Time Is Running Out!

Time is running out for you to use the $20,000 instant asset write-off.


If you buy an asset and it costs less than $20,000, you can immediately deduct the business portion in your tax return. The $20,000 threshold applied from 12 May 2015 and will reduce to $1,000 from 1 July 2018.


You are eligible to use simplified depreciation rules and claim the immediate deduction for the business portion of each asset (new or second hand) costing less than $20,000 if: • you have a turnover less than $10 million (increased from $2 million on 1 July 2016), and • the asset was first used or installed ready for use in the income year you are claiming it in.


Assets that cost $20,000 or more can’t be immediately deducted. They will continue to be deducted over time using the general small business pool. You write-off the balance of this pool if the balance (before applying any other depreciation deduction) is less than $20,000 at the end of an income year.
