The $20,000 instant asset write off does not mean your business gets $20,000 back.

For eligible small businesses, it can allow the business portion of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 to be deducted immediately. The deduction reduces taxable income, and the actual tax benefit depends on the circumstances of the business.

Our latest article explains how the $20,000 threshold works, what happens to assets above the threshold and what to consider before making a purchase.

Our latest article covers what Victorian property owners should check now and the changes coming on 13 October.

The RBA will announce its next cash rate decision next week.

Whether the cash rate moves or stays at 4.35 per cent, there is one number borrowers can check today: the interest rate on their own loan.

If you have had the same home loan for several years, it may be worth checking the rate, fees and features you are currently paying for and whether the loan still suits your circumstances.

Our latest article covers what to check before deciding whether to stay with your lender, negotiate your rate or consider refinancing.
