DT 17: Attribution of expenditure
or “How to claim deductions for petroleum permit and asset expenses”

You could also call this:

“Replacement permits are treated the same as original petroleum permits”

In this part of the law, when we talk about a petroleum permit, we also mean a replacement permit. This means that if you have a replacement permit, it’s treated the same as the original petroleum permit.

All the money spent, deductions allowed, and petroleum mining assets that belong to the original permit will now belong to the replacement permit. It’s like the replacement permit takes over everything from the original permit.

This rule helps make sure that if you need to replace your permit, you don’t lose any of the benefits or responsibilities that came with the original one.
