385-110(1)    
Alternatively, you can elect:


(a) to include in your assessable income for the * disposal year the * proceeds of the disposal or death, reduced by the * tax profit on the disposal or death; and


(b) to reduce the cost of replacement * live stock you buy in the disposal year (or any of the next 5 income years) by amounts totalling not more than the tax profit on the disposal or death; and


(c) to include in your assessable income for the last of the 5 income years following the disposal year any * unused tax profit on the disposal or death on the last day of that year.

Note:

If the election is made because of bovine tuberculosis, it has effect over 10 income years instead of 5: see section 385-125.

The unused tax profit on the disposal or death is the * tax profit on the disposal or death less the total of:


(a) the amounts included in your assessable income under section 385-115 for replacement animals you breed; and


(b) the amounts by which the amount paid or payable for the purchase of replacement animals is reduced under section 385-120.
