DZ 8: Acquiring patent rights before 1 April 1993
or “Tax deductions for patent rights bought before April 1993”
You could also call this:

“Tax deduction for land lease premiums paid before April 1993”

If you lease land that you use to make money, and the lease was granted or renewed before 1 April 1993, you can get a tax deduction. The amount you can deduct is explained in another part of the law called section EZ 8(2). This deduction is allowed under the general permission rule, but you still need to follow the general limitations. This rule applies to any person who meets these conditions.
