Business Stimulus: Explained

Our team has analysed the business stimulus package and identified a number of opportunities for our customers who are considering asset acquisitions.

Instant Asset Write-Off: The Government is increasing the instant asset write-off (IAWO) threshold from $30,000 to $150,000 and expanding access to include all businesses with aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million (up from $50 million) until 30 June 2020.

What this means for your business…

Under a Chattel Mortgage Loan, if you finance equipment, cars, trucks, boats, caravans, etc that are tax deductible you will be able to claim 100% of the depreciation on the goods up to a value of $150k. Then claim the interest back as you pay it off.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please speak with one of our Jade consultants to discuss a Chattel Mortgage for your asset purchase.

State Government Stimulus Finance Packages

Several state governments have indicated that they will be releasing their own stimulus packages in addition to the federal package. Our team will be across developments in this space and will advise you of any aspects related to finance and lending.

We strongly recommend that you stay across the government advisories in regards to protecting yourself and your family against COVID-19. The scenario is fast-moving and updates are being issued through all media on a very regular basis.

Be sensible, follow the directions from authorities and stay well and safe!
