DB 19: Expenses in application for resource consent
or “Tax deductions for unused resource consent application costs”
You could also call this:

“Claiming money back for a destroyed temporary building”

You can get money back if your temporary building is destroyed. This is called a deduction. The amount you can deduct is the same as the loss you suffered because of the destruction.

This rule is part of the general permission for deductions. It overrides the usual rule that you can’t deduct capital expenses. However, other general rules about deductions still apply.
