CU 21: Meaning of income from mining
or “Explanation of 'income from mining' removed from tax law in 2014”

You could also call this:

“Explanation of 'mining company' for tax purposes removed from law”

You might have heard of a ‘mining company’ in the Income Tax Act 2007. This part of the law used to explain what that term meant. However, as of 1 April 2014, this section has been removed from the law. This means that the official definition of a mining company for tax purposes is no longer found here. If you need to know what a mining company means for tax reasons now, you’ll need to look at other parts of the law or ask a tax expert.
