Here’s a fascinating question for you. Are all of your customers profitable for your business?

The Pareto Principle probably applies.

You may have heard of the Pareto Principle where 80% of your profit on average comes from 20% of your customers.

This principle can be implemented in a lot of areas (here are some examples):

• Business: 20% of your customers makes 80% of your revenue
• Quality: 20% of causes results 80% of defects
• Economy: 20% of population holds 80% of capital

The instant asset write-off now also includes businesses with a turnover of less than $50 million. These businesses can claim a deduction of up to $30,000 for the business portion of each asset (new or second hand), purchased and first used or installed ready for use from 7.30pm (AEDT) on 2 April 2019 until 30 June 2020.
Businesses with a turnover of up to $10 million can also claim a deduction for each asset purchased and first used or installed ready for use, up to the following thresholds:

• $30,000, from 7.30pm (AEDT) on 2 April 2019 until 30 June 2020
• $25,000, from 29 January 2019 until before 7.30 pm (AEDT) on 2 April 2019
• $20,000, before 29 January 2019.

Businesses can’t immediately claim a deduction for individual assets that cost $30,000 or more. They can continue to deduct these over time using the small business pool or the general depreciation rules, depending on their turnover.
