Deductions - Specific rules for expenditure types

DB 12: Base price adjustment under old financial arrangements rules

You could also call this:

“Deductions allowed for specific old financial arrangements”

You can get a deduction for certain amounts related to old financial arrangements. These amounts are specified in sections EZ 37(6), EZ 38(3), and EZ 38(4) of the Income Tax Act 2007. These sections deal with cash basis holders and situations where a financial arrangement is redeemed or disposed of.

This rule is an addition to the general permission for deductions. It also overrides any general limitations that might prevent you from claiming the deduction. This means that even if other rules might stop you from getting a deduction, this specific rule allows it for these particular financial arrangement situations.
