In D6 of TaxPack2006 there is a section:
We were depreciating carpet and a stove in the low value pool of an IP we sold last year...so what is their "termination value". Do you say they were ostensibly "sold" for their depreciated value, or assign them 0 value and write it off entirely?
Disposal of depreciating assets in a low-value pool
If a ‘balancing adjustment event’ happened to an asset in a low-value pool in 2005–06 (such as the sale, loss or destruction of the asset), you need to reduce the closing pool balance for 2005–06 by the taxable use percentage of the asset’s termination value. (The asset’s termination value is usually the proceeds from the asset’s sale or the insurance payout for its loss or destruction.) If the taxable use percentage of the asset’s termination value is more than the closing pool balance, you reduce the closing pool balance to nil and include the excess in your assessable income at item 22.
