Best ROI Office Equipment to Buy This EOFY<\/h1>\n

It is mid-May and the financial year is fast closing in. The question is no longer whether you should spend before June 30, but what office equipment EOFY tax deduction<\/strong> purchases actually make sense for your business.<\/p>\n

For many small businesses, the decision comes down to timing and value. Under the current rules, the $20,000 instant asset write-off allows eligible businesses to claim qualifying purchases in full if they are installed and ready for use by June 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

You can explore suitable devices through Ink Station\u2019s printer range<\/a> or our small business printer guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll discuss what qualifies for the write-off, which printers give the best return, the case for a dedicated scanner, why shredders matter for compliance, and the most common EOFY questions.<\/p>\n

TL;DR<\/b><\/h2>\n

The $20,000 instant asset write-off applies to small businesses under $10m turnover for assets installed by June 30, 2026. From July 1, the threshold drops to $1,000. The best ROI comes from equipment that saves time or reduces operating costs, such as printers, document scanners, and auto-feed shredders. Buy before EOFY, keep records, and confirm details with your accountant. This also applies to many home office tax deduction Australia<\/strong> scenarios, where equipment is used for income-producing work.<\/p>\n

What counts as claimable office equipment?<\/h2>\n

Many small business EOFY purchases<\/strong> fall into this category, especially everyday office equipment used to run operations. The ATO instant asset write-off allows
\neligible small businesses to immediately deduct the cost of qualifying assets rather than depreciating them over time.<\/p>\n
