Repeal the subsection, substitute:

Other provisions

  (6)   If any provision of this Act that is not mentioned above is to apply in relation to the asset by including an amount in assessable income, or by allowing an amount as a deduction, in a way that brings into account (directly or indirectly) any of the following amounts:

  (b)   outgoings incurred, or amounts paid, in respect of the asset;

  (c)   expenditure in respect of the asset;

  (d)   an amount of a similar kind in respect of the asset;

  (b)   is attributable to a period (if any) during which the customer can unilaterally cancel the contract or agreement without paying compensation or a penalty; or

  (c)   if there is a period during which the customer can unilaterally cancel the contract or agreement, but must pay compensation or a penalty--is attributable to that period, but not to that compensation or penalty.
