Maximising deductions

Back to front page

 

Business taxpayers

  • Debtors should be reviewed prior to 30 June so that any bad debts can be identified and written-off.
  • A deduction may be available on the disposal of a depreciating asset if a taxpayer stops using it and expects never to use it again. Therefore, asset registers may need to be reviewed for any assets that fit this category.
  • Review trading stock for obsolete stock for which a deduction is available.
  • Outgoings incurred for managed investment schemes may be deductible.
  • Assets costing $300 or less may qualify for an immediate deduction, subject to certain conditions.
  • A deduction for personal superannuation contributions is available where the 10% rule is satisfied.

Non-business taxpayers

  • Outgoings incurred for managed investment schemes may be deductible.
