Lenders are beginning to re-instate previous lending conditions as businesses start to resume trading again.   ### **What does this mean to me?**  If you are a sole trader or a business in Australia with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million, will benefit from the new ruling of an increase in the **instant tax write-off threshold from $30,000 to $150,000. ** ** **This new threshold will be in effect **till 30 June 2020.**  **After that the tax write-off threshold is forecasted to return to $1000 — a figure we haven’t seen since 2014.**  As a business owner this means you have until the end of June 2020 to take advantage of the instant tax write-off higher limit. Heavy equipment, office fit-outs and new vehicles are amongst the assets potentially eligible for tax write-offs.  In addition to the asset write-off scheme, businesses with turnover of less than $500M will be able to deduct 50% of the cost of an eligible asset in the year of purchase. The balance of the cost of the asset will be depreciated over the life of the asset per existing rules. It’s worth noting that this applies only to new assets that can be depreciated under Division 40 (i.e. not second-hand, and includes plant, equipment and specified intangible assets such as patents and software), and no other capital works depreciable under Division 43.      Topics: [EOFY](https://www.1800approved.com.au/blog/topic/eofy), [Car Loans](https://www.1800approved.com.au/blog/topic/car-loans), [COVID-19](https://www.1800approved.com.au/blog/topic/covid-19) [![1800Approved_dark](https://www.1800approved.com.au/hubfs/Logos/1800Approved_dark.png "1800Approved_dark")](https://www.1800approved.com.au/new) #### join our newsletter Keep up with the latest tips #### Financial Services #### Company #### Resources 2008-2026 © Ausloans Pty Ltd Australian Credit Licence # 383 999 - [**](https://twitter.com/1800Approved) - [**](https://www.youtube.com/user/1800approved) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/1800Approved) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/1800approved-finance-solutions) - [**](https://plus.google.com/+1800approvedAu) ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=2099318183729557&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=759887617369365&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=122106498438777&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ![](https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5128956&Ver=2) [![ClickCease](https://monitor.clickcease.com/stats/stats.aspx)](https://www.clickcease.com) ```json { "@context" : "http://www.schema.org", "@type" : "FinancialService", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "Australia", "addressLocality" : "Gold Coast", "addressRegion" : "Queensland", "postOfficeBoxNumber" : "4214", "postalCode" : "4214", "streetAddress" : "33 Ereton Dr. Arundel" }, "aggregateRating" : { "@type" : "aggregateRating", "ratingValue" : "4.6", "reviewCount" : "233" }, "areaServed" : "Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Western Australia, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin, Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Logan City, Townsville, Geelong, Sunshine Coast, Cairns and Albury/Wodonga", "award" : "Australian Broking Awards - Asset Finance Broker of the Year 2016", "brand" : { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "1800Approved Finance Solutions" }, "contactPoint" : { "@type" : "ContactPoint", "contactType" : "customer service", "telephone" : "1800277768" }, "description" : "A leading motor vehicle finance broker in Australia since 2008.
