Maintain Assets
As the federal government has now extended the instant write-off of assets valued up to $30,000 to organisations with turnover of up to $50 million we expect the use of Tax Depreciation in Fixed Assets to increase amongst our client base.
This update contains a number of minor adjustments following a review of Tax Depreciation …
- We have changed the name of the depreciation method Full Depreciation at Purchase to Instant Write-Off to align it with ATO terminology.
- Instant Write-off occurs immediately and is not spread over a financial year.
- Instant Write-off will set the value of depreciation equal to the current written down value rather than the purchase cost. This allows the depreciation method to be changed to Instant Write-off without issue.
We remind you that the Tax Depreciation does not create journals in the general ledger. Rather, it simply provides a report of depreciation for tax purposes.
