Income Tax Act 2007

Deductions - Specific rules for expenditure types

DB 59: Market value substituted

You could also call this:

"When you pay too much, the law uses the market value instead"

Illustration for Income Tax Act 2007

You might not be able to claim a deduction under section GC 7 if you have to pay an excess amount. You might be treated as paying an amount for something, like buying trading stock under section GC 1, or leasing a property under section GC 5. This rule can override or add to the usual rules, and the usual limits still apply.
