taxpayer can deduct from your assessable income any loss or outgoing to the extent that:
It is incurred in gaining or producing your assessable income
It is necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for the purpose of gaining or producing your assessable income

how about )Expenditure Incurred after Business has Ceased Operations ?.....
