New immediate deduction for primary producers

Legislation that passed Parliament last month will enable primary producers to claim an immediate deduction for fodder storage assets such as silos and hay sheds used to store grain and other animal feed.

The deduction is available if the primary producer first uses the asset or has the asset installed and ready for use on or after 19 August 2018.

The immediate deduction can be claimed in the year the expense is incurred. Prior to this date, primary producers could generally only deduct the cost of these assets over 3 years.

This is one of several measures announced as part of the Government’s package of drought assistance measures which are intended to aid drought-affected farmers.

Recently we had our end of year finances and tax returns completed by Daniel Bartkowski. We are extremely grateful for his intuitive to look further into our finances with a positive result. Daniel is very approachable and highly professional with a wealth of knowledge within the rural sector, which we are predominately involved in. He understood our situation with ease. We highly recommend both Daniel and Carrick Aland to our friends and family.

Dan has given me advice on income protection. Dan was able to explain it all to me in a very clear manner. Through Dan’s experience and knowledge I received a very positive outcome. I always receive full care and attention from Dan when needed.

Over the past few years my wife and I have been planning to retire. Due to our limited understanding about financial investments, we realized expert advice from a professional financial planner was a priority to achieve the best possible retirement investment outcome.

We had already established a good rapport with Carrick Aland Accountants with Wayne Turner preparing our Tax Returns for a number of years and took every opportunity to seek advice on our future goals and aspirations heading into retirement.

Their personable approach and commitment to delivering the best product and services is testament to the company and will ensure I continue returning to them. Most recently my involvement with Daniel Ellis and his insurance advice was simply exceptional, he worked hard to deliver the best product at the best rate for me and was incredibly considerate and professional in all his dealings.

There were no speed bumps when we moved to Carrick Aland and Intuitive Super. For us it was the level of Wayne’s professional finger-on-the-pulse and strategy in his thinking that he delivered, together with Daniel Ellis and Beth Hall. They put a lot of work into the final breakdown and explained the strategy. The clever part is that now our SMSF is only one part of our financial puzzle. The standout for us was Wayne maximising our SMSF to devise a strategy with a long-term view.
