Under the Australian Government instant asset write-off scheme businesses can:

  • Immediately write off the cost of each asset that cost less than the threshold.
  • Claim a tax deduction for the business portion of the purchase cost in the year the asset is first used or installed ready for use.

The government recently announced changes to the scheme that open it up to larger businesses.

Changes to the scheme:

Any asset purchased and installed between 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2020 qualifies for the new instant asset write-off criteria:

  • The threshold amount for each asset is $150,000 (up from $30,000)
  • Eligibility has been expanded to cover businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $500 million (up from $50 million).

You can find all the full details on the Australian Government website.

What it means for you:

If you are a larger businesses, you can now take advantage of the instant tax write off.  If you are purchasing more expensive equipment (with a cost above $30,000) then you may qualify for the instant write off.
