The 2025 Investment Boost permits an extra deduction from taxable income of 20% of the cost of new assets in the year of purchase.
This Applies to:
- New equipment (not previously used in NZ)
- Business-use assets (e.g., office computers, servers)
- Depreciable assets under NZ tax rules (e.g. $1,000 or more cost).
Sounds like free money – is there any Gotcha?
Talk to your tax advisor, however Standard depreciation will be slightly lower as the cost of the asset is reduced by the bonus deduction before standard depreciation is calculated.
How Does This Help Your Business?
The intent is your customers, and you, will have more cash in hand for purchasing relevant assets that help you run a business and, as IT equipment comes a close second to a really good coffee machine, this is a good time to consider replacement of ageing hardware.
With Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025 you need to update your Windows 10 and earlier devices as they will become more vulnerable without security updates. Windows 11 devices avoid security risks and ensure future compatibility. The 2025 Investment boost assists with that purchase by adding additional depreciation in year 1.
