  (c)   capital expenditure for constructing an extension, alteration or improvement to a building, structure or structural improvement; or

  (d)   a bond or security (however described) for performing * environmental protection activities; or

  (e)   expenditure to the extent that you can deduct an amount for it under a provision of this Act outside this Subdivision.

Note:   You may be able to deduct expenditure described in paragraph   (1)(b) or (c) under Division   43 (which deals with capital works).
