The instant asset write-off scheme

BASIC RULES
  • Applies to depreciating assets from 12 March 2020 for all businesses with an annual aggregated turnover of up to $500 million
  • Immediate tax deduction for the cost of a depreciating asset, whether new or second-hand, which has a cost of less than $150,000 Excl GST (cost includes stamp duty, delivery costs and accessories fitted at time of delivery but excludes rego and insurance)
  • The Tax office has set a maximum depreciation limit on a motor vehicle “designed mainly to carry passengers” of $57,581 Excl GST, therefore the limit on cars designed mainly to carry passengers is $57,581 not $150,000. 
    For example - if a business purchases a new or used vehicle which is predominately designed to carry passengers, it may be eligible for 100% write-off as long as the purchase price is below or equal to $57,581 Excl. GST.
  • Commercial vehicles above 1 tonne carrying capacity like commercial utes may fall outside of the criteria "designed mainly to carry passengers" i.e. they are used for business purposes, they have a tray and are predominately used to carry a load etc. In this circumstance, you may be eligible for a 100% write-off up to $150,000. 
  • Ends 31 December 2020
