  (ii)   otherwise as a result of the incurring by the person of such expenditure.

  (2)   In paragraph   (1)(a), a reference to the consideration in respect of the disposal, loss or destruction of property is a reference to:

  (a)   where the property is or was sold (whether with or without other property) for a specified price--the sale price of the property, less the expenses of the sale of the property, or less such part of the expenses of the sale of the property together with the other property as the Commissioner determines;

  (b)   where the property is or was sold with other property and a specified price is or was not allocated to the property--such part of the total sale price, less the expenses of the sale, as the Commissioner determines;

  (d)   where the property is or was lost or destroyed--the amount or value receivable under a policy of insurance or otherwise in respect of the loss or destruction.

  (3)   Any future closing - down expenditure in relation to licensed property and a petroleum project must be taken into account in working out the assessable property receipts derived by a person in relation to the project to the extent that the assessable property receipts are worked out under paragraph   (1)(b) in relation to the termination of the use of the licensed property.

  (4)   Assessable property receipts worked out under paragraph   (1)(b) are taken to be zero if future closing - down expenditure taken into account under subsection   (3) equals or exceeds what would have been those assessable property receipts if the future closing - down expenditure was not taken into account .

Note:   In this case, an extra amount may be included in the person's closing - down expenditure in relation to the project: see subsection   39(3).
