Temporary immediate full expensing of assets means businesses can immediately deduct the purchase cost of eligible new and second-hand* assets.
Is your business eligible to immediately deduct assets?
Businesses that are eligible need to have an aggregated turnover of less than $5 billion.
For businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $50 million, temporary full expensing also applies to second-hand depreciating assets.
What are eligible assets?
To be eligible for temporary full expensing, the depreciating asset must be:
- New or second-hand**
- First used or installed ready for use by you for a taxable purpose# before 30th June 2022
For a simple explanation to the new depreciation of asset rules, please refer to the flowchart below. For any other questions specific to your circumstances, please contact one of our accountants to discuss.
