Solar Power Systems Are Claimable Under $20,000 Instant Asset Write-off

As energy prices continue to soar and as awareness of environmental concerns increases, businesses (and individuals) have been looking for more cost-effective and sustainable alternatives. Business owners have been wondering if solar power systems are claimable under the $20,000 instant write-off scheme, and as such, whether they can receive an immediate tax break on the installation cost.

Yes, solar power systems can be deducted.

A spokesperson for the Australian Taxation Office confirmed to My Business that solar power systems are eligible for the tax break, provided it is legitimately used for business. “The cost of a solar power system can be claimed under the $20,000 instant asset write-off where the system costs less than $20,000 and it is bought and used by an eligible small business to generate electricity for use in the business,” the spokesperson said. “Where a portion of the electricity generated by the system is used for private purposes (for example, in a home-based business), the cost of the system must be apportioned when claiming the instant asset write-off. “A reasonable method of apportionment could be the ratio of electricity consumed by the household compared to the electricity consumed by the business.”

At the time of writing this article, Australian small businesses have until 30th June 2019, to take advantage of the less than $20,000 instant asset write-off.
