Immediate deduction of capital expenditure for specified businesses, subject to conditions, approvals and an eight-year recapture rule.
The Act permits an elective immediate deduction of whole capital expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for specified businesses in the year of incurrence (or in year of commencement if pre-commencement cost is capitalised), subject to specified commencement dates, definitions and conditions. The deduction is disallowed where a business is formed by splitting/reconstruction or by transfer of previously used machinery (except a limited de minimis exception), requires specified approvals/notifications for certain sectors, excludes land/goodwill/financial instruments and cash over prescribed limits, and is subject to an eight-year sole-use recapture mechanism with depreciation adjustment.
