$150K Instant Asset Write-off | Cranbourne Hyundai

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Australian Government has increased the Instant Asset Tax Write-off to $150,000. Is your business eligible to benefit? Talk to us today!

In March 2020, the Australian Government increased the Instant Asset Write-Off (IAWO) threshold to help small & medium business owners weather the COVID-19 crisis.

The threshold has now been raised from $30,000 to $150,000 providing cash flow benefits for businesses that will be able to immediately deduct purchases of eligible assets each costing less than $150,000.

The threshold applies on a per asset basis, so eligible businesses can immediately writeâ€‘off multiple assets. The IAWO is due to revert to $1,000 for small businesses (turnover less than $10 million) from 1 July 2020.

Is your business eligible to benefit? Eligible businesses should consult their tax or financial professional to understand how their business could benefit from this.
