Small business asset scheme extended again

30 January 2019

The small business asset write-off scheme is set to be extended for another 12 months, stretching the deadline to June 2020.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the extension along with a $5000 increase on the total amount claimable, taking the threshold from $20,000 to $25,000.

The increase means businesses with an annual turnover of less than $10 million will now be able to claim a tax deduction for assets purchased up to the value of $25,000.

The legislation will be introduced to parliament in February with Mr Morrison calling it a “very high priority”.
