Project Pool Write Off

<h1 >Project pool deductions</h1>

<p >If you have capital expenditure directly connected with a project, you may be able to claim a deduction for capital expenditure allocated to a project pool.

A project is carried on if it involves some form of continuing activity - not a less-active investment, such as a rental property.

The project must be:</p>

<ul >

<li >operated for a taxable purpose</li>

<li >carried on or proposed to be carried on for a taxable purpose which was abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of before or after it started to operate.</li>

</ul>

<p ><strong >You cannot claim a deduction for:</strong></p>

<ul >

<li >private or domestic expenditure, such as the cost of constructing a driveway at your home</li>

<li >capital expenditure directly connected with a project undertaken in carrying on a business.</li>

</ul>

<p>&#160;</p>
