## Resource

Small businesses and tradies score a major victory as the instant asset write-off becomes permanent, allowing them to deduct the full cost of gear, tools, or machinery up to $20,000 per item. This move, announced by Treasurer Jim Chalmers, eliminates the need for annual paperwork and frees up significant time and resources. The threshold applies to all assets at the end of the financial year, encouraging investment and boosting productivity across the economy.
