“This provision about mining development costs has been removed from the law”
This part of the law used to explain what ‘mining development expenditure’ meant. However, it has been removed from the law. You don’t need to worry about this definition anymore because it’s no longer part of the Income Tax Act 2007. The government took it out on 1 April 2014, so it doesn’t apply to tax years from 2014-15 onwards.
