07 Jun Last chance to claim deductions under temporary full expensing

Deductions under ‘temporary full expensing’ are only available in the 2021-, 2022- and 2023-income years, and are expected to come to an end on 30 June 2023.  

Editor: Under temporary full expensing, businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $5 billion can generally claim a deduction for the full cost of eligible new assets first held, used or installed ready for use between 6 October 2020 and 30 June 2023, as well as (in some circumstances) costs of improvements to those assets and also the cost of eligible second-hand assets.

Taxpayers can choose to opt out of temporary full expensing for an income year for some or all of their assets, and claim a deduction using other depreciation rules, by notifying the ATO in their tax return that they have chosen not to apply temporary full expensing to those assets.
