With June 30 fast approaching, fitness business owners across Australia are preparing to wrap up the financial year, which means it’s the perfect time to upgrade your gym setup. There are numerous reputable suppliers with a sale on commercial gym and fitness equipment. Smart investments now could be fully tax-deductible, giving your business a financial edge while boosting your facility’s appeal. Here’s why it matters and where to find some great end of financial year (EOFY) deals.
Why EOFY Is a Smart Time to Buy Commercial Gym Equipment
Tax deductible purchases or asset write-offs are a great way to reduce your taxable income and put more money back into your business. Depreciating assets (that is, assets that would be expected to decline in value over their lifetime) can be claimed as a tax deduction over several years. As a fitness business owner, depreciating assets could potentially include equipment, vehicles, computers and furnishings. Instant asset write-offs are another option for eligible purchases, where the business owner can claim the total cost of the asset against the taxable income in that financial year. Keep reading for more information on instant asset write-offs for small businesses.
By reducing taxable income, there are funds available to reinvest back into the business, driving growth and increasing the chance of future success.
The Instant Asset Write-Off For Small Businesses
Did you know that small businesses can deduct the full cost of depreciating assets costing less that $20,000? The “instant asset write-off” has been around for a while and up until a few years ago, it was capped at $1000. In a move to support small businesses through the global pandemic, the limit was raised to $20,000. Realising the need to continue supporting Aussie small businesses, the government has continued extending this tax benefit. So, what does this mean exactly?
Small businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $10 million can claim a tax deduction for the full cost of eligible depreciating assets up to $20,000 that are used or installed between July 1st 2024 and June 30th 2025. This can significantly reduce your taxable income for the financial year.
