Commencement of the legislative instrument
Aus99.1 [Repealed]
Withdrawal of AASB pronouncements
Aus99.2 This Standard repeals AASB 112 Income Taxes issued in July 2004. Despite the repeal, after the time this Standard starts to apply under section 334 of the Corporations Act (either generally or in relation to an individual entity), the repealed Standard continues to apply in relation to any period ending before that time as if the repeal had not occurred.
[Note: When this Standard applies under section 334 of the Corporations Act (either generally or in relation to an individual entity), it supersedes the application of the repealed Standard.]
