Item 10 Disposal losses - post-29 January 2001

Last updated 23 June 2008

Notes on balancing adjustments - item 10

You may need to make balancing adjustments under subsection 73BF of ITAA 1936 or section 40-292 of ITAA 1997 if section 73BA depreciating assets are disposed of (section 40-295 of ITAA 1997). If the termination value of the asset at the time of disposal is different from its adjustable value just before the event occurred (section 40-300 of ITAA 1997), you will need to make a balancing adjustment. Record the amount of this balancing adjustment at item 10 for a loss or at item 11 for a profit (negative).

If the section 73BA depreciating asset has never attracted deductions under Divisions 42 or 40 of ITAA 1997, calculate the balancing adjustment under section 73BF. For section 73BA depreciating assets that have attracted such deductions, calculate the balancing adjustment under section 40-292 of ITAA 1997.

Further Information

Before starting item 10 see the Guide to depreciating assets and the Guide to the R&D tax concession.
