The Federal Government has announced multiple major economic stimulus packages to assist businesses across the country during the COVID-19 crisis.
Recently, the instant asset write-off threshold was increased from $30,000 to $150,000 and expanded accessibility to businesses with an annual turnover of less than $500 million.
Any new or second-hand assets first used or installed ready for use between 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2020, are eligible for this scheme. This increased threshold enables immediate deductions on purchases of eligible assets and is applied per asset - so multiple assets can be written-off.
The expansion will see over 3.5 million businesses benefit from the scheme.
What does the increase in threshold mean for me as a business owner?
This increase in the Asset Write-Off scheme enables greater cash flow for small to medium sized businesses who are looking to make larger plant and equipment purchases. It will enable your business to withstand and recover from the economic impact of the Corona Virus through increased access to cash and a greater reduction in tax payable at the end of the financial year.
What could I purchase under this scheme?
Many businesses are choosing to purchase plant and machinery and take advantage of the increase in cash flow during these difficult times.
Maybe a pump is what I need?
Many are choosing to upgrade their pumps in response to the opportunity and are seeking to streamline their manufacturing and production capabilities.
