Practice Update March 2026 – Camberwell Accountants

Practice Update March 2026 covers following points:

Editor: The Government recently passed legislation to extend the $20,000 instant asset write-off for small businesses by 12 months to 30 June 2026.
Taxpayers should note that if their business has an aggregated annual turnover of less than $10 million, they may be able to use the instant asset write-off (‘IAWO’) to immediately deduct the business portion of the cost of eligible assets which cost less than $20,000.
Eligible assets must basically have been first used (or installed ready for use) between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026. The $20,000 limit applies on a per asset basis, so taxpayers can instantly write off multiple assets.
The IAWO can be used for both new and second-hand assets (but some exclusions and limits apply).
Editor: Please contact our office if you require assistance regarding the above, including in relation to also claiming deductions for improvement costs for certain assets.
