The $150K Instant Asset Write-Off Has Been Extended Until 31st December 2020!
Both the Federal Government and State Governments across the country have offered generous stimulus packages in response to Covid-19, to help small and medium sized businesses keep up cash-flow, to protect employment and manage any financial/income downturn.
The instant asset write-off threshold has been increased from $30,000 to $150,000 this year and has now expanded to include businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million (this is up from $50 million). This new offer applies from 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2020 and applies to new or second-hand assets first used or installed ready to use in this timeframe.
Essentially this means if you have a turnover less than $500 million, you can reduce your tax bill and write-off any assets up to $150,000.
To find out if you’re eligible* to take advantage of this IAWO Scheme before it ends 30 June 2020, please seek advice from your own financial adviser to ensure it is appropriate in your situation.
