This applies from 12 March 2020 until 30 June 2020, for new or second hand assets first used or installed ready for use in this timeframe.

This applies to eligible assets acquired from 12 March 2020 and first used or installed by 30 June 2021. Businesses with a turnover of less than $500 million will be able to deduct 50 per cent of the cost of an eligible asset on installation, with existing depreciation rules applying to the balance of the asset cost.
