Businesses investing in cloud video surveillance
Australian businesses that invest in cloud video surveillance between March 29, 2022 and June 30, 2022 can claim the expenditure as usual in their 2021–22 tax returns and claim the additional 20% bonus deduction for this period in their 2022–23 tax returns.
Businesses that invest in cloud video surveillance from July 1, 2022 until June 30, 2023 can deduct the entire 120% in their 2022–23 tax returns.
