Section 274: Relationship between rules restricting and permitting deductions
1097.This section determines the interaction between those provisions that allow a deduction and those provisions that prohibit a deduction. It is new. See Change 6 in Annex 1.
1098.This section does a similar job in the property income Part to that which section 31 does in the trading income Part. The general principle is that a rule allowing a deduction takes priority over a rule prohibiting a deduction. But that is subject to the exceptions the section mentions.
1099.Subsection (4) makes it clear that the effect of this priority rule extends to the large number of trading income rules that apply to property income indirectly through section 272.
