Claiming Kitchen Equipment on Tax: Instant Asset Write-Off
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?
- Coffee Machines and Grinders.
- Commercial Ovens and Fryers.
- POS Hardware (iPads, Terminals).
- Furniture (Tables, Chairs).
Warning: The asset must be installed and ready for use by June 30. You cannot just put down a deposit.
