Bounty #14d: method statement, losses, collectables, scope

The s 102-5 method statement that assembles the net capital gain, prior-year losses, collectable-loss quarantining, and the file’s declared scope and refusals. About ninety minutes.

~1.5 hrsRules: Parts B, C, G, I.Rules, not a calculator

Effort: ~1.5 hrs · Fee: $300 ex GST · Finding bonus: $100 per accepted defect, graded (wrong figure in scope / silent default / missing refusal / documentation)

Provisions

ss 102-5 (method statement), 102-10, 102-15 (prior-year losses), 108-10 (collectable losses quarantined; order of application), 960-20(1); the file header’s scope and refusal list; Parts B (refusals) and C (missing inputs).

Rules and scenarios to trace

Rules: Parts B, C, G, I.
Scenarios: s7 (loss ordering; 9,000 vs 11,000), s8, s9, s10 (prior losses exceed), s26, s27 (quarantined), s28, s53 (general loss against collectable gain), s54 (loss-year strictness), s61/s62 (asset character missing or contradictory), s29–s41 (one refusal each).

What we most want

  1. Q2, the headline: s 102-5 step 1 note 1 and step 2 note 2 leave loss order to the taxpayer; the file encodes the minimising order. Acceptable default, or must it be an input?
  2. Q3: mixed discount percentages with losses; the file refuses rather than chooses.
  3. Q4, Q15: prior-year losses as inputs; is the total remaining enough for a return?
  4. Scope: any case that should refuse but does not, or refuses when it need not.

How we work

Rules, models and human judgement — how LodgeiT writes tax law as Logical English. This is a rule-review bounty, like Bounties #11 and #12: you check the law written out as rules, not a calculator, and tell us whether we stated it correctly. No software to install.

Your deliverable

The filled-in VERDICT_FORM.md (v1.2.1) — complete the row(s) for this family in §2, plus §3 (break-it), §11 (attestation) and §12 (signature) — attached to an email to support@lodgeit.net.au. Free-form prose is equally acceptable. §12 is a separate act from the verdict, and you are paid for the review whatever you answer there.
