Members of Restaurant & Catering NSW have the opportunity to participate in our 2009 WorkCover Assist project to help lower the incidence of workplace injury by identifying risk that exists in your workplace.
You
will be assisted to identify and put in place strategies the prevent risk
through injury. Certainly, by using this program, you will eventually identify
more and more minor issues but that is the objective. The more you reduce risky
work practices, the more likely that there will be LESS or NO loss of work due
to injury in your workplace.
Does your business need a tax break?
The Small and General Business Tax Break, as part of the Federal Government’s Stimulus Package, was introduced to Parliament on 19 March 2009. This one-off tax deduction is an incentive for businesses to bring forward investment in most new plant, equipment and motor vehicles. With this initiative, businesses may be able to claim an extra 30% tax deduction on eligible equipment acquired between 13 December 2008 and 30 June 2009, and installed by 30 June 2010. It is open to businesses of all sizes, with tax breaks available on equipment acquisitions starting at $1,000.* This deduction is on top of the normal depreciation benefits your business may claim and represents a real opportunity for you to invest in your business. Westpac can help you make the most of it.
