I am buying a salon with fitout that is currently running, can I claim for instant asset write off for fitout?
for example, the owner selling salon fitout $20k . Can I claim 20k for instant asset write off? Can I just ask the owner to give me the invoice that I’m buying the salon fitout for 20k? Or do I need someone professional who can estimate the price of buying existing salon fitout?
To be able to claim you would need to break the fitout down to any separate identifiable assets that may be included in the fitout.

An asset subject to capital works cannot be claimed outright under instant asset write-off. This is because the instant asset write off can only be used if the simplified depreciation rules are used for the business. Capital works are specifically excluded from these rules.
