(ii) a provision of the 1936 Act denied a depreciation deduction for it.


Method

42-7(2)    
If section 58 of the 1936 Act applied to your acquisition of the plant, you use the method of calculation that the transferor was using or would have been required to use.

Note:

However, for other plant to which this section applies, you choose your method under the 1997 Act.

(a) the cost used by the transferor; or


(b) if there were earlier successive transferors - the cost used by the earliest successive transferor.

Rate
