CA ANZ has been advocating for small business cash-flow certainty by making the instant asset write-off, and the associated threshold, permanent. Susan Franks, CA ANZ Tax, Superannuation and Financial Services Leader said permanency would reduce red tape for business, government and tax agents. “We included making the instant asset write-off permanent in CA ANZ’s seven policy asks ahead of the 2025 federal election, and…
