TREATMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES

 

If being claimed by set rate or 12%, then the m/v is put into the general pool at 0% taxable use. If the log book or 1/3 method is subsequently used, the OAV will be that which would have applied if the taxable use % had been 100%.

This is only possible within 4 yrs of entering the STS, or no depreciation claim can be made.

 

If the closing balance falls below $1000, including additions & disposals, but before any deprn is calculated, claim the balance outright.
