For more information on termination value, in-house software and software development pools, see the Guide to depreciating assets 2005–06 (NAT 1996-6.2006).

See item P15  for more information about intangible depreciating assets.

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 received or are deemed to have received 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.
