See item P15 on for more information about intangible depreciating assets.

At item P17 you include the termination values for intangible depreciating assets – including intangible assets allocated to a low-value pool – that you stopped holding or using during the year (for example, assets sold, lost or destroyed).

Generally, the termination value is the amount you receive or are deemed to receive in relation to the asset that you stopped holding or using. It includes the market value of any non-cash benefits such as goods and services you receive for the asset.

Any consideration you receive during the income year in relation to in-house software for which you have allocated expenditure to a software development pool is not shown at item P17.

For more information on termination value, in-house software and software development pools, refer to the publication Guide to depreciating assets 2003–04 (NAT 1996–6.2004).
