What is the significance of 7:30 pm AEST on the 9th of May 2017?
Will they be looking at the contract date or settlement date?
Do the proposed changes affects tax depreciation schedule that was previously submitted?
How will this impact investor’s cash flows and is there a difference between new vs old property?
