24M. Incurral and accrual of amounts in respect of assets acquired or disposed of for unquantified amount

(1)     If a person during any year of assessment disposes of an asset for consideration which consists of or includes an amount which cannot be quantified in that year of assessment, so much of that consideration as –

(a)     cannot be quantified in that year must for purposes of this Act be deemed not to have accrued to that person in that year; and

(b)     becomes quantifiable during any subsequent year of assessment must for purposes of mis Act be deemed to have been accrued to that person from that disposal in that subsequent year.

(2)     If a person during any year of assessment acquires an asset for consideration which consists of or includes an amount which cannot be quantified in that year of assessment, so much of that consideration as –

(a)     cannot be quantified in that year must for purposes of this Act be deemed not to have been incurred by that person in that year; and

(b)     becomes quantifiable during any subsequent year of assessment must for purposes of this Act be deemed to have been incurred by that person in respect of the acquisition of that asset in that subsequent year.

(3)     The amount of any recovery or recoupment by a person of any amount allowed as a deduction in respect of any asset contemplated in subsection (1) must, for purposes of section 8(4), be determined with reference to the amounts received by or accrued to that taxpayer in terms of this section.

(4)     If an asset which was acquired by a person during any year of assessment as contemplated in subsection (2) –

(a)     constitutes a depreciable asset; and

(b)     any amount is in terms of subsection (2)(b) deemed to have been actually incurred by that person in any subsequent year of assessment which has not been taken into account in determining the amount of any allowance in respect of that depreciable asset in any previous year and would have been so taken into account had that amount been actually incurred by that person,

so much of the amount as would have been so allowed as an allowance in any previous year must be allowed in that subsequent year of assessment.
