EZ 23D: Insurance for Canterbury earthquake damage of property: limit on depreciation recovery income
or “Old rules about insurance money for earthquake-damaged property in Canterbury”
You could also call this:

“Old rule for earthquake-affected items no longer applies”

This law used to be about how to treat items that were hard to get to because of the Canterbury earthquake. The law said these items could be considered as if they were available to use, even if you couldn’t actually reach them. However, this rule doesn’t apply anymore. The government removed it on 1 April 2016, so it’s not part of the current tax rules. This means that from the 2016-17 tax year onwards, there’s no special treatment for items affected by the Canterbury earthquake in this way.
