Economic Stimulus Package, Business Investment Response

The Australian government recently announced that they would be offering a stimulus package to help stabilise the economic pressure that the Coronavirus is setting on the world. This package will enable increased subsidies, cash flow support for employees, support for business investment all in turn allowing for economic spending to keep the Australian economy humming.

Instant Asset Tax Write Off – Stimulus Package

The instant asset write off threshold which is usually $30,000 has been increased to $150,000 for businesses that have an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million up from the previous $50 million. This will be available from 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2020 for all new and second-hand purchases that are used or ready to be used within this time frame. This package is primarily aimed at funding small and medium businesses.

Backing Business Investment Incentive

If the purchases are not installed or used in this time frame there is the alternative option of the backing business investment incentive. This incentive is time limited until 30 June 2021, it aims to support small and medium business growth in the short term. Businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million can deduct 50 per cent of the cost of a qualified asset upon installation if it was attained after 12 March 2020 and used or installed by 30 June 2021. This incentive has no value threshold for the 50% investment.
