You could also call this:

"Choosing how to claim expenses for fixing aircraft engines if you own one plane for your business"

Illustration for Income Tax Act 2007

You can choose how to calculate and allocate some expenses for aircraft engine overhauls. This is if you operate one aircraft in your business and meet certain conditions. You must follow specific rules when making this choice, such as allocating deductions to the correct income year, as stated in section DW 5 or DW 6. You need to notify the Commissioner of your choice and follow the rules for each assessment. Your choice applies until you no longer meet the conditions or you revoke it. You must treat each aircraft engine as an unpriced aircraft engine for the purposes of section DW 5. Your choice will apply for each income year until you meet certain conditions, such as not meeting the requirements or revoking your choice.
