$20,000 instant asset write-off
The Government announced for the 2023–24 and 2024–25 income years, the instant asset write-off threshold will increase to $20,000.
On 14 May 2024, as part of the 2024–25 Budget, the government announced it will continue to improve cash flow and reduce compliance costs for small businesses by extending the $20,000 instant asset write-off by a further 12 months until 30 June 2025. This measure was previously announced as part of the 2023–24 BudgetExternal Link in relation to the 2023–24 income year.

Further from the ATO:
Small businesses, with aggregated turnover of less than $10 million, will be able to immediately deduct the full cost of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 that are first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2025.
The $20,000 threshold will apply on a per asset basis, so small businesses can instantly write off multiple assets.
Assets valued at $20,000 or more (which cannot be immediately deducted) can continue to be placed into the small business simplified depreciation pool and depreciated at 15% in the first income year and 30% each income year after that.
