James operates a business "The Daily Grind" specialising in coffee machine repairs and some sales of coffee related goods. The business premises also has a small cafe where he sells coffee to the public. The business has an ABN (28 096 278 581) and is registered for GST. You have previously advised him that the business qualifies for SBE concessions, and several were used in prior years including the SBE concessions for depreciation and for trading stock. As the business has used cash based accounting in prior years the tax return is to be prepared using this method. James does not wish to use temporary full expensing and an instant write-off threshold of $30,000 is correct for all asset purchases.
