​Small business continues to be the focus of the 2016-2017 Federal Budget and now is the time to embrace the opportunity this presents. Between RBA rate cuts, savings on cars, a healthy real estate market and a federal budget that sees tax breaks for small business and more money in many family pockets, it really is a great time to finance large purchases.

Small business tax breaks

​This week’s federal budget is good news for small business owners with a continued push for the tax break on purchases under $20,000. Small business owners can take advantage of immediate tax deduction on these asset purchases. Aside from stock, small businesses will be able to claim virtually any other asset that comes under the threshold of $20,000. This could be a car, motorbike, machinery, IT and office equipment, tools or even a coffee machine or air conditioner. To be eligible you need to have a registered ABN and turnover of less than $2 million a year.

This went into effect during the budget announcement in May 2015 and is due to extend out until 30th June 2017. So why not get in quick whilst it lasts and save money in your 2015/16 tax return.

360 Finance can help finance your next car, bike or equipment purchase so you can take advantage of this tax benefit. Talk to a friendly 360 Finance Officer to find out how we can get you the best deal on business finance.

Big savings for small business

Low Cash Rate Great for Investors and Home Buyers

At its meeting on May 3rd, the RBA lowered the official cash rate by a further 25 basis points bringing the rate to a low of 1.75 per cent. That is the lowest rate on record!

Since then, all of the major banks have responded with their own cuts, meaning savings for you and your family.

This is a great time to have 360 Finance perform an obligation free check of your mortgage and make sure you are getting the best deal. This could save you thousands over the life of your loan, or allow you to pay your mortgage off quicker.
