Piggeries win... government cash splash!
Australasian Pig Science Association (Inc)
APSA 2019
17TH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
Hilton
Adelaide, Australia
THE recent Federal Government Budget in- cluded great news for pig farmers.
The 100 percent tax depreciation allowance scheme, which was due to finish on June 30, 2019, has now been extended and expanded!
Piggeries with turnovers of up to $50,000,000 can write off assets purchased this financial year to the individual item value of
up to $30,000.
The best news is there is
no limit on the number of assets that can be depreci- ated.
Aussie Pumps’ Neil Bennett said: “Producers can now upgrade their water management and wastewater systems, and depreciate the assets as part of their tax claim at the end of June.”
Aussie Pumps is Aus- tralia’s Tsurumi distribu-
tor for a range of submers- ible pumps and aerators for farm applications.
The Tsurumi range is known for its low main- tenance compared to con- ventional blowers or pad- dle wheel-style aeration equipment for wastewater systems.
Aussie Pumps also sup- plies the GMP range of industrial motor pumps, which have been designed for a wide range of on-
farm applications includ- ing animal effluent, water transfer and even drip ir- rigation.
The stainless steel semi trash version is ideal for handling solid contami- nated effluent.
This pump is popular on farms due to its capabil- ity of handling corrosive liquids in sump pump-out and agricultural chemical transfer applications.
Aussie Pumps is urging farmers to buy before the June 30 deadline to ben- efit this year.
New equipment could qualify for a 30 to 49 per- cent government discount, depending on the tax rate.
With reduced business tax rates due to come in next year, future rebates are tipped to be less.
Aussie Pumps recom- mends farmers check with their tax agent fast.
With the June 30 dead- line only weeks away, eli- gible farmers are urged to move now!
