Giant Holdings Ltd is a large project engineering company. The company has an annual turnover for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $715 million.

Giant Holdings Ltd is a large project engineering company. The company has an annual turnover for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $715 million.

This makes the company a large business taxpayer, as its annual turnover for the year ended 30 June 2020 is more than $10 million and more than the annual turnover of a medium-sized business entity of $500 million.

On 11 April 2020, the company purchased the following assets for exclusive use in their engineering business:

Asset
Original Cost
Tax Effective Life
Black and white laser printer
$92
4 years
Apple i-pad
$940
2 years
Motor vehicle
$120,000
8 years

The company has elected to self-assess the effective life of its depreciating assets for taxation purposes (as outlined above) and therefore does not want to use the Commissioner's effective lives published in Taxation Ruling TR 2019/5.

Furthermore, the company wishes to allocate eligible depreciating assets into a low value pool.

Assuming that Giant Holdings Ltd wishes to maximise its depreciation deduction, what amount can the company claim under Division 40 of the ITAA (1997) in relation of the year ended 30 June 2020?

Note: There are 81 days from 11 April 2020 to 30 June 2020.

Note: Please note that 2020 is a leap year. Hence, please use 366 days in your calculations.
