If our small partnership purchased a secondhand vehicle and then had it put on LPG, would we be able to claim the 50% investment allowance on both assets, or must the expenditure be for new assets?
Eligible expenditure for the investment allowance requires the asset to be a new asset, so a secondhand car would not qualify.
The LPG conversion kit, assuming that it is a new asset which costs more than $1000, would be an eligible asset, even though it is fitted to a secondhand vehicle.
