Example:

Amanda ' s Graphics is a small business entity for the 2012-13 income year and chooses to use this Subdivision for that year. The business has an opening pool balance of $ 7,000 for its general small business pool for that year.

During that year, Amanda acquired a new computer for $ 8,000. The taxable purpose proportion of its adjustable value is:

$ 8,000 × 85 % business use estimate = $ 6,800

Amanda also sold her business car for $ 9,600 during that year. The car was used 100 % in the business.

To work out whether she can deduct an amount under this section, Amanda uses this calculation:

$ 7,000 + $ 6,800 − $ 9,600 = $ 4,200

Because the result is less than $ 6,500, Amanda can deduct the $ 4,200 for the income year. The pool ' s closing balance for the year is zero.

Example:

Amanda ' s Graphics is a small business entity for the 2008-09 income year and chooses to use this Subdivision for that year. The business has an opening pool balance of $ 1,200 for its general small business pool for that year.

During that year, Amanda acquired a new computer for $ 2,000. The taxable purpose proportion of its adjustable value is:

$ 2,000 × 80 % business use estimate = $ 1,600

Amanda also sold her business car for $ 1,900 during that year. The car was used 100 % in the business.

To work out whether she can deduct an amount under this section, Amanda uses this calculation:

$ 1,200 + $ 1,600 = $ 2,800 − $ 1,900 = $ 900

Because the result is less than $ 1,000, Amanda can deduct the $ 900 for the income year. The pool ' s closing balance for the year is zero.
