View history note
Hide history noteA loss is realised for income tax purposes by a *realisation event that happens to an item of *trading stock and consists of the ending of an income year if, and only if, the *value of the item, as trading stock of an entity on hand at the end of that income year, is less than:
(a) its *cost, if it became part of the trading stock on hand of the entity during that income year; or
(b) otherwise, its value as trading stock of the entity on hand at the start of that income year.
977-30(2)
The loss that is realised for income tax purposes by the event is the difference between the *value of the item, as *trading stock of the entity on hand at the end of that income year and:
(a) the amount that the entity can deduct for the item's *cost; or
(b) the item's *value as trading stock on hand at the start of the income year;
as appropriate.
977-30(3)
If a provision of this Act reduces the loss that would, apart from that provision, be *realised for income tax purposes by the event:
(a) the amount that the entity can deduct for the item's *cost; or
(b) the item's *value as *trading stock on hand at the start of the income year;
as appropriate, is reduced by the same amount.
