EE 24: Property ceasing to qualify for pool

You could also call this:

“When property no longer qualifies for pooling”

If you have an item of property in a pool and you start using it in a way that doesn’t meet the requirements of [section EE 66(4)], you need to treat it as if you sold it and bought it back on the same day. Here’s what you need to do:

You should act as if you sold the item for its market value on the day you started using it differently. Then, you should act as if you immediately bought it back for the same market value.

This means you need to account for the item as if these two transactions happened, even though you still have the item and didn’t actually sell or buy it.
