You can claim the small business income tax offset if you either:

• are a small business sole trader
• have a share of net small business income from a partnership or trust.

From the 2016–17 income year, the small business income tax offset:

• increased to 8%, with a limit of $1,000 each year
• applies to small businesses with turnover less than $5 million.

The tax offset is set to increase to 13% in 2020–21 and to 16% from the 2021–22 income year.
