Investment Allowance to Boost Business Investment

The Rudd Government has announced a plan to boost economic activity and support jobs with a 10 per cent temporary investment allowance - UPDATE: This one-off deduction allowance has since been increased to a whopping 30% under the latest Federal Government announcement - in the form of an additional tax deduction - which will encourage important capital investment by Australian businesses.

The allowance will be in the form of an additional tax deduction equal to 30 per cent of the cost of an eligible asset. The allowance will be applicable to most new tangible depreciating assets - which includes most items of plant and equipment - over $10,000 which are acquired or ordered by the end of the current financial year.
