Effective life (by asset)

Table B provides a list of assets generally. It should only be used if you could not find the asset under the relevant industry category in Table A .

If a particular asset is not listed in either Table A or B , it means the Commissioner has not made a determination of its effective life. You will need to work out its effective life yourself (see section 40-105 and Appendix , Working out your own effective life - paragraphs 47 to 50 of this Ruling).
