Issue 10, May 2009
G'day fellow tradies!
Some good news announced in the recent budget means that now more than ever, the National Tradesman's Expo makes good sense if you are planning to reinvest in your business or build up your toolbox. Recent changes to the small business and general business tax break mean that you can now claim a bonus tax deduction of 50% on single purchases over $1,000 - up from 30 per cent previously of the cost of eligible assets acquired between 13 December 2008 and 31 December 2009, and installed by 31 December 2010.
For more information on the small business tax break boost, check out the official word from the Treasurer at :

More than 6,500 tradies attended the expo last year, taking advantage of some of Victoria's best deals in tools, machinery, commercial vehicles and business services. And this year, the deals are even better. Just by attending the show, you can register for our new "Club Tradie" loyalty card, giving you exclusive discounts to top suppliers not only during the show, but all year round! There are literally thousands of dollars to be saved, so if you haven't already scheduled it in your calendar, make sure you don't miss this year's National Tradesman's Expo at the Melbourne Showgrounds from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st May.
As a special treat for those for who move dirt for a living, we are happy to introduce Victoria's very first indoor Earthmoving Equipment Test Centre. Here you can not only watch demonstrations, but test drive the latest equipment releases from Toyota Husky, Hyundai Construction Equipment and Dingo Mini-Diggers.
Once again, United Tools will present a showcase of the latest tools from all the leading brands, including Bosch, Cigweld, DeWalt, Hitachi, Makita, Metabo, Panasonic, Milwaukee, Stanley, Sutton, Teng Tools, Paslode, Irwin, Cooper, Gerni and many more, all at very competitive prices. You certainly won't see a selection of professional trade tools like that at Bunnings!
Add to that some great deals from Mercedes Benz Vans, Fuso, Hino, Isuzu, Renault, Peugeot, Komatsu, Hyundai Construction Machinery, Iveco, Isuzu Ute, Schaffer Loaders, Kubota, Dingo, Toyota Husky, Honda, Stihl, Spitwater, Force Access, Aspac Group, Toro, Topcon, Jimy Tools, Oldfields and more and you have one great reason to down tools and get on down to the showgrounds!
The National Tradesman's Expo is open from Friday 29th - Sunday 31st May at the Exhibition Pavilion, Melbourne Showgrounds, Ascot Vale.
Entry is $10 adults, $5 students, children and concession card holders.
Opening hours are 10am - 6pm and parking is available on site. For more information, check out the website at www.ntx.com.au or this months issue of TRADIE magazine.
