EZ 23BC: Property acquired after depreciable property affected by Hurunui/Kaikōura earthquakes
or “Rules for replacing earthquake-damaged property using insurance money”

You could also call this:

“Removed rule about losses from selling certain old structures”

This part of the law, called ‘Loss on disposal of grandparented structure’, used to be part of the Income Tax Act 2007. However, it has been removed and is no longer in effect. The government took it out of the law on 28 March 2024, but it actually stopped being used on 1 April 2020. This change was made as part of a bigger update to tax laws in 2024.
