Tax Time – 20k Instant Asset Write Off

Are you a sole trader or the owner of a small business, turning over less than $10M per year? The Australian Government has announced new upcoming tax legislation for the 2023-2024 financial years. A Bill has been introduced to parliament containing amendments to ensure a $20,000 threshold will apply to small business entities for the 2024 income year.

This means you can now make business purchases of individual or multiple assets up to a total of $20,000 each, and instantly write off the cost from your taxable income for that financial year.

This could be something small, like a tripod or lights, or something larger like a new camera and lens package to aid in lowering your taxable income.

In order to qualify for this threshold, a range of conditions must be met by the business entity:

  • The entity must carry on business under general principles in the 2024 income year
  • The entity must have aggregated annual turnover of less than $10M. (This can be based on current year or previous year figures)
  • The entity must choose to apply the simplified depreciation rules for the 2024 income year
  • The asset must have a cost of less than $20,000
  • The asset must be first used, or installed and be ready for use, for a taxable purple between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024

As the write-off threshold can be applied on a per-asset basis, a small business entity could potentially deduct the full cost of multiple assets across the 2024 financial year, providing that the total cost of each asset comes to less than $20,000.
