Increase to SBE Turnover Threshold

As was previously announced, the Small Business Entity (‘SBE’) definition has changed with respect to the turnover eligibility requirement. The aggregated turnover threshold has increased from $2 million to $10 million with effect from 1 July 2016 (i.e., the current, 2017, income year).

Note that, whilst the increase in this threshold will expand access to most SBE concessions (e.g., simplified depreciation), this change will not apply with respect to:
- The Small Business Income Tax Offset (a special $5 million threshold will apply when determining eligibility for this tax offset)
- The Small Business CGT concessions (the aggregated turnover threshold to access these concessions will remain at $2 million, although taxpayers may still seek to satisfy the $6 million maximum net assets test as an alternative method of obtaining access to these concessions)
