 This is the level of sales or gross income that your business must achieve before it can even start to make a
profit. It can be calculated over any time period preferably monthly, weekly or daily. Assuming you are

What is an eligible asset? |
|
 To be eligible for the tax break, the asset must be a tangible 'depreciating asset' for which a capital allowance deduction is available under section 40-25 of the ITAA 1997.
There are several exceptions to this rule – that is, assets which are made eligible for the tax break that would otherwise be excluded (meeting all other eligibility requirements):

- Tangible depreciating assets that receive deductions under the research and development provisions may also be eligible for the tax break.
