How It Works?
Key Tax Benefits at a Glance: When you purchase a brand new vehicle for business use, you may be able to claim:
- An extra 20% tax deduction on the purchase price in the current financial year (subject to your tax year-end)
- In addition to the standard depreciation, calculated as if the asset’s value were reduced by 20%
- This provides a more immediate tax benefit—particularly useful if you’re nearing the end of your financial year.
Am I Eligible?
To qualify for the Investment Boost deduction, your purchase must meet these criteria:
- The vehicle is brand new (not used or second-hand)
- Purchased on or after 22 May 2025
- Used primarily for business purposes
- Acquired by a New Zealand-registered business
