SECTION 328-5 What this Division is about  

This Division gives you a choice to change the way the income tax law applies to you in these ways if you are carrying on a business with a small turnover, and you pass certain other criteria:

• you only account for annual changes in trading stock value that are more than $5,000; and

• you put your depreciating assets into either a long life pool or a general pool and treat each pool as a single asset.

In usual circumstances, these changes will simplify the working out of your taxable income, and so reduce your compliance costs.

Note:

If you choose to become an STS taxpayer, you may be entitled to the 25% entrepreneurs ' tax offset: see Subdivision 61-J .
