What Is the $20,000 Instant Asset Write-Off?

Take advantage of the $20,000 Instant Asset Write-Off while it’s still available.

💡 What Is the $20,000 Instant Asset Write-Off?

It’s a tax incentive from the Australian Government allowing eligible small businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of business assets up to $20,000 (excluding GST), rather than depreciating the cost over several years.

✅ Who Qualifies?

To be eligible, your business must:

  • Have an aggregated annual turnover under $10 million
  • Purchase an asset that costs less than $20,000 (ex GST)
  • Ensure the asset is first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025

🔍 What Assets Qualify?

Assets must be used mainly for business purposes. Examples include:

  • Tools, equipment and trade machinery
  • Office furniture and technology
  • Computers, laptops, and point-of-sale systems
  • Business vehicles under the $20,000 threshold

💸 Can I Use a Loan to Finance the Purchase?

Yes and here’s where it gets powerful:

✅ Example:

ABC Electrical purchases a new work van for $19,000 (ex GST) using a business loan:

  • ABC claims $19,000 instantly under the asset write-off in the 2024–25 tax year.
  • ABC also claims a deduction for interest on the loan each year over the life of the loan.

Tax impact:

  • $19,000 upfront deduction @ 25% tax rate = $4,750 tax saving
  • Plus interest deductions each year

This boosts cash flow and offsets taxable income without needing to pay for the asset upfront.

⏳ Why Act Before 30 June 2025?

  • The current $20,000 threshold is set to end on 30 June 2025
  • From 1 July 2025, the threshold will likely drop back to $1,000
  • That means no more full deductions in one year – just slow depreciation
