BUDGET 2020: 100% deduction can apply to charter boats
It was announced in the 2020 Budget that new business purchases can enjoy a 100% deduction on new business asset purchases in the first year of operation, providing it is operating by 30th June 2022. (See PAGE 9 of the FACT SHEET) https://budget.gov.au/2020-21/content/factsheets/download/tax_fact-sheet.pdf
This 100% deduction may apply to charter boats purchased by a business providing it is operational by June 30, 2022.
Here is an example of how it might work:
Bob's Boats Pty Ltd purchases a charter boat for $600,000, exclusive of GST, on 1 July 2021. Without temporary full expensing, Bob's Boats Pty Ltd would claim a total tax deduction of around $180,000 for 2021–22, with the remainder of the cost being depreciated over future years. Under temporary full expensing, Bob's Boats Pty Ltd will instead claim a deduction of $600,000 for the full cost of the charter boat in 2021–22, approximately $420,000 more than before. At the 2021–22 tax rate for small and medium companies of 25 per cent, Bob's Boats Pty Ltd will pay around $105,000 less tax in 2021–22. This will improve the company’s cash flow and help Bob reinvest and grow her business.
