(iv) the period beginning at the time of that first use

and ending at that later time is shorter than the period mentioned in

that shorter period.

(Commissioner may determine etc. periods which taxpayers may elect to adopt as

the effective lives of units of property)

"(2) The Commissioner may, by writing:

uses for which the property has been installed and held in reserve; or

(b) in any other case - the particular use or uses of the property by the

taxpayer.

(Criteria for specifying periods)

"(6) The matters to which the Commissioner may have regard in specifying

paragraph (1)(a), would be applicable under paragraph (1)(b) to property owned

by particular groups of taxpayers who use similar property in a similar

manner.

(b) the determination does not specify a period that the taxpayer may elect

to adopt as the effective life of the property;

the taxpayer may lodge with the Commissioner a written notice requiring the

Commissioner to vary the determination in accordance with paragraph (2)(b) so

assessable income- producing purposes before the determination, variation or

revocation, as the case may be, was made if, and only if:

(a) in the case of a determination or a variation of a determination - the

specified period is the first period applicable to property of that kind; or

"(11) An election under paragraph (1)(a) is irrevocable and must be made:

(a) within 6 months after the later of the following:

"55.(1) The annual depreciation percentage for a unit of property owned by a

taxpayer is worked out as follows.

"(2) (Step 1: raw percentage) Work out, to 2 decimal places, the percentage

(in this section called the 'raw percentage') using the formula:

No. of years x 100

in effective life

where:

'No. of years in effective life' means:

(a) the number (calculated to 2 decimal places) of years in the effective

life of the property; or

(b) 1;

whichever is the greater.

"(3) (Step 2: 100% depreciation) If:

(a) the cost of the property does not exceed $300 or such higher amount as

is prescribed; or

(b) the raw percentage is more than 33;f8%;

the annual depreciation percentage is 100%.

"(3A) (Step 2A: scientific research) If:

(a) step 2 does not apply; and

(b) the property is used by the taxpayer for the purposes of scientific

research only; and

the annual depreciation percentage is 33;f8%.

"(4) (Step 3: employee amenities) If neither step 2 nor 2A applies and the

clothing cupboards, first aid, rest-room or recreational facilities, or meals

or facilities for meals:

(a) for persons employed by the taxpayer in a business carried on by the

taxpayer for the purpose of producing assessable income; or

(b) for the care of children of those persons;

(b) the property is not an eligible motor vehicle; and

in relation to any year of income in respect of the property in accordance

with section 57AK or 57AM;

the annual depreciation percentage is calculated using the formula:

Raw percentage x 1.2

"(7) (Step 6: no loading) If none of steps 2, 2A, 3 and 5 apply, the annual

depreciation percentage is the raw percentage.

"(8) A taxpayer may elect to waive broadbanding for a unit of property in

applications of this section - the amounts allowed or allowable to the prior

successive transferors in respect of depreciation in relation to the

the transferor in relation to the property in relation to the year of income

of the transferor in which the time of the disposal occurred, then:

"62AAE.(1) A taxpayer may, by written notice, allocate a unit of property to

a specified pool for a specified year of income and for subsequent years of

income if:

(a) depreciation is allowable to the taxpayer under this Act in respect of

the property in relation to the specified year of income; and

(b) at all times during the period:

(i) commencing at the time the taxpayer's ownership of the

property began; and

(ii) ending immediately after the beginning of the

specified year of income;

the property was:

(iii) used by the taxpayer exclusively for the purpose of

producing assessable income; or

(iv) installed ready for exclusive use for that purpose

and held in reserve by the taxpayer; and

property in relation to the specified year of income equals the pool

percentage for the pool; and

(d) the taxpayer has not allocated the property to any other pool for the

specified year of income or a subsequent year of income; and

(e) each amount of depreciation allowed or allowable to the taxpayer in

respect of the property in relation to a year of income earlier than the

specified year of income was calculated in accordance with subsection 56(1) or

section 62AAP; and

(f) apart from that allocation, the depreciation allowable to the taxpayer

in respect of the property in relation to the specified year of income would

have been calculated in accordance with subsection 56(1); and

(g) the specified year of income is not earlier than the earliest year of

income for which property may be allocated to the pool.

"(2) A notice under subsection (1) is irrevocable and must be made:

(a) within 6 months after the later of the following:

(i) the end of the specified year of income;

(ii) the commencement of this section; or

(b) within such further period as the Commissioner allows.

Cancellation of allocation to pool - taxpayer's notice

"62AAF.(1) A taxpayer may, by written notice, cancel the allocation of

specified property to a pool insofar as the allocation applies for a specified

year of income and for subsequent years of income.

"(2) A notice under subsection (1) is irrevocable and must be made:

(a) within 6 months after the later of the following:

(i) the end of the specified year of income;

(ii) the commencement of this section; or

(b) within such further period as the Commissioner allows.

"(3) If, under this section, a taxpayer cancels the allocation of property

to a pool for a year of income, this Act does not prevent the taxpayer from

re-allocating the property to the pool for the year of income in accordance

with section 62AAE.

Cancellation of allocation to pool - cessation of exclusive assessable

income-producing use

"62AAG.(1) If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income; and

(b) during the year of income, the taxpayer ceased to use the property

exclusively for assessable income-producing purposes; and

the property;

the allocation is cancelled insofar as it applies for that year of income and

for subsequent years of income.

"(2) For the purposes of this section, a unit of property is taken to be

used for assessable income-producing purposes by a taxpayer if, and only if,

the property is:

(a) used by the taxpayer for the purpose of producing assessable income; or

(b) installed ready for use for that purpose and held in reserve by the

taxpayer.

Cancellation of allocation to pool - annual depreciation percentage not equal

to pool percentage

"62AAH. If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income;

and

(b) the annual depreciation percentage fixed under section 55 for the

property in relation to the year of income does not equal the pool percentage

for the pool;

the allocation is cancelled insofar as it applies for that year of income and

for subsequent years of income.

Cancellation of allocation to pool - subsequent application of special

depreciation provisions

"62AAJ. If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income;

and

(b) apart from that allocation, the depreciation allowable to the taxpayer

in respect of the property in relation to the year of income would have been

calculated otherwise than in accordance with subsection 56(1);

the allocation is cancelled insofar as it applies for that year of income and

for subsequent years of income.

Cancellation of allocation to pool - disposal to which section 58 applies

"62AAK. If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income; and

(b) the property is disposed of during the year of income; and

the allocation is cancelled insofar as it applies for that year of income and

for subsequent years of income.

Effect of cancellation of allocation to pool

"62AAL. If the allocation of property to a pool for a year of income is

cancelled, the property is taken never to have been allocated to the pool for

the year of income.

Reconstruction assumptions and reconstructed depreciated value

"62AAM.(1) If property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of

income, the reconstruction assumptions applicable to the property for the year

of income are as follows:

(a) the assumption that the property had not been allocated to the pool for

the year of income;

(b) the assumption that the depreciation allowable to the taxpayer in

relation to the year of income in respect of the property had been calculated

in accordance with paragraph 56(1)(a);

equal to the pool percentage for the pool.

"(2) The reconstructed depreciated value of property allocated to a pool for

a year of income is the amount that would have been the depreciated value of

the property if the reconstruction assumptions had applied to the property for

each year of income for which the property was allocated to the pool.

Opening balance of pool

"62AAN. The opening balance of a pool for a year of income (in this section

called the 'current year of income') is calculated using the formula:

Closing balance for + Depreciated value - Reconstructed

preceding year of new property depreciated value

of cancelled property

where:

'Closing balance for preceding year' means the closing balance of the pool

for the preceding year of income;

'Depreciated value of new property' means the amount obtained by:

(a) identifying each unit of property allocated to the pool for the current

year of income where the current year of income is the first year of income

for which the allocation applies; and

(b) calculating the depreciated value, as at the beginning of the current

year of income, of each such unit of property; and

'Reconstructed depreciated value of cancelled property' means the amount

obtained by:

(a) identifying each unit of property allocated to the pool for the

preceding year of income where the allocation of the property to the pool for

the current year of income is cancelled; and

(b) calculating the reconstructed depreciated value, as at the beginning of

the current year of income, of each such unit of property; and

Closing balance of pool

"62AAO. The closing balance of a pool for a year of income is worked out

using the formula:

Opening balance - Total depreciation

where:

'Opening balance' means the opening balance of the pool for the year of

income;

'Total depreciation' means the total depreciation allowable to the taxpayer

under this Act in relation to the year of income in respect of all the units

of property allocated to the pool for the year of income.

Calculation of depreciation - pooled property

"62AAP.(1) The total depreciation allowable to a taxpayer under this Act in

relation to a year of income in respect of all the units of property allocated

to a pool for the year of income is worked out using the formula:

1.5 x Pool percentage x Opening balance

where:

'Pool percentage' means the pool percentage for the pool;

'Opening balance' means the opening balance of the pool for the year of

income.

"(2) This section applies in spite of section 56.

Cancellation of allocation of property to a pool - effect on subsequent

operation of depreciation provisions

"62AAQ. If the allocation of a unit of property to a pool is cancelled, the

provisions of this Act relating to depreciation apply, in relation to each

year of income to which the cancellation applies and any subsequent year of

income, as if the reconstruction assumptions had applied for each year of

income for which the property was allocated to the pool.

Cancellation of allocation of property to pool - taxpayer must use diminishing

value method to calculate subsequent depreciation

"62AAR. If:

(a) the allocation of a unit of property to a pool for a year of income (in

this section called the 'current year of income') is cancelled; and

(b) the property is allocated to the pool for the preceding year of income;

then, in calculating the depreciation (if any) allowable to the taxpayer in

respect of the property in accordance with subsection 56(1) for the current

year of income or a subsequent year of income, this Act has effect as if

paragraph 56(1)(b) had not been enacted.

No balancing charges/deductions while property allocated to pool

"62AAS. If property is allocated to a pool for a year of income, subsections

59(1) and (2) do not apply to the disposal, loss or destruction of the

property during the year of income.

Taxpayer's assessable income to include proceeds of disposal of pooled

property etc.

"62AAT.(1) If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income; and

(b) the property is disposed of, lost or destroyed during the year of income;

then:

of the disposal, loss or destruction (within the meaning of section 59) as

does not exceed the cost of the property is included in the taxpayer's

assessable income of the year of income; and

(d) the disposal, loss or destruction does not affect the allocation of the

property to the pool for a subsequent year of income; and

(e) so long as the property remains allocated to the pool for a subsequent

year of income, section 62AAP applies to the subsequent year of income as if

depreciation were allowable to the taxpayer under this Act in relation to the

subsequent year of income in respect of the property.

"(2) Subsections 59(2A) to (2E) (inclusive) apply to the taxpayer and in

relation to the property as if a reference in each of those subsections to

subsection 59(2) included a reference to subsection (1) of this section.

"(3) If:

(a) property owned by a taxpayer is disposed of to another person; and

(b) an amount (in this subsection called the 'assessable amount'):

(i) is included in the taxpayer's assessable income under

subsection (1) of this section in respect of the disposal; or

(ii) would, apart from subsection 59(2A) or (2D), be

included in the taxpayer's assessable income under subsection (1) of this

section in respect of the disposal; and

person;

then:

(d) in spite of anything in subsection 60(1), the person acquiring the

property is to be allowed depreciation calculated on the assessable amount; and

(e) in spite of anything in subsection 62(2), for the purposes of

subsection 62(1), the person acquiring the property is taken to have acquired

the property at a cost equal to the assessable amount.

Disposal of pooled property - application of CGT provisions

"62AAU. If:

(a) property is allocated by a taxpayer to a pool for a year of income (in

this section called the 'current year of income'); and

(b) the property is disposed of (within the meaning of Part IIIA);

section 160ZK applies to the disposal of the property as if the reconstruction

assumptions had applied for each year of income for which the property was

allocated to the pool.

Taxpayers may use their own form of words in pool notices

"62AAV. If:

(a) subsection 62AAC(1), 62AAE(1) or 62AAF(1) expresses an idea in a

particular form of words; and

(b) a notice made by a taxpayer under the subsection concerned appears to

have expressed the same idea in a different form of words for the purpose of

convenience; the ideas are not taken to be different merely because different

forms of words were used.".
