EZ 13: Annual rate for item acquired on or after 1 April 1993 and before end of person’s 1994–95 income year

You could also call this:

"Annual rate for items bought between 1 April 1993 and 31 March 1995"

Illustration for Income Tax Act 2007

You acquire an item of depreciable property before the end of your 1994–95 income year. The annual rate for this item is its economic rate, unless it is a residential building with an economic rate of more than 0%. You can choose a different rate under section EZ 14, or it may be 0% for a residential building. You need to know what type of property you have to determine the annual rate. The rate is different for fixed life intangible property and excluded depreciable property, which are set in sections EE 33 and EZ 15. You can find more information about these rates in the given sections. The annual rate for your item depends on its type and when you acquired it. If you acquired the item on or after 1 April 1993, the rate is its economic rate or the pre-1993 depreciation rate. For a residential building with an estimated useful life of 50 years or more, the rate is 0%.
