Did you know that you can invest in up to AU$20,000 of artwork for your business in Australia and write it off as a taxable deduction?

A Business Incentive
This was brought in by the Australian government in the 2015 budget and ends on the 1st July, 2017 so there's no time to waste if you're interested in getting some art for your office or business. What a fantastic opportunity to create an image for your business and at the same time support Australian artists.
There are a few rules of course...
You must purchase from Australian artists
They must have an ABN
Artworks must be under $20,000 each
An immediate deduction can be made for artwork as long as it's not stock i.e. as in a gallery.
if the artwork is sold in the future at a profit then it would be classed as income.
the art must be movable.

You can read more in this article from the Sydney Morning Herald
Also, here is the link to the ATO website.
NB: If you'd love some art for your business then I'd recommend that you check this out your tax-deductible options with your accountant first.
Don't wait too long though, as there's only a few more weeks before this ends.
