EE 65: Meaning of maximum pooling value

You could also call this:

“Highest value allowed for pooling depreciable property”

The maximum pooling value for an item of depreciable property is the higher of two amounts. The first amount is $5,000. The second amount is a value set by the Tax Administration Act 1994 in section 91AAL. You use whichever of these two amounts is bigger.

The Governor-General can make a rule to increase the $5,000 amount. If they do make this rule, it becomes a type of law called secondary legislation. You can find out more about secondary legislation in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
