Instant Asset Write-Off Increased 2020

Posted April 29, 2020

In mid-March, the Morrison Government announced a $17.6 billion stimulus plan to support Australian businesses and offer an immediate boost to the economy during these challenging times.

What does this mean for you as a small or medium business owner?

The government increased the Instant Asset Write-Off threshold to $150,000 from $30,000 until 30 June 2020.
The write-off benefit will now be extended to businesses with a turnover of up to $500 million, up from $50 million before.
If you purchase a business vehicle or any income producing asset between now and 30 June, 100% of the cost can be written-off immediately, essentially providing an instant 30% saving on your acquisition.

What can you claim?

If you were looking to invest in your business, now is the time to bring this forward to benefit from this increased government incentive. For example, business assets that may be able to be immediately written-off are:

Vehicles used for work purposes (thresholds apply up to LCT*)
Trucks and trailers
Farming equipment
Earthmoving machinery
Medical equipment
Office furniture or computers
Shop fitout fixtures or fittings
