Great news for small business owners! The Small Business Technology Investment Boost and Small Business Skills and Training Boost have been officially announced. This means you have the opportunity to claim additional deductions on your 2023 business tax return. Let's dive into these boosts in a way that's easy to understand and relatable.
With the Technology Investment Boost, you can deduct an extra 20% (a total of 120%) of your expenses for digital operations and enhancing your business's tech-savviness. Imagine deducting costs for payment devices, cybersecurity systems, and cloud services – even computers and laptops! This boost is applicable to expenses incurred between 29 March 2022 and 30 June 2023.
There's a cap of $100,000 per year on these deductions, but fret not! If your expenses exceed this amount, you can still claim the excess under the existing law. It's time to supercharge your business with cutting-edge technology while enjoying tax benefits.
The Skills and Training Boost allows you to deduct an additional 20% (a total of 120%) of your expenses for eligible training courses provided by registered providers. Whether your employees attend in-person or online training, this boost covers expenses incurred between 29 March 2022 and 30 June 2024. It's an excellent opportunity to invest in your workforce's professional growth and enhance their skills.
The cherry on top? You can claim this bonus deduction on top of your existing tax deductions. So, while your employees gain valuable knowledge, your business gains tax benefits. It's a win-win situation!
To claim these boosts, make sure to keep track of receipts, invoices, and other supporting documents related to your eligible investments and training expenses. Proper documentation is crucial when preparing your 2023 tax returns. Remember, these deductions are available to businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million.
Don't forget that you can claim the additional 20% boost for expenses incurred between 29 March 2022 and 30 June 2023 (the 2022 financial year) on your 2023 tax return. Stay organized, consult with your tax professional, and maximize the benefits these boosts offer.
