CU 23: Meaning of mining development expenditure
or “This provision about mining development costs has been removed from the law”

You could also call this:

“This provision about mining exploration costs no longer applies”

This section of the law used to explain what ‘mining exploration expenditure’ meant. However, it was removed from the law on 1 April 2014. This means that since that date, this specific definition no longer applies to income tax rules in New Zealand. If you need to know about mining exploration expenditure for tax purposes after 1 April 2014, you might need to look at other parts of the tax law or ask a tax expert for help.
