“How to value livestock using nationally set costs”

You can choose to value certain types of livestock using the national standard cost scheme. However, you need to follow the rules described in section EC 9 to use this scheme.

When you use this scheme, the value of your livestock at the end of the year is calculated using a special method. The Commissioner decides how this calculation is done, as explained in section EC 24.
