Completing this question
Small business entities using the simplified depreciation rules cannot opt out of temporary full expensing and only need to complete labels F and G.
Other businesses can choose to opt out of temporary full expensing on an asset-by-asset basis in the income year in which the asset was acquired and apply the other depreciation rules to that asset. You make this choice for a particular depreciating asset for each applicable income year. Once a choice is made it cannot be revoked.
At label C Are you making a choice to opt out of temporary full expensing for some or all of your eligible assets? write:
- A if you are opting out for some of your assets
- B if you are opting out for all of your assets.
At label D Number of assets you are opting out for, write the number of assets for which you made the choice to opt out of temporary full expensing.
You will not be penalised for specifying an incorrect number of assets where you have made your best attempt to determine the number of assets you are opting out for.
At label E Value of assets you are opting out for, write the value of the assets for which you made the choice to opt out of temporary full expensing. The value is the amount you would have otherwise claimed for these assets under temporary full expensing if you had not made the choice to opt out.
