In a recent article in The West Australian, titled "Perth Firm Calls for Extension of Temporary Full Expensing as June 30 Deadline Looms," Hub Interiors voiced its support for extending the temporary full expensing scheme. As we navigate through challenging economic times, it's imperative to consider measures that can bolster businesses and stimulate economic growth. Let's delve into the details of this scheme and why an extension could be beneficial.
Understanding the Temporary Full Expensing Scheme
The temporary full expensing scheme, introduced by the Morrison Government in the 2020 Budget, was a timely response to the economic challenges posed by the global pandemic. This scheme allowed businesses with a total annual turnover of up to $5 billion to deduct the full cost of eligible assets, including items like new or used cars, provided these assets were purchased and put to use by June 30, 2023.
Why the Scheme Matters
The temporary full expensing scheme was designed to serve as a stimulus, encouraging businesses to invest in assets that would not only benefit their operations but also drive economic activity. By providing immediate deductions for the cost of eligible assets, the scheme aimed to boost cash flow for businesses and incentivize capital expenditure.
