SECTION 40-295   Meaning of balancing adjustment event

(c) you have not used it and:


(i) if you have had it installed ready for use - you stop having it so installed; and

(ii) you decide never to use it.
Note:

A balancing adjustment event occurs under paragraph 40-295(1)(a) when you start holding a depreciating asset as trading stock.


40-295(1A)    


A balancing adjustment event occurs for a *depreciating asset you *hold that is a *mining, quarrying or prospecting right, or *mining, quarrying or prospecting information, if:


(a) the only reason that subsection 40-80(1) does not apply to the right or information is that the right or information does not meet the requirements of paragraph 40-80(1)(d) or (e) ; and


(b) you have neither budgeted nor planned for further expenditure that:


(i) will relate to the tenement to which the right or information relates; and

40-295(1B)    


A balancing adjustment event occurs for a *depreciating asset you *hold that is a *mining, quarrying or prospecting right, or *mining, quarrying or prospecting information, if:

(b) paragraph (1A)(b) no longer applies.


40-295(2)    
A balancing adjustment event occurs for a * depreciating asset if:


(a) for any reason, a change occurs in the * holding of, or in the interests of entities in, the asset; and


(b) the entity or one of the entities that had an interest in the asset before the change has an interest in it after the change; and


(c) the asset was a partnership asset before the change or becomes one as a result of the change.

A balancing adjustment event will occur if you stop holding part of a depreciating asset.
