So what is accelerated expenditure?
Accelearting expenditure is where a business taxpayer brings forward the expenditure on regular, on-going deductible items. Business taxpayers are generally entitled to deductions on an incurred basis. Because of this there is generally no requirment for the expense to be paid by June 30. As long as the expnse has genuinely been incurred, it will generally be deductible.
Below is a list of items, which are possible for accelerated expenditure:
- Depreciating assets costing $100 or less can be written off in the year of purchase.
- Depreciating assets costing less than $1,000. These can be allocated to a low value pool and depreciate at 18.75% (which is half of the full rate)
- Repairs to office premises, equipment, cars or other business items
- Consumables and spare parts
- Client gifts
- Donations
- Advertising
- Fringe benefits
- Superannuation
