Take Advantage of Instant Asset Write-off — Buy a New Trailer Before the EOFY
With the end of the 2020/21 financial year approaching, if you’re an Adelaide tradie, you work in agriculture or construction, or you run your own business, you should be looking ahead and trying to minimise your tax obligations as far as possible.
Instant asset write-off is an excellent opportunity to do this, as it not only reduces your tax bill but is also an incentive to upgrade your vehicles, equipment and tools.
What is instant asset write-off?
Instant asset write-off means that you can claim an immediate deduction for the business portion of the cost of an asset in the first year that you use it, up to the value of $150,000.
In simple terms, that means that if you buy a new trailer from Basic Trailers for work purposes before June 30 2021, you can claim it against tax in this financial year. This applies to our full range of trailers for sale in Adelaide, including:
- Single axle trailers
- Tandem axle trailers
- Box trailers
- Car trailers
- Tipper trailers
- Plant trailers
- Stock crate trailers
- Flat top trailers
The instant asset write-off also applies to our specialist trailers, including tri-axle trailers, landscaping trailers, tradesman trailers and furniture trailers.
What else can I claim with instant asset write-off?
Of course, buying a new trailer is not the only way Adelaide tradies can take advantage of instant asset write-off.
Work and business equipment such as saws and drills, mowers and ladders, tool boxes and leaf blowers, as well as computers, laptops and other office equipment, can all be claimed for the 2020/21 financial year.
You can also take this opportunity to upgrade your work vehicle or increase the size of your work car fleet.
Check with the ATO if you’re not clear about what you can claim or need further information.
