I am a sole trader with ABN. Non primary production.

I bought a computer for my business in Feb 2022. I calculated that $800 of the computer is business use, the rest is private.

To claim the $800, where do I put this in my business return on myTax - is it at “depreciation expenses manually calculated?” Do I also need to put this number in the Other Business and Professional Items section where it says “Temporary full expensing deduction”?


i don’t have any other items left that i have depreciated in the past. This is the only depreciation item.


Also, what is “Small business entity simplified depreciationDeduction for certain assets”. Do i need to put the figure in this section?

Hi @Kluk,


You're on the right track. This will go at the business section of your return. We've answered a similar post on our forum, you can view our response here.


You can choose to use the simplified depreciation rules if you have a small business with an aggregated turnover of less than:

  • $10 million from 1 July 2016 onwards
  • $2 million for previous income years.
