deductible car (or its predecessor) and no other car that was a long-term log

book car, is less than 12 weeks;

(D) it would be concluded that the taxpayer did not

commence, or cease, to hold any car for the sole or dominant purpose of

circumstances, that it would be unreasonable to expect log books and odometer

records in relation to the deductible car to have been maintained by or on

behalf of the taxpayer for an applicable log book period in relation to the

deductible car;

ensuring that the taxpayer could, in his or her return for a subsequent year

of income, specify a percentage as the nominated business percentage

applicable to the deductible car or specify percentages as the nominated

business percentages respectively applicable to the deductible car and one or

more other log book cars, without being limited to the business percentage
