The assets must be first held, and first used or first installed ready for use for a taxable purpose on or after 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2021. Eligible assets – new depreciating assets (for example, plant, equipment and specified intangible assets, such as patents).Eligible businesses – businesses with aggregated turnover below $500 million.If you are using the simplified depreciation rules for small business you can claim 57.5% of the cost of the asset in the first year you add the asset to the small business pool.Existing depreciation rules apply to the balance of the asset’s cost. Deduction of 50% of the cost or opening adjustable value of an eligible asset on installation.The key features of the incentive are as follows: Backing business investment – accelerated depreciationįor assets first held on or after 12 March 2020 and first used or installed ready for use until 30 June 2021 the Backing business investment measure provides a time-limited investment incentive to support business investment and economic growth by accelerating depreciation deductions. By doing so, you can claim depreciation for the asset together with any other low-value assets, rather than making separate calculations for each. Once the value of the asset falls below $1,000, you can choose to transfer its remaining value to a low-value pool. Hence all figures above would be multiplied by a factor of 0.6. For example, if an asset is used 40% of the time for a private purpose, the deduction for its decline in value is reduced by 40%. Irrespective of the method used, a deduction for the decline in value of a depreciating asset is reduced by the extent to which it's used for a non-taxable purpose. If you started to hold the asset before 10 May 2006, the formula for the diminishing value method is:īase value × (days held ÷ 365) × (150% ÷ asset’s effective life) Reduction for non-taxable use This will continue until the value reaches zero. In the fourth year, the base value will be $17,280 and the claim will be $6,912. In the third year, the base value will be $28,800 and the claim will be $11,520. This means the base value for the second year will be $48,000 that is, $80,000 minus the $32,000 decline in value in the first year. The base value reduces each year by the decline in the value of the asset. The cost includes the amount you paid for the asset (excluding GST if entitled to claim it) as well as any additional amounts paid for transport, installation or making it ready to use. If the asset cost $80,000 and has an effective life of five years, the claim for the first year will be:
Note: ‘Days held’ is the number of days you held the asset in the income year in which you used it or had it installed ready for use for any purpose. Under the prime cost method (also known as the straight-line method), you claim a fixed amount each year based on the following formula:Īsset’s cost × (days held ÷ 365) × (100% ÷ asset’s effective life)
The asset in this example cost $80,000, was acquired on the first day of the income year and has an effective life of five years. This graph compares the amount you would claim under each method for the depreciation of an asset that is used only for business. To calculate depreciation for most assets for a particular income year, you can use the Depreciation and capital allowances tool, which compares results of the two methods and also provides disposal outcomes.
