Updated Car Limits
There are updated car threshold amounts from 1 July as follows;
Income Tax
The car limit for 2021-22 is $60,733

Goods and services tax (GST):
If you purchase a car, the maximum amount of GST you can claim is one-eleventh of the car limit, which amounts to $5,521 in the 2021-22 year. This applies even if the cost of the car exceeds the car limit
You cannot claim GST credit for any luxury car tax, regardless of the business % usage.
