Small business owners $20,000 asset write-off to stimulate investment and growth.

Instant write-off

New legislation passed enables small businesses (revenue less than $2M) to claim an immediate tax deduction for all assets purchased that cost less than $20,000.

Additionally, assets currently being depreciated in a small business pool will qualify for an immediate deduction where that pool balance drops below $20,000. This means that small businesses will get a tax fuelled cash flow boost when investing in new assets. To see how this works, have a look at Sam’s example.

When does the new measure start?

The new rules applies from 7.30pm AEST 12 May 2015 and will continue to 30 June 2017.

Is there anything else to keep in mind?
