You may be able to claim a deduction over 10 years for capital expenditure incurred in connecting:
- mains electricity to land on which a business is carried on or in upgrading an existing connection to that land, or
- a telephone line brought on or extending to land being used to carry on a primary production business.
If the expenditure incurred arises from a non-arm's length dealing and is more than the market value of what it was for, the amount of the expenditure is taken to be that market value.
A recoupment of the expenditure may be included in your assessable income.
