Company Tax Rates for small business entities

To get the lower rate of 27.5% ( for 2021 FY lower rate is 26%)

Select "Settings", then "Depreciation"

Make sure "its a small business entity"  is activated via Settings > General. 

Tick the box "Use simplified depreciation rules (only for SBE)". 

Enable "YES" for "Its a base rate entity" via tax form first page.

Note: 

- Please make sure that the Depreciation in the accounts equals the Deductible Depreciation for tax purposes if you want to use Small Business Entity Depreciation Method.

- Accounting depreciation should not be greater than SBE Depreciation.

- We've changed the logic for Small Business Entities. As per ATO rules if it's SBE than 6X must be equal to sum of 10 A+B and there is no need for reconciliation. Learn more from the ATO


Understanding Reconciliation for Small Business Entity (SBE)


Small business depreciation isn’t imported for non-deductible expenses in case of SBE rules. User only needs to manually fill 10A in Depreciation tab if not using the Tools>Depreciation and 6X in Proft&Loss if no import was made.  


If you have imported your Financials from any accounting software, you need to map the depreciation as a Small Business Immediate Write Off or General Pool Write Off as shown below.
