1. The word 'incur' in the context of subsection 124-75(2) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 means, in relation to expenditure in acquiring a CGT asset, that you outlay expenditure or that you have definitively committed yourself or have completely subjected yourself to a presently existing liability to outlay the expenditure.
Note:
2. The word 'incur' has the same meaning in subsection 124-75(2) as it has in its context in the general deduction provision in subsection 8-1(1).
