Instructions for advising your choice to opt out of temporary full expensing for some or all of your eligible assets.

Are you making a choice to opt out of temporary full expensing for some or all of your eligible assets referable to the CCIV sub-fund?

You can choose to opt out of temporary full expensing on an asset-by-asset basis in an income year and apply the other depreciation rules to that asset. You make this choice for a particular depreciating asset. Once you have made a choice, you cannot revoke it.

Select Yes or No as appropriate for your circumstances.

If you selected No, go to Withholding obligations below.

If you selected Yes, select from the following options to indicate whether you are opting out for some or all of your assets:

  • Code A – Some eligible assets if you are opting out for some of your assets.
  • Code B – All eligible assets if you are opting out for all of your assets.
