Immediate Tax Write-off for Small Business
Changes in the 2015 Federal Budget now allow small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $2 million to immediately write-off (expense) any purchases of items $20,000 and under, that they can make between 7.30pm on the 12th of May 2015 and June 30 2017.
This has been increased from the prior current instant asset write-off threshold of $1,000 and presents small businesses with a significant tax write-off opportunity.
As a practical example "Jims Grocery Supplies Pty Ltd" is presently looking to report a net profit for the June 2015 financial year of $60,000 - which they will end up paying tax of $17,100 on (at the adjusted company tax rate of 28.5%). If Jim was to purchase or finance (through a Chattel Mortgage) three items valued at $20,000 each totalling $60,000 prior to June 30 - he will completely offset his profit and not pay any tax for that year*.
This example would proide Jim with $17,100 of savings back to his business through off-set tax - which could be used to effectively purchase equipment or more than cover the interest costs to finance the equipment purchased.
How can we help you to get the Immediate Tax write-off:
You don't need to have the cash to go out and buy equipment to get the write-off. Geared can assist you with a Chattel Mortgage Loan facility - which will allow you to qualify for the immediate tax write-off. With a Chattel Mortgage, you "own" the equipment immediately, so it's recorded in your business in the same way as a cash purchase.
