What is the tax treatment when a sole trader or partners in a partnership take trading stock for their own use or consumption?   The taxpayer is required to account for the stock at market value of the trading stock.  Taking the trading stock for your own use or consumption means it has not otherwise been sold in the normal course of business. As a result, the taxpayer has not derived assessable business income from disposing of the trading stock. However, the costs incurred in acquiring, growing or manufacturing the trading stock would have been included in the taxpayers deductible business expenses.  This applies for the 2015 and subsequent income years (previously the stock was recorded at cost price).
