• Please note that the PDF version is the authorised version of this ruling.
  This Ruling, which applies from 1 July 2022, replaces TR 2021/3 (see paragraph 6 of this Ruling for further details).

Find an asset

You should first try and find your asset under the relevant industry category - using Table A . You may only use the effective life for an asset listed in Table A if you are a participant of that industry.

If you cannot find your asset in this listing, or you are not a participant of that industry, go to Table B .

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 46 to 49 of this Ruling).

Table A - effective life by industry

Table B - effective life by asset

Go to A , B , C , D , E , F , G , H , J , L , M , O , P , S , T , U , V , W
