Tap into the latest tax tips in free AgTech webinar

Grain Central, June 10, 2020

It’s a great time to be tapping into the advice of agri tax specialists as the Federal Government announces even more changes to tax write off schemes.

In the latest amendment announced yesterday the Federal Government has extended the $150,000 instant asset write off from July 1 until the end of this year.

Under the scheme businesses making up to $500 million a year are allowed to instantly write off newly purchased assets worth up to $150,000.

The scheme was originally meant to close on July 1, but as of yesterday it has been extended to new assets purchased before December 31 this year.

Without the scheme, businesses would have to deduct the depreciation of their assets over several tax returns.

But with the scheme in place, eligible businesses can deduct the full cost of purchases up to $150,000 from the amount of tax they pay in the financial year the asset is purchased.

Anyone operating a rural business can learn more about tax implications and opportunities when investing in agricultural and business technologies in our free AgTechCentral/Agrihive webinar at lunchtime tomorrow (Thursday – details below) which will feature a presentation on tax time advice from BDO  associate director and agribusiness specialist, Jodie Knowlton.

In addition to Jodie’s tax tips, the webinar will also hear from one of Australia’s highest-profile businessmen, Gerry Harvey, head of the Harvey Norman retail empire, who has significant investments in the beef industry, and from Harvey Norman’s head of commercial Joel Yeoman.

The webinar will be hosted by Longreach livestock producer and founder and developer of Agrihive James Walker.
