Skills & Technology Boosts Webinar 2023

Recorded 9 August 2023. How to take advantage of the long-awaited bonus deductions.

Recorded 9 August 2023

It has been a long time coming, but legislation introducing the Skills and Training Boost and the Technology Boost has finally passed through Parliament and is now law. As these tax incentives will only be available for a limited period of time it is important to get up to speed on the rules as quickly as possible.

The boosts provide eligible businesses with a bonus tax deduction for qualifying expenditure that relates to training employees and digitising the operations of the business. However, there are some strict conditions that need to be satisfied to qualify for the additional deductions and it is important to understand the parameters of the rules before clients commit to additional expenditure.

The Skills & Technology Boosts Webinar looks at the conditions that need to be satisfied to access the boosts, how to calculate the bonus deductions that can be claimed and practical issues that clients are likely to face when seeking access to the boosts.
