CT 1: Disposal of exploratory material or petroleum mining asset
or “Rules for taxing money from selling mining materials or assets”

You could also call this:

“Petroleum miners must count money received for certain damaged assets as income”

If you’re a petroleum miner and one of your assets gets damaged, you might get some money for it. This money is called “consideration”. If the damaged asset is one of the types mentioned in section CT 7(1)(b) or (c), then the money you get for the damage is counted as your income. This means you’ll need to include it when you’re working out how much income you’ve made.
