Enhanced Instant Asset Write-off Scheme extended to December 31, 2020

As you may already know, in March 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic began to have huge impacts on our day to day lives, the Government made adjustments to the existing instant asset write-off scheme. If you missed our article explaining everything you need to know about the scheme, you can find it here.

In a nutshell, before the Government stimulus package was announced, an existing instant asset write-off scheme for businesses was available (with a turnover of up to $50 million for assets up to $30,000), allowing businesses to claim a tax break on what they spend on these business-related assets.

In an effort to enhance support for Australian businesses, this was increased to businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million and the $30,000 asset write-off has grown to $150,000.

This enhanced instant asset write-off scheme was initially set to end June 30 2020. However, the Government has decided to extend this new scheme until December 31^st  2020 (all other conditions remaining the same).

The thresholds have changed over the last few years with the complete list available on the ATO website. Be sure to talk to your accountant to assess the appropriateness of these options for your business.
