EJ 26: Allocation of expenditure on aircraft engine overhauls: election by operator of single aircraft

You could also call this:

"Choosing how to claim expenses for fixing your plane's engine if you have a small business with one plane."

Illustration for Income Tax Act 2007

You can choose how to calculate some expenses for your aircraft engine. This is if you have one aircraft for your business and you are allowed a deduction under section DW 5 or DW 6. You must meet certain conditions, like not having more than one aircraft in your business.

If you make this choice, you must allocate a deduction to the year you overhauled the aircraft engine. You also have to treat each aircraft engine as an unpriced engine for the purposes of section DW 5. This means you follow specific rules when calculating your expenses.

Your choice applies to each tax assessment you make after you tell the Commissioner about it. It stops applying if you do not meet the conditions for three years in a row or if you tell the Commissioner you want to revoke your choice. You must notify the Commissioner when or before you make a return based on a different approach.
