How Testo's pay plans and the asset tax deduction help small businesses

In a widely popular move, the Federal Government recently elected to keep the $20,000 instant tax write-off on business assets in place until the end of June 2019. This will give small businesses greater flexibility to purchase vital instruments without disrupting cash flow.

What are the details of the asset tax write-off and how is Testo matching this commitment to Australian small businesses? 

What is the small business asset tax deduction?

Under the scheme, organisations operating with an annual turnover of less than $10 million can purchase an asset worth $20,000 or less for the business. At the end of the financial year, owners can write off the business portion of this expense in their tax return. This saves small business operators thousands over a 12-month period, especially those operating in industries that require significant investment in leading-edge instruments. This includes:

• Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration technicians, who require data loggers and measurement solutions.
• Supply chain operators, who need temperature and light measurement instruments to ensure the quality of the food or pharmaceutical items.
• Archivists and conservationists, who require light and humidity sensitivity readers.

This asset should be a depreciating asset, one that will suffer from damage or wear-and-tear over time. This offers small businesses:

• A seamless way of replacing outdated instruments with new ones.
• An improved means of streamlining business expenses long-term.
• The chance to purchase vital solutions for the business without disrupting cash flow – vital for ensuring small business survival.
