Deduction on computer equipment ?

[Musashi]

Hi all. I am considering buying a small laptop to keep all my financial records, maintenance records, IP inspections on. It is portable and when I go around to the IP I can take it and document conversation, maintenance carried out etc.

Question : Would that be a legit claimable item ?

For sure. Accounting etc would, in itself, be a huge reason to claim the deduction. If you use another computer for personal banking, internet surfing etc, then the laptop depreciation would be 100% business use.
Of course, check with your accountant first

If you google "PS2001/6" it will explain what records the ATO says you have to keep.
