Small Business Energy Incentive: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Small businesses in Australia can access an extra tax deduction when they upgrade to energy-efficient equipment.
This initiative provides a tax break for smaller companies looking to reduce their energy consumption by upgrading their hardware.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million that are investing in energy-efficient equipment.
What you get
You can claim an additional 20% tax deduction on the cost of eligible assets that depreciate over time. This is designed to help offset the upfront expense of moving to more efficient technology.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to access this incentive, but you must provide proof of purchase and official certification proving the equipment meets energy-saving standards.
The catch to know
This incentive is not for all new purchases; it only applies to assets that are used to replace old equipment or specifically improve your current energy efficiency.
How to apply
- Purchase energy-efficient equipment that meets the required standards.
- Obtain and save your proof of purchase and energy-saving certification.
- Include the additional deduction in your business tax filings.
- Check the official portal for current eligibility details.
