Division 296 is a proposed change targeting individuals with higher super balances, and it’s something SMSF members can’t ignore.

If your balance is approaching or above $3 million, these new rules could affect how your super earnings are taxed.

In our latest blog, we explain:
🔹 Who Division 296 is likely to impact
🔹 How the additional tax is calculated
🔹 What counts as earnings
🔹 Why SMSFs may need extra planning
🔹 What you can do now to prepare

Planning ahead is key to keeping your super strategy effective and avoiding surprises later.

Thinking about upgrading tools, equipment, or vehicles before EOFY? Here’s a quick refresher on the Instant Asset Write-Off 👇

The Instant Asset Write-Off is now permanent, giving eligible small and medium businesses more time to plan asset purchases with confidence.

What you need to know:
💰 Threshold: Assets under $20,000 (per asset).
🏢 Eligibility: Businesses with turnover under $10 million.
📅 Timing: Applies to assets first used or installed ready for use by 30 June 2026.

For many businesses, this creates an opportunity to align necessary upgrades with their broader tax and cash flow planning.

Few nuances worth keeping in mind:
• The write-off applies per asset, not to total spend
• Treatment can differ depending on whether an asset is purchased outright, financed, or leased
• Timing matters, particularly around when an asset is considered “ready for use”

✅ Used well, the Instant Asset Write-Off supports smart investment.
❌ Used without planning, it can put pressure on cash flow.

At BHT Partners, we help business owners review asset decisions in context — tax, cash flow, and business priorities considered together.

💬 If you’re planning upgrades before 30 June, it’s worth reviewing your options early.
