Are you ready for the end of the 2018 Financial Year?

With the end of another financial year fast approaching, now is the time to start planning your tax strategy. By minimising your income and maximising expenses to reduce assessable income and the amount of tax you pay, this could be the ideal time to purchase eligible assets.

So what types of things should you look at?

For a business that is operationally efficient, maintaining your income producing assets up to date is an important aspect to consider. Also the way these assets are funded, financing structures and repayments to suit your tax and cash flow needs should be reviewed from time to time

What are the potential benefits?

By securing vehicle and equipment finance prior to June 30, most depreciable assets can be funded, often with no upfront deposit. Also, subject to your circumstances, you may be entitled to claim an input tax credit for GST included in the purchase price of the asset and generally, the interest you pay plus the depreciation of the asset may be tax deductible to the extent the asset is used for business purposes.

There is also the $20,000 immediate asset write-off for small business entities (with an aggregate turnover of less than $10 million dollars) that has been extended to 30th June 2018. Both new and second hand assets are eligible (apart from a small number of exclusions), with no limit on the number of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 that you can immediately deduct.
