MAY NEWS: Changes in allowable depreciation claims
Income tax deductions for the decline in value of “previously used” or “second hand” depreciating assets are no longer allowable. The changes apply from 1 July 2017 unless either:
- the previously used asset was acquired under a contract entered into prior to 7.30 pm on 9 May 2017; or
- the asset was acquired prior to 1 July 2017 and the entity was not entitled to a deduction e.g. it was not used to earn income.
