"Go-around" = if at or inside the applicable Final Approach Fix;
"Break-off the approach" = if outside the Final Approach Fix.

Typically for a 3 degree GP, this will be at about 1200ft - 1300ft above aerodrome elevation.

A 'convention' rather than a laid-down rule, and subject to ATC's variation depending on the urgency of the requirement.
