Maximising Returns: A Comprehensive Guide to Depreciation and Agribusiness Investment

Let’s delve into the world of depreciation, agribusiness investments, and how Synergy Accountants and Synergy Business Finance add significant value to our clients' bottom line.

As experts in both finance and accounting, we understand the importance of recognising the return on investment versus the investment made, especially in light of recent changes to the temporary fully expensing/instant asset write-off scheme. Today, we focus on the benefits of accelerated depreciation for agribusiness assets and how it can help our clients weather the challenges of uncertain & challenging seasons.

The Impact of Reduced Temporary Fully Expensing/Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme

The new financial year has brought significant changes to the way in which entities are able to claim depreciation from what was accustom over the last few years, which may pose challenges for businesses in various sectors, including agribusiness. However, at Synergy, we believe in turning challenges into opportunities. Our team is well-versed in navigating these changes and assisting our clients in maximising their returns through alternate options for depreciation.

"We understand the unique challenges faced by agribusinesses. Our team is committed to helping clients navigate complex depreciation rules and leverage strategic investments that drive long-term growth and resilience” Angie Barnard, Synergy Accountants Managing Director added.

Accelerated Depreciation for Agribusiness Assets

For our agribusiness clients, we understand the importance of accelerated depreciation for assets such as silos, bores, dams, irrigators, centre pivots, fencing, and water & fodder storage assets.

These investments can play a vital role in building drought resilience, optimising crop yields, and ensuring sustainable farming practices. Synergy Business Finance is dedicated to helping our clients recognise the long-term benefits of these investments and the potential eligibility for primary production grants as they become available.

Navigating Seasonal Challenges

As farmers facing a potential of below average rainfall, it becomes crucial to plan ahead and make informed financial decisions. Synergy is here to guide our clients through these conversations, ensuring they have a comprehensive drought plan in place. By leveraging our expertise and industry knowledge, our clients can be better prepared for the seasonal challenges they may encounter.

“We support our agribusiness clients in achieving their financial goals. From optimising tax planning to identifying eligible grants, our goal is to ensure that clients make informed decisions that positively impact their bottom line” Marcus Barnard, Managing Director of Synergy Business Finance said.

Interest Rate Savings on Green Investments

Our team helps clients make the most of these cost-effective and environmentally friendly measures. By embracing preventative strategies, our clients can enhance their overall financial position and contribute to a more sustainable future.

We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and tailored financial solutions. Depreciation strategies, agribusiness investments, and drought resilience planning are just some of the ways we add significant value to our clients' businesses.

Instant Asset Write off

15 Feb, 2023

Instant Asset Write Off, coming to end 30 June 2023. Are you needing any plant & equipment before 30 June 2023? A popular scheme since inception, the instant asset write-off comes to an end 30 June 2023. The instant asset write-off allows eligible businesses to claim an immediate deduction for the business portion of the cost of an eligible asset in the year the asset is first used or installed ready for use. “The incentive was very popular when it was legislated several years ago now.” Dan Chappel, Synergy Consolidated managing Director said. With a growing finance arm, Synergy Business Finance have noted a number of clients purchasing assets for delivery and use by 30 June 2023, before the scheme will cease. “Stock and supply can be a concern since COVID, with many businesses ordering plant and equipment with long lead times” Marcus Barnard, Synergy Business Finance Managing Director said. Eligibility to use the instant asset write-off on an asset is dependent on a few key factors, including: Your business aggregated turnover The date the asset was purchased The date the asset was first used or installed ready for use Whether the asset is new or second hand The instant asset write-off eligibility criteria and thresholds have changed over the years, so checking with your Accountant or Tax advisor to confirm eligibility will assist with your purchasing decisions and correct taxation treatment. While, getting in now to secure stock to be delivered and ready for use before 30 June 2023 is paramount. Long lead times on plant and equipment are affecting supply chains, and delays could mean ineligibility for the instant asset write off. Therefore it is important to confirm timeframes and availability now before it is to late. To discuss Instant Asset Write offs and your eligibility in further detail, you can contact your Synergy Consolidated Client Services Advisor of Accountant directly. Or if you’re interested in a Plant or Equipment purchase, you can discuss options with our finance team at Synergy Business Finance .
