Instant Asset Write Off Accelerated Depreciation Across The Toyota Range
9 December 2020 · Our Blog - Read The Latest Articles
In case you’re not aware, as part of the 2020-21 Budget the Federal Government announced a further extension and updated rules for the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme to assist businesses with the purchase of assets.
How do the new Instant Asset Write-Off (Accelerated Depreciation) rules apply?
Business owners may be eligible for an immediate tax write-off of a new or second-hand vehicle up to any value (previously $150,000 maximum) if the asset is ordered, acquired, installed and ready for use between 6 October 2020 and 30 June 2022.
Australian taxation legislation currently states that the depreciation limit for a motor vehicle defined as a car* remains at $59,136.
* The depreciation car limit applies to a vehicle classified as a ‘car’ (a vehicle designed to carry a load of less than 1 tonne and fewer than 9 passengers) in the tax legislation.
This means that cars below the car depreciation limit; like Yaris, Corolla, Camry, C-HR & RAV4 may be eligible for a 100% Instant Asset Write-Off in the income year it is first ready for use if delivered by 30 June 2022. Vehicles (with over 1-tonne payload) such as our HiLux 4x4 Extra-Cab Cab-Chassis for example, may be eligible for a 100% write-off.
