Between potential tax benefits, reviewing your equipment, and making sure all your certifications are up to date, EOFY is one of the best times to get set up for the year ahead.
Here’s what you need to know before the tax time deadline.
If you’re looking to invest in new or used EWP equipment, buying big-ticket items before June 30 can provide clear tax benefits, especially if your business can claim deductions or qualify for an instant tax write-off.
If you invest now, your equipment is working for you from day one of the new financial year. Whether you buy new, go used, or lease comes down to how your business operates and what makes sense financially. Here’s what to consider for each.
New equipment comes with full warranties, the latest safety features, and complete peace of mind. If you’re planning heavy, ongoing use, going new is often the smartest long-term investment. New forklifts, boom lifts, and EWPs are popular choices for businesses gearing up for a big year ahead.
All Star can set you up with new EWP sales from trusted, industry-leading brands.
Used EWPs for sale are a great way to get quality equipment without the new price tag. And the good news is that used equipment may also be claimable. All Star has a range of used EWPs available for sale, including second-hand scissor lifts, used boom lifts, truck-mounted EWPs, and forklifts. Our pre-owned EWPs come directly from our own rental fleet, so every machine has been maintained to the highest industry standards.

Rather keep cash in the business? Leasing is a flexible option that gets you the equipment you need without a high upfront cost. Lease payments may also be deductible – another good question to run past your accountant before 30 June.

Don’t let a decade of service go unchecked. At the 10-year mark, EWPs require a comprehensive inspection. This 10-year certification verifies safety compliance and prepares your equipment for the years ahead. And with EOFY just around the corner, it could be worth asking your accountant whether the cost is claimable.
All Star’s EWP testing services are reliable, convenient, and entirely transparent. We carry out EWP 10-year inspections across Melbourne, Geelong, and Adelaide. If you’re based in Geelong, you can bring your machine to Melbourne, or we can arrange transport for you. Call us today to find out more about booking a 10-year inspection for your EWP.
EOFY is also a good time to make sure your existing equipment is in top shape. Regular servicing keeps your machines running efficiently, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, and helps protect the value of your assets. If something has been flagging on your fleet — a fault, a quirk, or just a general sense that a machine is due for some attention — now is a good time to get it looked at. Like the 10-year certification, servicing and repairs may also be claimable. Book a service here.
The clock is ticking, but there’s still time to get sorted. Chat to your accountant about what tax benefits might apply to your situation before the deadline hits.
