(a) plant that you acquired at or before 11.45 am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999; or


(b) a depreciating asset that is not plant and that you acquired before 1 July 2001;

is reduced (but not below nil) if:


(c) for a paragraph (a) case - there would have been a reduction under subsection 42-192(2) of the former Act as a result of that event; or


(d) for a paragraph (b) case - there would have been a reduction under subsection 42-192(2) of the former Act as a result of that event if the asset were plant.

40-345(2)    
The amount of the reduction is the amount worked out under subsection 42-192(2) of the former Act.

40-345(3)    
There is no reduction under subsection (1) to an amount included in your assessable income under subsection 104-240(1) if the balancing adjustment event results in a discount capital gain under Division 115 .

However, you can choose not to make a reduction under subsection (1) and instead take advantage of the discount capital gain.

40-345(5)
