Covid-19 Government Stimulus Packages
9 February 2021
The government has recently announced stimulus packages to support businesses in this time of need. We hope to inform you of the government incentives and the opportunities this could bring in terms of compressed air. To keep up to date on the latest information take a look at the Economic Response to the Coronavirus, published by the Australian Government.
Stimulus One:
Until June 30 2020, businesses with an annual turnover of less than $500 million can write off an asset of up to $150,000. Prior to this businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million could write off an asset value up to $30,000.
"The measures are designed to support business sticking with investment they had planned and encouraging them to bring investment forward to support economic growth over the short term," said Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the media release on March 12 2020.
Stimulus Two:
Until June 30 2021, businesses with an annual turnover of less that $500 million may apply an additional 50 percent deduction to an asset in the year of purchase. Similar to stimulus one, this will result in less tax paid.
