It is when Jonas is chosen to become the new Receiver of Memory at the Ceremony of Twelve.
An example of an inciting incident in "The Giver" is when Jonas is chosen to be the Receiver of Memory during the Ceremony of Twelve. This event sets the stage for the story by disrupting the normal order of the community and propelling Jonas into a new role that challenges his understanding of the world he lives in.
It is simple. Jonas is having problems dealing with all the information coming into him like the video of his father releasing the newchild.
good
I think the inciting incident would be when Jonas becomes the Reciever because that is where the story leads up to when he find out about "release" and runs away. -RS

You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.

To build tension
The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
It is the event that sets in motion the central conflict of the story.
