FE 10: Currency
or “Use New Zealand dollars for calculating financial values”
You could also call this:

“ Ignoring certain value changes in tax calculations ”

This part of the law talks about how to handle certain changes in value when doing calculations. If you’re working on a calculation under this part of the law, and there’s an increase or decrease in value that’s supposed to be ignored according to section GB 51B, you need to follow these rules.

When you’re doing the calculation, you should pretend that the increase or decrease never happened. You need to do your math as if the value stayed the same and didn’t go up or down.

This rule helps make sure that certain changes in value don’t affect the calculations in ways they’re not supposed to. It’s a way to keep things fair and consistent when figuring out taxes.
