In a pre-Budget announcement, the Government committed to a Small Business Energy Incentive Scheme that offers a bonus tax deduction of up to $20,000.
The Small Business Energy Incentive encourages small and medium businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $50 million to invest in spending that supports “electrification” and more efficient use of energy.
Up to $100,000 of total expenditure will be eligible for the incentive, with the maximum bonus tax deduction of $20,000 per business. Eligible assets or upgrades will need to be first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 to qualify for the bonus deduction.
If your business is contemplating upgrading to improve energy efficiency, check out the ATO website to learn more: Small Business Energy Incentive.
