This is how to work out whether you have an * increasing adjustment or a * decreasing adjustment under this Division, for an * adjustment period , for an acquisition or importation: Method statement


Step 1.

Work out the extent (if any) to which you have * applied the thing acquired or imported for a * creditable purpose during the period of time:

  • (a) starting when you acquired or imported the thing; and
  • (b) ending at the end of the * adjustment period .

    • This is the actual application of the thing .


    Step 2.

    Work out:

  • (a) if you have not previously had an * adjustment under this Division for the acquisition or importation - the extent (if any) to which you acquired or imported the thing for a * creditable purpose : or
  • (b) if you have previously had an * adjustment under this Division for the acquisition or importation - the * actual application of the thing in respect of the last adjustment.

    • This is the intended or former application of the thing .

    Step 5.

    If the * actual application of the thing is the same as its * intended or former application , you have neither an increasing adjustment nor a decreasing adjustment, for the * adjustment period , for the acquisition or importation.
