The expanded asset write-off scheme announced in the budget is set to be a game changer in driving value from investing in plant and equipment.
The Benefits
When investing in equipment after the 6th of October and before the 30th of June 2022, eligible businesses will be able to:
- Write off the full cost of new eligible depreciating assets of any value.
- Claim the full cost of improvements to existing assets.
- Instantly deduct the full cost of second-hand assets (must be purchased before 31st December 2020).
- Deduct the balance of the simplified depreciation pool at the end of the income year.
