To evaluate the expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):

1. Evaluate the division inside the parentheses:
(8 - (8 ÷ 4) + (-12)) / (6 × 4 - 9 × 0)
= (8 - 2 + (-12)) / (24 - 0)
= (8 - 2 - 12) / 24
= -6 / 24

2. Simplify the fraction:
-6 / 24 = -1 / 4

So, the evaluated expression is -1/4.
