Complete this form to claim a deduction for the 2001/2002 income year (or earlier) for an asset that is no longer used and has not been disposed of. From the 2002/2003 income year, you are no longer required to apply for this deduction. You may deduct the remaining adjusted tax value of depreciable property if all of the conditions are met.

You can claim a deduction for an asset that is no longer used but has not been disposed of if:

• the asset is no longer used and is not intended to be used by the taxpayer or an associated person in deriving gross income, or in a business, and
• the estimated cost of disposing of the asset will be more than any estimated proceeds from selling that asset, and
• the asset is neither a building, nor an asset being depreciated using the pool method.

If you have physically disposed of your asset you do not need to make an application to claim a deduction. Gains and losses on sale or disposal are generally assessable or deductible in your end-of-year income tax return.

• Applicants details and IRD number
• asset details
• use of asset by your business
