Small businesses with less than $50 million annual turnover, will be able to deduct $1.20 for every $1 spent on expenditure that supports electrification and more efficient use of energy.


This bonus deduction will be available for expenditure incurred from 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2024. It applies to eligible assets or upgrades first used or installed ready for use during this period.


The measure will help small businesses make investments like:

  • electrifying their heating and cooling systems,
  • upgrading to more efficient fridges and induction cooktops, and
  • installing batteries and heat pumps.


The additional deduction will be available for eligible expenditure of up to $100,000 and is therefore capped at $20,000 for each business. Note that that this incentive does not apply to solar panels or electric cars.
