Legislation increasing the instant asset write-off threshold from $1,000 to $20,000 for the 2024 income year passed Parliament just 5 days
prior to the end of the financial year.
Purchases of depreciable assets with a cost of less than $20,000 that a small business makes between 1 July 2023 and 30
June 2024 can potentially be written-off in the year of purchase. It’s a major cashflow advantage because the tax deduction can be taken in
the year of purchase instead of over a number of years.
To be eligible, the asset must be first used, or installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024. For
example, you cannot simply have a receipt for an industrial fridge, it must have been delivered and installed to be able to claim the
write-off in 2024.
The write-off threshold applies per asset, so a small business entity can potentially deduct the full cost of multiple assets across the
2024 year as long as the cost of each asset is less than $20,000. A Bill to extend the instant asset write-off threshold increase to 30 June
2025 is currently before Parliament.
While keeping assets the best option for many, it’s important to ensure that you’re in the best possible position.
