Help & support
The Australian Government has announced that the Instant Asset Write-Off scheme will be extended and re-defined for small businesses with an aggregated turnover under $10 million where they can immediately deduct the full cost of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 that are first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024. For more information, visit the ATO website.
Separately, the Small Business Energy Incentive will enable businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $50 million to claim a 20% bonus tax deduction (capped at $100,000 of total expenditure, with the maximum bonus tax deduction being $20,000 per business) for investing in electrification and more efficient use of energy. This is intended to help small businesses make investments like electrifying their heating and cooling systems, appliance upgrades to more efficient fridges, and installing batteries and heat pumps. Eligible assets or upgrades will need to be first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024. For more information, visit the ATO website.
