Instant Asset Write-Off: A Smart Move for Caravan, RV, and Business Buyers

Running a small business today demands flexibility, mobility, and smart financial choices. Whether you’re an on-the-road consultant, tradie needing a mobile base, or a regional operator seeking remote accommodation, investing in a vehicle that works as hard as you do just makes sense. And thanks to the Australian Government’s Instant Asset Write-Off (IAWO) scheme, your next purchase could also offer a significant tax advantage.

What is the Instant Asset Write-Off?

The IAWO allows eligible small businesses to instantly deduct the business-use portion of assets under $20,000, rather than depreciating them over time. This applies to purchases made and first used—or ready to use—between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025.

Eligibility criteria include:

• Aggregated annual turnover under $10 million
• Individual asset cost less than $20,000 (excluding GST)
• Asset used or installed ready for business use in the same financial year
• Application of simplified depreciation rules

How to Make the Most of the IAWO

1. Buy and use before 30 June 2025 – The RV must be installed and in use for business before this date.
2. Keep accurate records – Track business vs personal use to support your deduction claim.
3. Talk to a tax professional – Your accountant can help structure the purchase for maximum benefit.
