Commercial kitchen equipment is expensive. A new La Marzocco coffee machine can cost $15,000+. The good news is the ATO can help fund it.

The Threshold

For the 2026 financial year, small businesses can instantly write off assets costing less than $20,000. This means you get the full tax deduction in this year's return, rather than waiting 5+ years.

What is eligible?

Warning: The asset must be installed and ready for use by June 30. You cannot just put down a deposit.
