Instant asset tax write off – don’t delay

The Australian Labor Government is continuing the popular and beneficial taxation initiative, the IAWO scheme, which enables businesses to receive an instant asset tax write-off of up to $20,000 for eligible equipment acquisitions.

Under the current system, eligible businesses can deduct the cost of a new business related asset, like an air compressor, up to the value of $20,000 so long as the asset is installed and ready to operate before the June 30th deadline. In the past, the asset needed to be depreciated over several years; however, you can claim the entire cost for this financial year. Ensure you check with your accountant to verify your eligibility.

“Upgrade now — claim up to $20,000 with the Instant Asset Write-Off.”

Why is now a good time to upgrade my air compressor?

While there was some talk about the future of the IAWO scheme, it is now secure. Buying now and installing the air compressor before June 30th guarantees you can utilise the scheme if you are eligible. This is a significant incentive of thousands of dollars.

Pilot Air is always looking for ways to future proof our customers and our range of air compressors, including reciprocating, rotary screw fixed, and variable speed and oil-free are installed with the highest quality componentry and the latest technology for enhanced longevity, reliability and performance.

For industrial customers, we specialise in customising compressed air solutions that meet today’s demands and have built in scalability for the future. Our technical division will undertake a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of your facility including space, energy, configuration and workloads, to recommend the most suitable solution tailored for efficiency, performance and budget.
