Technology Investment Boost For Small Businesses

Digitise your small business with help from the Federal Government’s 2022 budget

The talk across Australia has been all about the winners and losers in the Federal Government’s 2022 budget. Small businesses have come up faring quite well, with a number of investments being made to assist them in recovery from a rough time during the pandemic. One of those investments is the Technology Investment Boost; a $1.0 billion investment to assist small business with digitisation.

What does the Technology Investment Boost involve?

This budget inclusion applies to Australian small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million, and applies to expenditure incurred from 7.30PM AEST on 29/03/2022 until 30/06/2023.

Eligible businesses will be able to claim a bonus 20% deduction for the cost of expenses supporting digital uptake, up to $100,000. This includes spending on services such as:

• Online sales platforms
• Cyber security
• Cloud computing
• Portable payment devices
• Website design

Simply put, this means for every $100 you spend on these digital technologies, if eligible, you can claim a $120 deduction!
