*This determination replaces the National Standard Costs for Specified Livestock Determination 2005 signed on the 31st day of January 2005
(New Zealand Gazette, 3 February 2005, No. 32, page 770). The earlier determination was invalid, and of no effect, because it was issued in error under the Income Tax Act 2004, whereas it should have been issued under the Income Tax Act 1994, which remains in effect for the 2004 2005 and earlier income years. The national standard costs values listed in the table above have not been changed and apply for the 2004-2005 income year.
