    Don't know what sort of excavator or reasonable ute (other than half worn out) for <$20k?

    Maybe Tonka-toy or Great Wall -- which will fall apart when you look at it.
    Gawd -- these shiny bummed spruikers are out of touch with reality.

    Local Toyota dealer has brand new Hilux Workmates (2.7 manuals in white) for advertised price of $21,990 drive away with air and tray. In speaking with him, I got the impression that 20k might be possible. So there you go, instant 20k write off.

    Cheers

    Interesting, and if one does some negotiating then some 'footwork' with the accounting by 'unbundling' the deal into it's components eg. Rego (which is a non capital expense), stamp duty, etc etc. it may well be possible to achieve a depreciable value for 'the vehicle' of <$20k - the magic number.

    In any case you are unsure, seek advice from your advisor or beancounter.

    That'd be right, I just bought a new (2nd hand) ute for just under 20k 6 months ago. Also spent money on a trailer tool box. Maybe I'll pick up an excavator this year :-)

    In a self-asses taxation system peeps can be as 'tricky' as they like (with or without their accountant's help) - however I suspect that under scrutiny this one won't hold water.
    A ute tray is not usable by itself - it is not an independent item but part of a 'set' that adds to and becomes part of the ute.
    Registration and transfer costs are part of the purchase price - not independent or separate from it.

    While well intentioned, ask your tax agent or accountant before accepting a car salesman's word on taxation matters.

    Sorry guys.
    Figure quoted in ad is $20,900 not $21,990
    20k NEW Hilux (as a write off) is there for the taking.

    Cheers
