DT 11: Association ending
or “Rules for petroleum miners when ending an association with a connected buyer of their assets”

You could also call this:

“Tax deductions for repairing damaged petroleum mining assets”

You can get money taken off your taxes if you fix a damaged asset that’s used for petroleum mining. This applies to assets like those mentioned in section CT 7(1)(b) or (c) of the law.

This rule adds to the general permission for tax deductions and overrides the rule about capital expenses. However, other general rules about tax deductions still apply.
