50% Tax Break. Specific questions?

From the ATO web site:

How does one 'commit' to this investment?
I fully intended to purchase a new laptop before the 31st, however this morning they had run out of stock (I have a friend who is getting me a discount, which is why I didn't just look elsewhere).

I couldn't pay in advance, as they need to scan the serial number of the computer in order to process the receipt.

Is there anything else I can do to remain eligible for this 'investment allowance'?

 

50% Tax Break

I would suggest you complete a purchase order for the computer which indicates its make and model. I would include a requirement that you to pay a non-refundable deposit of say 10%.

This then proves intent and commitment.

I am sure this will satisfy the ATO however I would suggest you run it by your Accountant first.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Turns out I couldn't wait and bought one elsewhere. Got a better deal on it too

 

Always pay to shop around

Purchase order + deposit or signing of a contract is enough to commit to the buy.

I am tempted to go out and sign a purchase contract for a Mitsi GXLR Triton today for my partners marketing business - but I am not sure if she would be happy with me doing so!
