Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated ActsIf you are a small business entity, you can choose to deduct amounts for most of your depreciating assets on a diminishing value basis using a pool that is treated as a single depreciating asset.
Broadly, the pool is made up of the costs of the depreciating assets that are allocated to it or, in some cases, a proportion of those costs.
The pool rate is 30%.
There is a deduction for assets whose cost is less than $1,000 in the income year in which you start to use the asset or have it installed ready for use.
This Subdivision sets out how to calculate the pool deductions, and also sets out the consequences of:
(a) disposal of depreciating assets; and
(b) not choosing to use this Subdivision for an income year after having chosen to do so for an earlier income year; and
(c) changing the business use of depreciating assets.
