Federal budget small business tax deduction for technology

This week, the Federal Government announced a tax deduction for Australian small businesses, to support technology and training investment in this financial year.

The Technology Investment Boost aims to help companies embrace new technology through upgrading tech systems and investing in cloud technology to optimise their operations. It’s been a challenging few years for the logistics industry, with the flow-on effects of COVID-19 restrictions and boom in demand.

What does this mean for Australian Small Businesses?

The Federal Budget 2022 announcement will allow small businesses to invest more in their digital capability. The Federal Government’s small business digital skills and tech boost outlines that over 3.6 million small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million will be able to claim a bonus deduction for the cost of expenses and depreciating assets, up to $100,000 of expenditure per year.

This includes software subscriptions and system upgrades, as well as purchasing tech hardware— for any expenditure incurred from 7:30pm (AEDT) on 29 March 2022 (Budget night) until 30 June 2023.

Boost your business with a pre-paid subscription

To help small businesses to make the most of this opportunity, we are offering an annual plan, with a pre-paid 1year subscription upfront — which enables your business to claim more of the $100k deduction in your June 30 tax return.
