fee in an amount to be set by the Minister of Finance, and
